Kris Jenner is sharing a deeply emotional family moment involving her three-year-old grandson, Tatum, that left even her surprised.
On the latest episode of The Kardashians, the 70-year-old matriarch reflected on what she described as an “extraordinary” connection between Tatum and her late ex-husband, Robert Kardashian Sr., who passed away in 2003.
The conversation unfolded during a visit to Kylie Jenner’s home, which the family jokingly referred to as “haunted.” While lying in bed together, Kris, Khloe Kardashian, Kylie Jenner, and Scott Disick began swapping stories that quickly turned serious when Khloe recalled a moment involving her youngest child.
“Tatum was like, ‘I want to call honey,’” Khloe remembered. When Kylie asked for clarification, Khloe explained, “Tatum calls her honey and no one has ever told him to call her honey.” Kris then added context that stunned everyone, “That’s what Robert used to call me.”
Kris went on to describe a moment that still gives her chills. “He said, ‘Honey!’ and he told me a whole story,” she shared. “He described [Robert] and said he’s really funny and that he was crying.”
When Kris asked why, Tatum’s answer was simple, “‘Because he loves you,’ and he points to my face.” Khloe confirmed she was present when the exchange happened.
During her confessional moment, Kris became visibly emotional as she tried to process what it all means.
“You have a 3-year-old telling you about his conversations with his grandfather, who he’s never met. It’s extraordinary,” she said. “And then, he says goodnight to his grandfather sometimes, like he’s right in the room. He can see him, but nobody else can. It’s interesting, right?”
This isn’t the first time the family has noticed similarities. Earlier this year, Khloe shared that Tatum reminds her strongly of her father. “I swear he’s my dad,” she said at the time. “It’s so interesting.”
Khloe shares Tatum and daughter True with ex Tristan Thompson.
