'DNA is real': Kris Jenner says Khloe Kardashian's son Tatum is Robert Kardashian Sr's 'spitting image'

LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Kris Jenner described Khloe Kardashian's son Tatum as the "spitting image" of his late grandfather Robert Kardashian.

In Wednesday's episode of 'The Kardashians', Jenner, 68, who was married to the lawyer from 1978 to 1991 and has four children with him, shed tears as she considered the similarities between Tatum, who is 15 months old, and Robert, who died in 2003 at the age of 59.

Kris Jenner says 'Tatum is Robert Kardashian Sr'

She added, "Tatum is Robert Kardashian Sr. He is my ex-husband in a baby form, even his little mannerisms, his little smile, the way he looks at me. I look through those eyes and I see his little soul, and I'm like, "Yup, there he is. The DNA is real."

Tatum and Khloe's father share a similarity, which Khloe has already acknowledged, writing on X last year: "He’s the sweetest most affectionate little man. He really reminds me of my dad and my brother. It’s beautiful."

Robert Kardashian died from esophageal cancer

Robert Kardashian, a defense lawyer who became well-known throughout the world for his role in OJ Simpson's 1995 legal defense, died on September 30, 2003, at the age of 59 from esophageal cancer, as reported by Daily Mail.

Kris Jenner, who was born Kris Houghton, was Robert Kardashian's wife from 1978 until 1991.

Seven years following the divorce decree's finalization, he wed Jan Ashley in 1998; however, the union was annulled thirty days later.

Robert was friends with OJ Simpson 

The Los Angeles native married Ellen Pierson (née Markowitz), his third wife, six weeks before he died, after three years of dating. Robert had been friends with Simpson for many years prior to the court proceedings that resulted in Simpson's acquittal. He was also one of Simpson's attorneys during his highly publicized murder trial.

With her ex, Tristan Thompson, Khloe also has a five-year-old daughter named True. Tristan is also a father to two sons: Prince, age six, and Theo, age 23 months, both with Maralee Nichols, his model ex-girlfriend.
