Khloe, 39, opened up on Tuesday’s episode of the SHE MD podcast, where she joked about the possibility of an accidental switch-up at the surrogacy agency.
Along with Tatum, Khloe also shares her six-year-old daughter, True, with the Cleveland Cavaliers player.
While the Good American founder carried True, she welcomed Tatum via surrogacy in July 2022.
Believing her young son resembles and acts like her brother, Rob Kardashian, 37, Khloe said she needed DNA evidence that he wasn’t actually Tatum’s father.

“My son looks just like my brother,” Khloe said.
“Because he was an IVF baby or a surrogate baby, I was like, ‘Rob, have you ever donated sperm somewhere?'”
Khloe then said she made Tristan take three paternity tests, which he was “so offended” by.
“In this family, that would not surprise me, but that would be so disgusting,” Khloe added.

Taking to X, some fans said they were shocked by Khloe’s admittance.
“I beg your finest pardon?” one person tweeted.
“Is this not insane ??? No way this is real,” a second wrote.
“Now why would you tell people this???” a third asked.

Khloe and Tristan were first linked in 2016 after attending a party in Miami together.
In 2018, they welcomed their first child, True.
Tristan was then caught cheating on Khloe multiple times during her pregnancy.
They split after it was revealed that he kissed Kylie Jenner’s best friend Jordyn Woods at a party.
The pair reconciled in 2020 and ended things in 2021.
Six months after they ended, it came to light that Tristan fathered a child with Maralee Nichols while he and Khloe were together.
Just months later in July 2022, Khloe revealed that the pair were expecting their second child, son Tatum, via surrogate.
The pair are currently co-parenting and claim there is no romantic connection between them.
Tristan is also the father of 7-year-old Prince, whom he shares with Jordan Craig.
While she has not gotten back together with the NBA star, Khloe gushed over him as a father to their two kids.
“He made mistake but he’s the nicest guy,” she explained.
“We get along so well now. We’re not meant to be together, but he was meant to be the father of these kids.”
Khloe continued, “I’ve seen some other fathers that are not great fathers.
“I’m very grateful that I have one that wants to be in their lives, that’s active every single day even though he doesn’t live here full time.”
As fans are constantly questioning the star’s relationship status, Khloe also confirmed she is currently still single.
She said she is solely focused on her kids and will eventually get back into the dating pool.

Khloe’s podcast appearance also had her opening up about the challenges she first faced with Tatum, admitting she didn’t name him until eight months after his birth.
“So Tatum’s a little different of a story. I like unique names, but not off-the-wall names,” she said.
“I think our family has enough off-the-wall names. I didn’t want to have just too much craziness.
“I actually didn’t legally name Tatum, I think, for maybe eight months.”
Khloe said that she didn’t like any of the names she tried at first and would resort to just calling him “baby” or “papa.”
“So papa was a lot that I would use, but that was tough for me naming him because it’s interesting because I wasn’t carrying him, I didn’t really feel anything,” she admitted.
Khloe previously opened up about not feeling as connected to Tatum as she felt to True during an episode of The Kardashians.
“With True, I could feel things about her, or when I would pray at night, I would pray, and we would have our conversations, and I don’t know, I just felt True’s spirit,” Khloe explained.
However, Khloe said she now feels more connected to Tatum than ever, adding that she is “obsessed” with him.
