Kris Jenner is opening up about her grandson’s “extraordinary” connection with her late husband.
On the latest episode of The Kardashians, which dropped on Thursday, Dec. 18, the famous momager, 70, visits Kylie Jenner’s “haunted” house alongside Khloé Kardashian and Scott Disick to see if they can find any ghosts. As they lay in Kylie’s bed, the foursome starts talking about the uncanny connection that Khloé’s son, Tatum, has with his late grandfather, Robert Kardashian Sr.
“Tatum was like, ‘I want to call honey,’ ” Khloé, 41, remembers before Kylie, 28, asks, “Wait, hold on. Tatum calls you honey?”
“Tatum calls her honey and no one has ever told him to call her honey,” Khloé says. Kris then clarifies, “That’s what Robert used to call me.”
“He said, ‘I want to call honey,’ ” Khloé remembers.
“He said, ‘Honey!’ and he told me a whole story,” Kris says. “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.”

Khloé agrees that it happened and insists she was right there when it occurred.
In a confessional, Kris gets a little emotional as she shares that her grandson seems to be able to connect with Robert, who died at 59 in September 2003.
“You have a 3-year-old telling you about his conversations with his grandfather, who he’s never met. It’s extraordinary,” says Kris. “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?”
Back in February, Khloé first shared that her son calls Kris — who goes by “Lovey” to her other grandkids — by the nickname her late husband used.
On a February episode of The Kardashians, the Good American co-founder revealed how similar Tatum is to her father.
“I swear he’s my dad,” she said in the episode. “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.”
Khloé shares Tatum and her daughter, True, with ex Tristan Thompson.
