As doctors encouraged the woman to continue pushing harder, Kim flashed the camera to Khloé, who pulled her mask down and put her hands to her face. Just a few seconds later, her newborn son made his arrival with a little cry.
“He looks just like True!” Kim can be heard yelling in the video, referencing Khloé and Tristan’s 4-year-old daughter,True Thompson.

In a confessional, Khloé said of the happy moment: “I am so grateful. It’s such a beautiful gift that we’re able to have.”
“Now I finally get to start the healing process. Now I get to start enjoying my life with two kids in it and figuring this out,” she added. “This is gonna be day one, and this is gonna be the start of something positive, and happy and beautiful.”
Due to COVID, Khloé’s loved ones were unable to come to the hospital so the Good American founder FaceTimed her loved ones (including True, momKris Jennerand sistersKylie JennerandKourtney Kardashian) and introduced her son for the very first time.
Per the suggestion of Kim, Khloé also allowed Tristan into the hospital to meet his son, despite the ongoing drama between them.
“I’ve been on the fence about letting Tristan come to the hospital or not, but Tristan wants to be here so I just figured, why not let him come? I’ll never get this moment back,” she said in a confessional.

Earlier during the episode, fans saw Khloé privately struggling with the fallout of Thompson’s infidelity while fiercely protecting the news around her surrogate’s pregnancy.
“I’m very scared,” she added. “It’s very scary. I think I’m emotionally equipped but … I have to brace myself for when this goes public because everyone is so mean … and you want to protect this innocent being who had nothing to do with this.”
Meanwhile, Khloé’s family expressed their disappointment in Tristan and continued to rally around her.

Kris, 66, shared similar sentiments during a separate conversation with Khloé, telling her daughter through tears, “I feel like you’re a little numb, it’s a lot, and my emotion comes from wishing you would enjoy it more… this is supposed to be one of the happiest times in your life. If you don’t appreciate those moments, you can’t get them back. The older I get, the more I realize how precious these times are, and I just want you to embrace it.”
“I just feel bad for her that the joy was kinda sucked out of it again,” she added in a confessional, referencing Tristan’sother cheating scandal, which surfaced days before True was born.

Though fans got a glimpse of Khloé’s new son, they’ll unfortunately have towait a bit longer to learn his name.
In the final moments of the episode, while taking her son home, Khloé lovingly stared over at him in his car seat and jokingly said, “No name Johnson, over here.”
Khloé did, however, confirm that her son’s name will begin with the letter T, just like his big sister.
