The reality star celebrated her son’s milestone, born via surrogate with ex Tristan Thompson, with a heartfelt message and photos.

Khloe Kardashian delighted fans by sharing rare glimpses of her son, Tatum, as she celebrated his first birthday. The Kardashians star, 39, welcomed Tatum through a surrogate with her ex-boyfriend, Tristan Thompson, on July 28, 2022. The former couple also share a five-year-old daughter, True.

In a touching Instagram post on Friday, the Good American co-founder posted several pictures of her son, accompanied by a heartfelt caption expressing her deep bond with him. “God knew my heart needed you,” Kardashian wrote. “I needed your sweet smile, your angelic spirit, and the unique love that only you could bring into my life. I’m beyond proud to be your mother.”

Reflecting on their family dynamics, Kardashian continued, “You have brought so much love and laughter into our home. Everyone is drawn to your joyful presence, especially True—she adores being your big sister.” She also noted how Tatum’s bond with his sister reminded her of her own close relationship with their late uncle Bob.

The reality star concluded the tribute with a mix of nostalgia and love, stating, “I can’t believe you’re already one. Happy first birthday, my sweet, sweet baby.” She playfully modified the lyrics of You Are My Sunshine to son-shine in his honour.

Kardashian’s post drew supportive comments from close friends. Actress Malika Haqq wrote, “Happy Birthday Tatum,” while fellow reality star La La Anthony added, “Tatum!!! Happy birthday handsome boy. You’re the sweetest!” followed by a series of affectionate emojis.
