Tatum Thompson is the birthday boy! Khloe Kardadshian, 39, marked her son’s 1st birthday on July 28 with the sweetest Instagram tribute that included rare photos of Tatum with his big sister True Thompson, 5. Khloe, who shares both her children with her ex Tristan Thompson, wrote out a lengthy and heartfelt message to her baby boy where she compared him to her brother Rob Kardashian, 36.

“Happy birthday, my sweet son! I am a firm believer in that God gives you what you need and I needed you. God knew my heart needed you,” said Khloe, who welcomed her son via surrogate in July 2022. “I needed your sweet and precious Smile. I needed your angelic spirit. I needed a love only you could give me. I needed my son.”

Khloe continued, “I am so proud to be your mommy. So proud of the love and laughter we have in our house. So proud of your beautiful, gentle, loving, infectious spirit. You light up every single room. There’s no denying that Everyone smiles when they look at you! Especially True. she is so proud to call you hers.”

The Hulu star said that Tatum has changed her and True’s lives “forever,” and called her daughter a “fantastic, loving older sister,” while gushing over their brother-sister bond. The Good American co-founder then mentioned her brother Rob who she’s extremely close with. “You both remind me so much of uncle Bob and I,” she said about her two kids. “It’s fitting since I think you look soooo much like your uncle. (Which means I think you look like my dad too).”

PREMIUM EXCLUSIVE: Khloe Kardashian and Tristan Thompson take daughter True to sister Kim's Paw Patrol premiere as rumors continue about them rekindling their romance. The on-off couple looked happy and relaxed as they joined members of the Kardashian clan for the private screening. Khloe and pro basketball player Tristan were first linked in 2016 when they were spotted spending time together at a nightclub, and they later took a vacation in Mexico. The two confirmed that they were dating that same year and remained very close through much of 2017. The reality television personality eventually confirmed that she was pregnant with the athlete's child that December through a post made to her Instagram account. Kardashian revealed that she was expecting a girl during an episode of Keeping Up With The Kardashians that aired the following year. In 2018, it was reported that Thompson was spotted kissing multiple women in several locations, which surprised the clothing designer. That year, she gave birth to True, and the parents later reconciled following the child's birth. Although the two appeared to be going strong in their new roles as parents, the basketball player, just traded to the Sacramento Kings in California, was later caught cheating with several other women, and the two split up in February of 2019. The pair appeared to mend their relationship over the course of that year and were reportedly on good terms by the beginning of 2020. The parents quarantined together during the early stages of the pandemic, and their romance was eventually resumed last August. Earlier this year, it was reported that the couple was planning on expanding their family in the future, although no solid plans have been revealed as of yet. This past June, it was revealed that Kardashian and Thompson had separated, although they were said to still be on good terms at the time of their split. 12 Aug 2021 Pictured: Tristan Thompson, Khloe Kardashian and daughter True.

“I cannot believe you are already one happy first birthday my sweet sweet baby,” Khloe added towards the end of her post. “You are my SONshine. My only SONshine. You make me happy. Everyday. You’ll never quite know dear. How much I love you. But I’ll do my best and show you everyday. Mommy and TuTu love you our little Armenian Man.”

Since Tatum was born in July 2022, Khloe has gradually shown more glimpses of her son on social media. For example, the mom-of-two shared a video of Tatum crawling across his mom’s floor on July 17, one week before he turned 1. As fans know, Khloe waited to reveal Tatum’s name until the season 3 premiere of The Kardashians which aired on May 25. Khloe admitted on the episode to her friend Malika Haqq that it was “very hard” to come up with a name for her second child.

Khloe co-parents both of her children with Tristan. The former couple’s surrogate got pregnant with Tatum at the same time that Khloe was dealing with yet another Tristan scandal. In Dec. 2021, the NBA star fathered a child with Maralee Nichols, and Khloe didn’t find out until days before the baby was born. Khloe dumped the basketball player and stayed a single woman leading up to Tatum’s birth. Over the past year, Khloe and Tristan have reunited on numerous occasions for their kids, but Khloe’s made it clear that they aren’t getting back together.
