Khloe Kardashian opened up about guilt surrounding her recent surrogacy.

In a recent episode of The Kardashians, Khloe Kardashian revealed that she struggled with some difficult feelings after her child with Tristan Thompson, Tatum, arrived. She opted for a surrogate to carry her child, a choice her sister Kim has also made in the past. In the new episode, Khloe said that upon arriving to the hospital for the birth of Tatum, she was “definitely was in a state of shock." She continued, revealing that she felt a sense of guilt for taking Tatum away from the surrogate.

Khloe said, “I felt really guilty that this woman just had my baby and I take the baby and I go in another room and we are sort of separated.” In the episode, Khloe additionally shared that she believes surrogacy is a different, but not necessarily bad, option. After keeping baby Tatum's name a secret for almost a year, Khloe opted to share it with the world earlier this month. She had previously given fans hints as to what her youngest child would be called, telling them his name starts with the letter "T."

Khloe Says She Was "In A State Of Shock"

Despite the cheating scandal surrounding Tatum's birth, Khloe and her family have continued to support Tristan Thompson. Following a sweet birthday post she shared for her ex, rumors of the two reuniting were recently sparked. Khloe was quick to set the record straight, claiming that she was simply supporting her family. "Stop pushing this narrative," she wrote on Instagram, "It’s tiring." She added, "But I suppose You guys will continue the narrative you want regardless of what I say so what’s the point. It’s exhausting but I learned people will only understand to the level of their own perception.”

“Most are stuck at believing the lies because it’s the narrative they want to fuel. Have fun…. Some things are just as simple as they seem. A family member supporting another family member ESPECIALLY during a difficult time in life," she explained. Khloe went on to cite her relationship with her sister Kourtney's ex, Scott Disick. "Example….. just how I support scott and will forever support him. He’s my brother. It’s just not on an nba stage. Sad new world, If there’s no photos people think it really didn’t happen but yes, I see Scott often. Some things really are just as they are," Khloe shared.
