But as the Good Americans founder explained, she found herself detached from the pregnancy—not only because she was busy with True—but also to help protect her surrogate and their family’s privacy.
“I wasn’t at a ton of the doctor’s appointments while my surrogate was pregnant,” she said, “to protect her privacy. I didn’t want paparazzi finding out and all those things. I would always be on FaceTime.”
Looking back, the first time she met Tatum in the hospital was nerve-racking.
“In my face,” she recalled, “it’s like I was a deer in headlights. I was so scared. I felt like, ‘I can’t believe this is real.'”
That feeling is long gone these days as Khloe is now “obsessed” with her little boy. But one more thing she needed to clear up?
