Rob Kardashian Adorably Teases Nephew Tatum About His 'Chubby Cheeks' at Dream's Birthday Bash

Rob Kardashian shares a unique bond with his nephew, Tatum Thompson. "Adorable chubby cheeks," exclaimed Rob, aged 36, in an Instagram Story video posted by his sister, Khloé Kardashian, on Friday, November 10.

At Rob's daughter Dream's birthday celebration, Khloé captured a charming moment on social media. Her 15-month-old son, Tatum, joyfully played in a ball pit as he glanced up at the approaching figure of his beloved uncle. Khloé affectionately encouraged her son, saying, "Say, 'Uncle Bob.'" Responding with warmth, Rob greeted Tatum with multiple cheerful hellos.

Khloé and Thompson, who are both 32 years old, had their second child together in July 2022 through a surrogate. They also have a daughter named True, who is 5 years old. Additionally, Thompson has a son named Prince, aged 6, with Jordan Craig, and another son named Theo, who is 22 months old, with Maralee Nichols.

After Tatum was born, several members of Khloé's family mentioned that he strongly resembles Rob and their deceased father, Robert Kardashian.

In a confessional during the November 9 episode of The Kardashians, Kris Jenner jokingly remarked, "Tatum is like a baby version of my ex-husband, Robert Kardashian Sr.," as she observed his mannerisms, smile, and the way he looks at her. Adding to this sentiment, Kris reflected, "When I look into Tatum's eyes, I can see his little soul, and it's undeniable that the DNA is real."

Kim Kardashian, 43, expressed her amazement at the family resemblance between Khloé and herself by exclaiming, "I just can't handle it!!!!! You with Tristan Jr & Rob Jr" in an Instagram comment in August. She was referring to a photo of the Good American designer with her children True and Tatum.

A month later, Khloé expressed her admiration for how Tatum reminds her of her late brother and father, stating that it is a beautiful resemblance. Khloé had a close bond with Robert before his passing in 2003, and she continues to maintain a strong relationship with Rob.

In March 2021, Khloé conveyed her deep connection with Tatum through an Instagram post, referring to them as her best friend since birth. She affectionately assured Tatum that their friendship will endure forever, across lifetimes. Khloé expressed her gratitude for being Tatum's sister and emphasized her unwavering support and willingness to do anything for them, solidifying their special bond as best friends.

Khloé has developed a close relationship with her niece, Dream, who is the daughter of her brother, Rob, and his ex-fiancée, Blac Chyna. Khloé frequently assists in raising Dream and considers their bond to be very special. In a July Instagram post, Khloé clarified her previous statement about feeling like a "third parent" to Dream, emphasizing that she spends a lot of time with her brother and, as a result, is often with Dream. Khloé deeply loves her niece and cherishes their close connection.
