And Khloe confirms: “Yes. His name is Tatum. So Tatum and True. Naming a human is really hard.”

Khloe had previously teased fans that her son's name "starts with a T" to match his father and older sister.

In contrast to the secrecy around her son's name, the mum-of-two had her daughter True's name picked out while she was pregnant.

"I knew I wanted my baby to have a ‘T’ initial, so one night while we were all at dinner, thinking of some names, my grandma MJ suggested True," she previously said in a post on her app.

"She told me it was my great-grandfather's first name and my grandfather's middle name.

"It stuck with me for my entire pregnancy and was the only one I couldn't get out of my head."
