    Kris Jenner claims her grandson Tatum "can see" and has conversations with her late husband Robert Kardashian

    The attorney-and-businessman died from esophageal cancer in September 2003 - two months after he was diagnosed at the age of 59 - and even though his daughter Khloe Kardashian's tot was born 19 years after Robert's death, Tatum and his grandfather have an "extraordinary" connection.


    On the latest episode of The Kardashians, Kris - who was married to Robert from 1978 until 1991 - went ghost hunting in her sixth child, Kylie Jenner's "haunted" house with Khloe, 41, and 42-year-old show cast member Scott Disick.

    As the foursome lay in Kylie's bed, Khloe recalled how Tatum, three, out of the blue, started using the term "honey" to address her and Kris - who has Kylie and Kendall Jenner, 30, with her ex Caitlyn Jenner, 76, formerly known as Bruce Jenner.

    Khloe said: "Tatum was like, 'I want to call honey.'"

    Kylie, 28, asked: "Wait, hold on. Tatum calls you honey?"

    Khloe replied: "Tatum calls her honey, and no one has ever told him to call her honey."

    Kris, 70, clarified: "That's what Robert used to call me."

    Khloe remembered: "He said, 'I want to call honey."

    Kris responded: "He said, 'Honey!' and he told me a whole story. He described [Robert] and said he's really funny and that he was crying. And I go, 'Your grandpa was crying? Why was he crying?' And Tatum goes, 'Because he loves you,' and he points to my face."

    After Khloe agreed that it happened and pointed out she was there when it occurred, an emotional Kris said in a confessional that Tatum can connect with Robert.

    Kris - who also has daughters Kourtney Kardashian, 46, Kim Kardashian, 45, and son Rob Kardashian, 38, with her late spouse - shared: "You have a three year old telling you about his conversations with his grandfather, who he's never met. It's extraordinary.

    "And then, he says goodnight to his grandfather sometimes, like he's right in the room. He can see him, but nobody else can. It's interesting, right?"

    On a February episode of The Kardashians, Khloe revealed how similar Tatum - whom she has with her 34-year-old ex-partner, Tristan Thompson - is to Robert.

    The media personality - who also has a daughter called True, seven, with the professional basketball player - said in that episode: "I swear he's my dad. It's so interesting.

    "He calls my mom honey, and my dad used to call my mom honey. No one has asked him to call my mom honey, at least not that I know of."
