Khloe K shares rare images of son on his first birthday - with a striking resemblance to Tristan Thompson

Khloe Kardashian has had a tough time over the past few months with a skin cancer scare and ex-boyfriend and father of her two children Tristan Thompson losing his mother and having to move back in. 

It’s about time the reality TV star, 39, had something to smile about as she shares a carousel of home photos of her son Tatum on his first birthday. Khloe took to Instagram to share several images of the toddler with his big sister True [TuTu], cousins North Kardashian and Penelope Disick. 

The Kardashian wrote a lengthy caption that read “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. 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.

“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.”

“Tatum, You have changed mine and True’s lives forever. We both needed you. I knew she would be a fantastic, loving older sister, but I don’t think I ever could’ve imagined the love and bond you guys already have. You both remind me so much of uncle Bob and I. It’s fitting since I think you look soooo much like your uncle. (Which means I think you look like my dad too) I cannot believe you are already one happy first birthday my sweet sweet baby.”

She ended the post with a sweet poem and signed off “Mommy and TuTu love you our little Armenian Man.”

Khloe and Tristan had their son Tatum via surrogate and she has shared her struggles with bonding with her son on the latest series of The Kardashians. The Good American founder recently stated that although Tristan has moved back in they are not a couple. 

Tristan and his youngest brother, Amari moved in with Khloe after losing his mother Andrea in January. At the time of Andrea’s death, she was the sole caregiver for Amari who suffers from epilepsy meaning Tristan has now taken on the role as his brother's sole caregiver.

Despite everything between the former couple, Khloe has stepped up as she believes that family is the most important thing in the world and as her children's father Tristan will always be family. 

The pair split after Tristan was accused of cheating on many occasions and had another son with Maralee Nichols but he and Khloe continue to co-parent True and Tatum.
