Khloe Kardashian is opening up about her bonding experience with her son, Tatum.

The Good American founder—who welcomed her baby and ex Tristan Thompson's baby boy via surrogate last summer—recently got candid about how the experience surrounding Tatum's arrival differed from that of their daughter True, 5.

"When you compare it, between True and him, it's a very different experience," Khloe told mom Kris Jenner during the June 8 episode of The Kardashians. "Like, the connection."

As the reality star explained, she was still getting adjusted to life as a mom of two.

"Like with True, it took me a couple days to be like, 'Okay, this is my daughter,' and I was super into it—but just days," she continued. "But with him, it's taken me, like, months. I love him and I love kids, but I definitely still don't have that complete bond. But you know, so many say it takes time."

Kris couldn't agree with the latter sentiment, noting that she thinks her daughter should give herself grace.

"I think that for you, you've been through a lot," the momager explained. "Your emotions are spent on trying to deal with trauma and all the stuff that you've been through, and I think that you have to remember that. I mean, you have to give yourself a little bit of credit."
