Khloe Kardashian can always depend on Kylie Jenner.

The Kardashians star—who shares kids True Thompson, 7, and Tatum Thompson, 3, with ex Tristan Thompson—revealed her youngest sister played a major role in helping her through the NBA player’s past paternity scandal, noting that the beauty mogul illuminated a key silver lining amid the drama.

“Kylie is really one of the main reasons why I felt so safe and comfortable having Tatum,” Khloe said on the Nov. 12 episode of her Khloe in Wonderland podcast, which featured her sister as a guest. “Kylie was like, ‘Come on! Aire [Webster] is six months older than Tatum.’”

Indeed, Kylie—who shares Aire, 3, as well as Stormi Webster, 7, with ex Travis Scott—proved to be the ultimate shoulder to lean on for Khloe, 41, who also dealt with Tristan’s alleged infidelity while preparing to give birth to True in 2018.

“When I was crying and like, ‘Why is this happening? I can't believe it's happening a second time,’” Khloe continued, “you were like, ‘But God makes no mistakes, and this was supposed to happen. And now our sons get to grow up together.’”

And Kylie, 28, was quick to point out that she was right about the cousins bonding from a young age.

“They're so cute, and we have to keep them nice and sensitive,” she shared. “I just sent Khloe a video two days ago. They went to Disneyland and they were in the cart holding hands.”

Aire and Tatum’s closeness seems to be a reflection of their moms’ own relationship, as the sisters have shared several major life moments together over the years—including becoming parents.

“I don't think we ever expected to be pregnant together at the same time. In a million years,” Kylie recalled. “Going from you helping me count my birthday on my fingers to being pregnant together. So I think that we embraced it.”

The Kardashian-Jenner clan has certainly embraced expanding their family. To see all of their kids’ cutest moments, read on.
