Childhood & Early Life

Khloe Alexandra Kardashian was born on June 27, 1984, in Los Angeles, California, to Robert and Kris Kardashian. Her father was a famous lawyer who defended footballer OJ Simpson during his much-talked-about trial of his wife’s murder.

Robert and Kris had three girls and a boy of which Khloe was the second youngest child. Her parents divorced and her mother went on to marry decathlon Olympic gold medalist Bruce, who had four children from his previous marriage. Kris and Bruce had two children from their marriage. Thus, Khloe comes from a family of ten siblings, including step-brothers and sisters. She has a mix of Dutch, English, Irish, and Scottish ancestry from her mother’s side.

She attended the Roman Catholic, all girls, ‘Marymount High School’ in Los Angeles. She then dropped out to continue her education at home. She completed her ‘GED’ at the age of seventeen.

Her father died of esophageal cancer when she was just 18. Though the loss was a great blow to Khloe, it brought her closer to her mother.
