Khloé Kardashian's son Tatum is a total dead ringer for his uncle Rob. The two-year-old basically time-traveled back to the late '80s in a new photo because he looks exactly like Rob Kardashian.
In the pic, Tatum poses sweetly in his uncle's childhood Boy Scouts hat, grinning at the camera in a flannel shirt, cargo pants, and boots, with the gold and blue hat placed atop his curls. “Fun fact- this is my brothers [sic] Boy Scouts hat,” Khloé wrote in her caption, adding #BabyRob and #twins to really drive home the lookalike factor. Friends and fans quickly hopped into the comments to gush over the toddler's extreme cuteness — and how much he looks like both his uncle Rob.

Earlier this year, Khloé Kardashian had the internet buzzing when she told a podcast that she thought Rob could have been the father of her son — yes, really. Tatum was born via surrogate, and his resemblance to Rob had Khloé wondering if the sperm samples had gotten mixed up.
“My son looks just like my brother, and my brother is one of my favorite people,” she explained. “Because he’s an IVF baby or a surrogate baby, I was like: ‘Rob, did you ever donate sperm somewhere?’” Tatum's father is Tristan Thompson, with whom Khloé also shares daughter True. She explained that she "made Tristan do three DNA tests for Tatum; he was so offended. And I’m like: ‘But he doesn’t look like you!’” Khloé was obviously joking, but tests revealed that Thompson was Tatum's father. The Kardashian genes just won out this time!
The family has also noted that little Tatum bears a striking resemblance to his maternal grandfather, the late Robert Kardashian, Sr. It came up in an episode of The Kardashians from 2023, when matriarch Kris Jenner was hanging out with Khloé and Tatum. She told her daughter that the boy was the “spitting image of your dad and brother" and said it was “freaking [her] out.” Jenner then shared, "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.'”
