Kris Jenner says Khloe Kardashian’s son Tatum is ‘spitting image’ of Robert Kardashian: ‘The DNA is real!’

 

Kris Jenner has said Khloe Kardashian’s son Tatum is the ‘spitting image’ of his late grandfather Robert Kardashian.

Jenner, 68, who was wed to the lawyer from 1978-1991 and shares four children with him, was emotional on Wednesday’s episode of The Kardashians as she reflected on the likenesses between Tatum, 15 months and Robert, who died aged 59 in 2003.

Branding Tatum a ‘spitting image of your dad and brother [Rob Kardashian, 36]’, Jenner added: ‘It’s freaking me out.’

 

 

 

She added: ‘Tatum is Robert Kardashian Sr. He is my ex-husband in a baby form, even his little mannerisms, his little smile, the way he looks at me.

‘I look through those eyes and I see his little soul, and I’m like, “Yup, there he is. The DNA is real.”’

Khloe has previously acknowledged the resemblance between Tatum and her father, writing on X last year: ‘He’s the sweetest most affectionate little man. He really reminds me of my dad and my brother. It’s beautiful.’

Robert Kardashian, a defense attorney who gained worldwide recognition for being apart of the legal defense team of O.J. Simpson in 1995, died from esophageal cancer at age 59 on September 30, 2003.

Robert Kardashian was married to his children’s mother, Kris Jenner (born Kris Houghton) from 1978 until 1991.

In 1998, seven years after the divorce was finalized, he married Jan Ashley; however, the marriage ended in annulment 30 days later.

After dating for three years, the Los Angeles native married his third wife, Ellen Pierson (née Markowitz), six weeks prior to his death.

 

Robert had not only been one of the lawyers for Simpson during his widely publicized murder trial, he had also been his friend for many years before the court proceedings, which ended with an acquittal for the former football great.

Khloe shares Tatum and daughter True, five, with ex Tristan Thompson.

Tristan also has sons Theo, 23 months with Maralee Nichols, and Prince, six, with model ex-girlfriend Jordan Craig.
