Khloé Kardashian is a mom of two!

The Kardashians star's daughter, True Thompson, was born in April 2018. Then, in August 2022, she welcomed her son via surrogate. Kardashian shares both her children with ex Tristan Thompson.

On July 13, 2022, a rep for the reality star confirmed that she and Thompson were expecting their second child together — but noted that the pair were not back together and hadn't spoken since December 2021 outside of co-parenting needs.

Back in December 2018, Kardashian announced that she and the NBA player were expecting their first child together.

"My greatest dream realized," Kardashian wrote on Instagram alongside a black-and-white bump picture. "We are having a baby! I had been waiting and wondering but God had a plan all along. He knew what He was doing. I simply had to trust in Him and be patient."

It wasn't long after True's arrival that the Good American founder revealed she wasn't ruling out having more kids.

"Goodness I don't know! I love [True] so much and I'm so complete because of her," she wrote on Twitter in response to a fan. "I could only imagine another one would make me feel even more complete, but I just don't know. I guess only time will tell and whatever God wants for me."

The former Revenge Body host publicly discussed looking into surrogacy options in June 2021, around when she and Thompson called it quits. She revealed that she "did have [a surrogate] and then it fell through."

In March 2023, despite their tumultuous past, Kardashian wished Thompson a happy 32nd birthday on Instagram.

"You are truly the best father, brother & uncle. Your love, attention, silly dances, hugs, carpool rides, bed time rituals, the way u show up for them. All of the above means more than you'll ever know to your family of littles," she captioned several images of the basketball star with his kids and family members. "Happy birthday baby daddy."

From her firstborn's birth to her son's arrival, here's everything to know about Khloé Kardashian's two kids.

True was born in Cleveland, Ohio, on April 12, 2018, days after news broke that Thompson had allegedly been unfaithful to Kardashian.

The idea for the baby's name was initially a suggestion from Kardashian's grandmother, Mary Jo "M.J." Houghton.

"She told me it was my great-grandfather's first name and my grandfather's middle name. It stuck with me for my entire pregnancy and was the only one I couldn't get out of my head," the Good American founder recalled. "I love that it's a family name and I can't wait to get back to LA so True can finally meet MJ in person!"

But her name isn't the only thing True has inherited from her family. Kardashian says her daughter is already following in her footsteps in the organization department.

"I am incredibly clean and organized. I like everything in its place, I'm very regimented. And I don't want that for True, but she already has so much of that," she shared in November 2021 during a "Mom Confessions" segment on The Ellen DeGeneres Show. "I feel bad that she has so much of it so young, but every toy has to be put back exactly where she got it from."

True also takes after her mother when it comes to her fashion sense. Kardashian and her daughter love making memories together while wearing matching outfits, from glam party looks to bathing suits and even pajamas.

True is already developing a fashion sense of her own, with her mom documenting her looks on Instagram. Shortly after becoming a big sister, Kardashian shared a photo series of her fashionista daughter wearing a pink denim mini skirt paired with a matching tank top and light pink Crocs. Of course, she completed the look with heart-eye pink sunglasses and a custom mini Louis Vuitton purse with her name and Sesame Street's Abby Cadabby painted on it.

Amid the COVID-19 pandemic, Kardashian shared how grateful she was feeling about being able to spend more time with her daughter: "Now I feel like I've kinda found my rhythm — this is my new normal — and I am really appreciating the reset button and all the time that I do get to spend with [True]. I try to find the positive in anything, and with all the negative, there's also a lot of positive as well."

"You put somebody else way before your needs and I think it gives you a different drive in life. [True has] definitely made me softer," she added.

Despite motherhood making her "softer," Kardashian has no issue with sharing her thoughts on the "unsolicited commentary" she has received about her daughter.

"People give unsolicited commentary no matter what you do. So I try and keep True stuff as clear and simple as I can for her sake," she told Cosmopolitan UK in December 2021. "I've learned that you can't just post anything because people will comment and say the craziest things!"

Despite the ups and downs between Kardashian and Thompson over the years, the former Cleveland Cavaliers player has remained an active part of True's life. "The focus is on True and they have the same goals for her," a source told PEOPLE in April 2022. "They want her to have the happiest childhood possible."

True turned 4 years old in April 2022. Thompson couldn't attend her birthday party due to a basketball game, so he had a present delivered to Kardashian's house. The gift, a diamond necklace, was estimated to cost $25,000.

In October, Kardashian, True and Rob Kardashian's daughter Dream attended Haunt O' Ween in Los Angeles. In her Instagram Story, the Good American founder showed off the trio's coordinated cat-inspired looks for the evening, which included face paint. "@pro.facepainting for me and my girlie kittens," Khloé wrote on top of a video of her and True showing off their feline-forward makeup.

Later that week, Kardashian posted photos on Instagram in which she and True dressed in matching costumes inspired by their family cat, Grey Kitty. The reality star joked about the outfits in her caption, writing, "I know…. I know…. A cat?! For Halloween 🐈‍⬛ 🎃Ground breaking."

On Dec. 20, 2022, Kardashian shared that True hit a major milestone on her Instagram Story. "She lost her first tooth," the mom of two wrote over a video of True singing, "I lost my tooth, I lost my tooth."

On July 13, 2022, a rep for Kardashian confirmed to PEOPLE that she was expecting her second child with Thompson via surrogate. "We can confirm True will have a sibling who was conceived in November," the rep shared. "Khloé is incredibly grateful to the extraordinary surrogate for such a beautiful blessing. We'd like to ask for kindness and privacy so that Khloe can focus on her family."

A source told PEOPLE, "The baby was conceived via surrogate before it was revealed to Khloé and the public that Tristan was having a baby with someone else in December."

On Aug. 5, 2022, PEOPLE confirmed that Kardashian and Thompson's baby boy had arrived. A source told PEOPLE that Kardashian was on "cloud nine" and taking her time in choosing a moniker for the new arrival.

"Khloé hasn't shared a name yet," the source said. "She is taking her time with the name. She wants it to be just right."

In September 2022, Kardashian shared details on her son's name in the season 2 premiere of The Kardashians. "It's going to start with a T," she said in the episode. "I mean, that's really the only names I've been looking at."

Soon after the boy's birth, The Kardashians star opened up to Elle about becoming a mom of two.

"I know it's cliché, but I love everything, even the hard parts," Kardashian said of having two children. The Good American founder said her two little ones "challenge me as a person," adding that "being able to shape little people into really incredible big people is an honor and a gift."

During the season 2 premiere of The Kardashians on Hulu, the reality star also gave a look into her son's birth. Her sister Kim captured the sweet moments at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles, in lieu of a camera crew.

"He looks just like True," Kim can be heard yelling, as the surrogate brought Kardashian's second child into the world.

While Kardashian had been on the fence about allowing Thompson to even visit the hospital for the birth of his son, it was revealed in the episode that the basketball player was present for the big day.

"Ever since December, it's been this dark cloud looming over me. Every single day, I've been feeling depressed and sad, and now that my son is here, I get to move on, and I get to enjoy. It's almost like I get to close that chapter and be done with this trauma and put it behind me," she said in a confessional.

In October 2022, Kardashian opened up about her experience having her son through surrogacy. She said she was inspired by her sister Kim, who welcomed two children with the help of a surrogate. "If it wasn't for Kimberly, I definitely don't think I would have been as comfortable," Khloé told Kelly Clarkson on her daytime talk show. "I wouldn't have been aware, I wouldn't have known as much."

Still, the Good American founder noted that her experience was "very different" than her sister's. "I think her journey was way more ... it was just more comfortable for her," the reality star added. "I'm such a control freak."

"You're a stranger, I just have to trust you," Kardashian continued. "I love my surrogate, she was amazing. But I'm still like, 'I need you sitting next to me all the time. What are you doing? What are you eating?' "

In October 2022, Kardashian shared the first public photos of her son in a sweet Halloween post on Instagram. In the first image, big sister True smiled as she held up her baby brother, who is dressed in a fuzzy Tigger costume. Kardashian also included a close-up of her son's Nike high tops.

"Owlette and Tigger aka True and Baby Brother," the mom of two wrote in the caption, adding "(Shhhhh…. But I can't wait for Halloween to be over)."

On Dec. 26, 2022, the reality star shared a photo on Instagram of herself and her two kids in front of a Christmas tree. While Kardashian had previously taken care to hide her son's face on Instagram, one snap in the carousel post showed the boy looking up at Kardashian, providing a peek at his nose and eyes.
