Khloe Kardashian says bonding with son Tatum got 'easier' after feeling 'less connected'

Khloé Kardashian said she was finding it "easier" to bond with her son Tatum Thompson in the latest episode of The Kardashians, after previously suggesting she felt "less connected".

The reality TV star, 38, shared an update about her relationship with her newborn son Tatum, now 10 months old, on the episode of The Kardashians that was released this week.

She spoke about her two children - whom she shares with Tristan Thompson - in the episode, which saw some of the family head to Italy for a Dolce & Gabbana fashion show.

Khloé suggested that she was missing her children whilst out in Milan for the presentation, which involved her sister Kim Kardashian collaborating with the fashion house.

Khloé checked up on her daughter True Thompson, now five, whilst travelling in the city. She was seen on the phone to her daughter and her niece Dream Kardashian.

Discussing being away from her two kids, Khloé commented in a confessional during the latest episode: "I definitely ... have my [fear of missing out] ... of being at home."

She further stated: "I have two little humans to miss and freak out about." Khloé then shared an update about Tatum, saying: "Bonding with the baby has definitely gotten easier."

The entrepreneur continued by commenting on the bond that her two kids have with each other. She told viewers in the confessional: "I love True's relationship with him."

Seemingly discussing being away, Khloé added: "This is gonna be hard but 'travel Khloé' is always fun. I'm just worried about having a good time and bringing good energy."

Her latest remarks come after she has spoken about her son Tatum, who was born via a surrogate last July, in recent episodes of the show, including having discussed their bond.

She told her mother Kris Jenner in a scene during last week's episode that the bonding experience has been different with her son than it was with her daughter in 2018.

Asked about the surrogacy process, Khloé said: "When you compare it, between True and [Tatum], it's a very different ... experience." She added: "The connection."

She went on to say: "Like with True, it took me a couple days to be like 'okay, this is my daughter' and I was super into it, but just days. But with [Tatum], it's taken me months."

Khloé further commented at the time: "I love him and I love kids, but it definitely ... I still don't have that complete bond. But you know, so many people say it takes time."

She had previously revealed that she found the surrogacy process "really hard" and had seemingly agreed when pal Scott Disick asked if she felt "less connected" to her son.

During a conversation, her sister Kim had remarked: "I do think that there is a difference when the baby is in your belly. The baby actually feels your real heart. Think about it".

Khloé said in a confessional that she hadn't "really registered" the pregnancy until Tatum's birth, after having "buried [her] head in the sand" during the pregnancy.

She said: "It has nothing to do with the baby. It's just you're like 'okay we're having a baby and this is my son and I'm taking him home with me'. I definitely was in a state of shock I think from my entire experience in general.

"I felt really guilty that this woman had just had my baby and I take the baby and then I go to another room and you're sort of separated.

"I felt it's such a transactional experience cause it's not about him. I wish someone was honest about surrogacy and the difference of it, but it doesn't mean it's bad, it's still great, it's just very different."
