Khloe Kardashian says nephew Saint, eight, has a ‘connection’ with her son Tatum, two, that ‘can’t be explained’

Khloe Kardashian called her nephew Saint West, eight, the ‘sweetest’ as she gushed about his ‘connection’ with her two-year-old son Tatum.

On Tuesday, the reality TV star, 40 — who recently wowed in a bikini — shared a sweet throwback snap of the cousins to her Instagram.

Seemingly taken this past Easter holiday, Tatum was captured hugging Saint from behind as they drew pictures of Easter eggs, chicks and bunnies in Khloe’s living room.

‘I was going through my camera roll and I came across this photo of Saint and Tatum,’ Khloe wrote in the post’s caption.

‘Saint is the absolute sweetest when it comes to babies, but his connection to Tatum is one that can’t be explained.

‘Saint is the absolute sweetest when it comes to babies, but his connection to Tatum is one that can’t be explained,’ she wrote on Instagram Tuesday. Saint’s mom Kim also chimed in

‘They were destined to be in one another’s lives! Proud auntie! Proud mommy!’ the Good American founder added.

Saint is the second oldest of Khloe’s sister Kim Kardashian and ex-husband Kanye West’s four kids.

And the SKIMS founder gushed over Saint and Tatum’s cousin ‘connection’ in the comment section of Khloe’s IG post.

‘Sainty loves Tatum so much! We all do,’ Kim wrote.

Khloe’s close friend chimed in, writing: ‘Saint is a saint to the babies. And well baby Tatum, no words.’

And the mother-of-two responded, ‘@malika Saint really is the BEST to the youngins! I love you Mika.’

Khloe shares baby Tatum as well as six-year-old daughter True with ex-boyfriend and NBA star Tristan Thompson, 33.

Tatum was born via surrogate in July 2022 following his father’s infamous paternity scandal that DailyMail.com exclusively revealed in December 2021.

The couple had already gone through with an embryo transfer when Khloe learned that Tristan had secretly fathered a child with fitness model Maralee Nichols.

Despite multiple cheating scandals over the course of their six year relationship, Khloe has continued to claim that Tristan is an ‘incredible father’ to their two children.

‘He did make mistakes,’ she told SHE MD in May, ‘He’s the nicest guy and we get along so well now.’

‘We’re not meant to be together, but he was meant to be the father of these kids. And we do get along so well and I’m really grateful for that because my parents got along so well,’ she told hosts Dr. Thais Aliabadi and Mary Alice Haney.

Khloe previously said that she has no intentions of getting back together with the athlete, even going as far as to say that she’s ‘not attracted‘ to him anymore.

The co-parents recently celebrated a major milestone for their six-year-old daughter.

Last week, True started the first grade and mom Khloe shared a heartfelt tribute on her first day.

The proud mom posted pics of True in her school uniform of a white blouse and blue plaid skirt.

Khloe set up her usual elaborate photo background to mark the occasion with pastel-colored balloons and giant crayons.

‘First Grade!!! True I am so proud of you!! I know you’re going to have the most incredible year ahead of you! I couldn’t be happier for you my angel,’ her caption began.

‘I’m not ok but I’ll pull it together by pick up time,’ she promised.

Tristan also shared photos of his daughter in front of the same background.

In the photos the elementary school student held a grey cat in one photo and posed with her brother Tatum, two, in others.

‘Twinny first day of 1st grade,’ Thompson wrote. ‘Time flies my wow! I know Gigi’s looking down on you and she is sooo proud of you and how amazing you are and how you’re the best big sister. I love you Tutu.’

True also posed with each emotional parent as the family celebrated this milestone in her life.
