Khloe Kardashian has admitted that the bond she has with her surrogate-born son, Tatum, is 'very different' to the 'connection' she shares with her daughter, True.
Last July, the 38-year-old welcomed her second child into the world via surrogacy.
The Kardashian shares Tatum with her ex, Tristan Thompson, 32, as well as her five-year-old daughter, True.

However, on a recent episode of Hulu’s The Kardashians, the businesswoman revealed that she still didn’t 'have that complete bond' with her son.
When the episode of the reality TV show was shot, Tatum was three months old.
At the time, Khloe revealed to Kris Jenner, 67, that she felt 'guilty' about their current 'connection'.
She stated: “When you compare it between True and him, it's a very different experience, the connection.
“With True, it took me a couple of days, to be like, 'OK, this is my daughter and I was super into it,' but just days,” she continued.
“With him, it's taking me months. I love him and I love kids, but I definitely still don't have that complete bond, but so many people say it takes time.”
During the confession, Khloe revealed that she wished she wasn’t, 'so critical of myself because I'm very kind to everyone else, I'm just not kind to myself.'
Jenner then offered her a bout of support before she called her daughter the 'mum of the year'.
“[You’re] always feeding someone or entertaining someone or doting on your kids. You're the most attentive person to all of us,” she said.
Her daughter then admitted that 'being a mom is truly one of the most magical experiences ever.'
Kardashian co-parents with Thomspon, but stated earlier in the episode that she has no plans to get 'back with him'.
She said: “We always get along great. Him and I have a great friendship-relationship, we get along fine and for my kids, I will put anything to the side.
“What's done is done, so what would I still be holding on to something for? I don't need to 'punish him' because I'm not getting back with him.”
She then went on to explain to Jenner that there are 'boundaries' that the former couple share.
“And if I'm not here and not around, he's here and I would rather him be here than a nanny,” Kardashian said.
“I mean, there are still boundaries. Like, I've definitely put my foot down around a lot of things. Like, no one is just here chilling if there are no kids involved.”
