Khloe Kardashian has finally revealed her son's name, having kept it a secret for 10 months.
The 38-year-old Good American founder had been following in the footsteps of her sister Kylie Jenner and kept the name of her second baby to herself.
However, Khloe announced she has named her baby Tatum during the first episode of season three of The Kardashians.
The moniker means "cheerful" and "full of spirit" and can be used for both boys and girls. The name also suggests happiness, positivity and a zest for life.
Breaking the news during the show, Khloe said: "His name is Tatum. So Tatum and True," before admitting: "Naming a human is really hard."
