The exact first name that Tatum had initially was not confirmed by the site. At the time of Tatum's birth via surrogate, Khloe's relationship with Tristan Thompson, Tatum's cheating father, was strained, as widely reported. It was revealed that Tristan got another woman, Maralee Nichols, pregnant after Khloe and Tristan had already decided to use a surrogate to carry Tatum.
Recently, Khloe opened up about her difficulty in connecting with her newborn son, Tatum, three months after his birth via surrogate. She discussed her struggles on Hulu's show "The Kardashians." While her sisters Kim, Kourtney, and Kendall were busy with their own engagements, Khloe found herself back home in Los Angeles, taking care of Tatum. In the third episode of Season 3, titled "Everything Is My Fault!", Khloe's mother, Kris Jenner, paid her a visit.

Although she loved Tatum and children in general, she acknowledged that the complete bond was still developing. Kris consoled Khloe, reminding her that she had been through a lot and that she needed to give herself credit and not be too critical.
