In an interview with the SHE MD podcast, Khole got candid about her experience with surrogacy and said it was a nightmare. Speaking to Mary Alice Haney and Dr Thaïs Aliabadi, who is also her doctor, shared the difficulty in understanding pregnancy without physically carrying the child. Kohle recalled that she did the embryo transfer days before Thompson's cheating came to light. "So it was a couple of days before Thanksgiving and I ended up doing the transfer. And then the first week of December, I found out that my ex was actually having a baby with somebody else," she added.

It took months to connect with her son Tatum: Khloe Kardashian

Opening up about the pregnancy period, Kohle revealed that it was too late to turn back and she had to have a baby with Thompson.  After the incident, the entire pregnancy of her surrogate, she admittedly buried her head in the sand, and told the doctor, 'I can't do this.' She added that during the whole surrogacy pregnancy, she was "really detached". After the birth of her one-year-old son Tatum, Khloe took months to connect with him and still they don't have a "complete bond".
