You know when you've had that bit too much pasta and your stomach expands (what feels like) about eight inches.

Sometimes when this happens, you can't help but stand in the mirror, rubbing your belly thinking 'so, this is kind of what it was like to be Kylie Jenner these last nine months'?

Right? Nope. Just us, then…

Well, while the image of us cradling our food babies might not be the most adorable of sights, we can assure you that when it's Tristan Thompson affectionately touching his girlfriend Khloé Karadshian's growing baby bump, it's a whole other story.

During the 2018 NBA All-Star Weekend event on Saturday, the 26-year-old basketball player couldn't take his eyes - or hands - of his reality star girlfriend's baby bump.

Standing in front of balloons spelling out the words 'I <3 U', the soon-to-be mother captioned the snap: 'When a woman is loved correctly, she becomes ten times the woman she was before' Thank you my love.'

Khloé and Tristan have been dating for over a year with the sportsman being describes as incredibly caring towards Khloé.

'Tristan was very attentive to Khloe,' a source told E! News exclusively about the pair's night out on Saturday.

'Khloe was smiling ear-to-ear all night while mingling with the other guys. Tristan was rubbing her belly throughout the night too. They held hands a lot all through dinner. They appeared to be very much in love and looked happy.'

Too adorable.
