The Kardashians recently aired the pilot episode of its season 3, which featured Khloe Kardashian’s newborn baby, Tatum, and focused on her journey welcoming him via surrogacy. During the episode that aired on Thursday, May 25, she opened up about struggling to connect with the baby and even called the progress a “mindf*ck.”

She was backed up by sister Kim Kardashian, who stated that having a baby via a surrogate is different than birthing it, adding that there is a difference when the baby is in your belly and can feel your real heart. She continued:

"Think about it. It touches your organs. There’s no one else on this planet that will feel you from the inside like that."

Fans chimed in about Khloe’s struggles on social media; while some did not agree with the sister’s thought process about surrogacy, they regardless showed her ample support online. Many further blamed Khloe's ex-boyfriend and the father of her two children, Tristan Thompson, for ruining her experience, adding that it is indeed sad that she can’t connect with Tatum.


"It's the Tristan situation making her feel this way": Fans blame Tristan for Khloe’s struggles in The Kardashians season 3

In the premiere epiosde of The Kardashians season 3, fans finally got to know Khloe Kardashian’s baby boy’s name. She named her son Tatum because she wanted him to share the initial 'T' with his elder sister, True, and father Tristan.

Season 2 of the Hulu show saw Khloe finding out about Tristan impregnating another woman soon after receiving news that her surrogate had conceived Tatum. The news broke her heart and things got tougher for her over the year as she battled health issues, including melanoma.

Fans took to social media to show their support after The Kardashians season 3 episode 1 aired, which saw the reality star-entrepreneur opening up about her struggles regarding connecting with the baby after bringing him home. Fans believe that Tristan’s infidelity plays a huge part in how her bond with Tatum is affected. They stated that while a lot of women feel a little disconnected with the babies they welcome via surrogate, “the Tristan situation” adds to why she’s feeling this particular way.

Fans further added that they thought she was going to name him “Tristan junior” and added that she shouldn’t have had another baby with Tristan, which was fueled by the desperation to have “the same baby daddy,” calling the situation “tragic.” One person wrote that a break up with the baby's father as he has a child with another woman in the middle of a surrogacy would make the bonding process harder.
