Kris Jenner recently revealed a deeply emotional experience involving her three-year-old grandson, Tatum, during a family gathering at Kylie Jenner's home.

Kris remarked, "You have a three-year-old telling you about his conversations with his grandfather... It’s extraordinary."

Khloé Kardashian has also noted the similarities between Tatum and Robert, stating, "I swear he’s my dad." This sentiment highlights the family's belief in Tatum's connection to Robert, as they have observed various traits and behaviors that remind them of him.
