Khloé Kardashian Confronts O.J. Simpson Paternity Claims

Khloé Kardashian is one of the most well-known members of the famous Kardashian–Jenner family, a reality-TV star, entrepreneur, and media personality. Over the years, despite her public visibility and success, she’s had to navigate intense speculation about her personal origins — in particular, persistent rumors that O.J. Simpson, rather than her legal father, Robert Kardashian Sr., might be her biological dad.

This speculation stems from a complex history: Robert Kardashian Sr. was a longtime friend and, more famously, the defense attorney for O.J. Simpson during his 1995 murder trial. Because of that connection — and swirling tabloid stories, allegations, and inconsistencies voiced in the media over decades — some have speculated that Simpson had a romantic involvement with Khloé’s mother, Kris Jenner. Those suspicions ignited rumours that Khloé might be the result of that alleged relationship.

Despite the persistence of these rumors, Khloé and members of her family have repeatedly denied them — often publicly and emphatically.

The Latest — How Khloé Addressed the Rumors in 2025

In a recently aired episode of The Kardashians (November 2025), the topic resurfaced when her sister Kim Kardashian surprised her with their late father Robert Sr.’s Bible — a book that Robert had once given to Simpson back in 1994.

During the conversation, there was what many interpret as a flirtatious, jokey exchange referencing the rumors: when Kim quipped that the Bible had “been between both” Robert and Simpson, Khloé laughed and said, “Both of my dads — give it to me!”

That quip reignited public curiosity. Khloé’s remark, in context, was taken by some as a playful acknowledgment — or at least a nod — to the rumours that have shadowed her for decades. Others interpreted it purely as sarcastic humor, a way to reclaim or defuse the ridiculousness of the speculation.

Still, it is important to note: neither Khloé nor her family — not even Simpson prior to his death in 2024 — ever confirmed the rumors, and on multiple occasions, they denied them directly.

History of Denials and Context: What We Know for Sure

The rumors about Khloé’s paternity have circulated for many years. In 2012, after a tabloid interview in which one of Robert Sr.’s ex-wives claimed Khloé was not his biological daughter, her mother Kris Jenner publicly dismissed the claims. She said she “was there,” and that the rumors were “silly,” calling such stories attempts to gain relevance.

In the same year, an episode of their family’s reality show confronted the rumours. The show even raised the possibility of a DNA test — but Khloé refused. She stated she didn’t need a DNA test to prove who her father is, declaring that her dad was Robert, and also acknowledging Caitlyn Jenner as “her other dad.” She said she felt no need for further proof to validate her family bonds.

Meanwhile, O.J. Simpson consistently denied the rumors. In a 2022 interview on the “Full Send Podcast,” he responded directly: “The rumor ain’t true — not even close to being true.” He added that he never had romantic interest in Kris Jenner and dismissed the speculation as “bogus, bad, tasteless.”

Even before that, in 2019, he had posted a message on Twitter (now X) affirming he was not Khloé’s father and that he and Robert were like brothers — stressing that “she is not mine.”

So by the facts publicly available:

The rumors originated from tabloid claims and speculation.
Khloé’s family has denied them multiple times.
A DNA test was declined by Khloé — not because of scientific or conclusive refusal, but because she said she already knew who her father is.
Simpson also denied being her biological father.

So Why Do the Rumors Persist — Even After Denials?

Despite repeated denials, the rumors around Khloé’s paternity remain alive, partly because of a combination of factors:

Public fascination with the scandalous: The association of the Simpson name with one of America’s most notorious criminal trials — plus the legal and personal entanglements involving Robert Kardashian Sr. — makes for a tantalizing tabloid narrative. Any shred of ambiguous detail is often magnified for sensationalism.
Family dynamics and secrecy: The fact that a former wife of Robert Sr. once claimed Khloé isn’t his biological daughter — even if disputed — keeps doubt alive.
Public jokes and ambiguous statements: As seen in the 2025 episode of The Kardashians with the bidding for Robert Sr.’s Bible and the joking remarks from Khloé and Kim, ambiguity — even playful — can reignite speculation. Some fans interpret jokes as veiled admissions; others see them as defence mechanisms.
Human wish for mystery and conspiracy: For many outsiders, mysteries about lineage, hidden relationships, and celebrity lives are irresistible. The combination of fame, tragedy, and legal drama lends itself to rumors that persist across decades.

The Broader Impact: Identity, Family, and Public Scrutiny

This rumor — and the way it has been handled — speaks to larger themes:

1. Identity and self-definition

Khloé’s stance — that she knows who her father is and doesn’t need DNA to “prove” it — highlights a powerful perspective on family identity: it’s not just biology that defines a parent; upbringing, love, and relationship matter too.

2. The burden of public life on private matters

For Khloé and her family, personal and deeply sensitive matters have been turned into public spectacle for decades. Every comment, joke, or reveal can be dissected — which raises ethical questions about privacy, dignity, and the boundaries of celebrity exposure.

3. How media and fame can distort reality

The “O.J.–Khloé” theory shows how fame, association, and public fascination with scandal can override evidence. Despite denials and lack of proof, rumors persist — a reminder of how media-driven narratives can distort perceptions of truth.

4. The role of legacy, memory, and emotional connections

The 2025 episode where Robert Sr.’s Bible resurfaces — and its symbolic weight — shows how memories, relics, and family history play a role in shaping identity beyond genetics. For Khloé, the Bible was more than a physical object; it was a connection to her father’s memory.

What Khloé’s Recent Response Means — and Why It Matters

The 2025 moment — where she laughed and said “Both of my dads — give it to me!” when discussing the Bible — served multiple social functions:

It’s a defensive gesture: by responding with humor, Khloé defuses the power of the rumors. She neither confirms nor gives weight to them — but also doesn’t shy away, showing that the chatter won’t define her.
It’s a reclamation of narrative: by owning the joke, she takes control of the narrative instead of letting tabloids or gossipmongers frame her identity.
It’s a reaffirmation of family bonds: through her words and reactions, Khloé emphasizes that familial love and recognition are what matter — not gossip or suspicion.
It keeps the conversation alive in public view: ironically, her joking response may reignite the rumors among fans and media. But perhaps that’s a conscious choice: to highlight how absurd the rumors are, in a way only she can.

What We Still Don’t Have — and What Likely Never Will Be Confirmed

There is no credible, publicly verified DNA evidence that proves O.J. Simpson is Khloé’s biological father. The claims remain speculative, based on anecdotal statements and tabloid rumors.
The only person who could have definitively clarified the matter — Robert Kardashian Sr. — died in 2003. His former wife’s claim from 2012 remains disputed, and no conclusive proof emerged.
Given the family’s long history of managing public scrutiny, and given Khloé’s stated position — that she doesn’t need a DNA test and knows who her father is — it seems unlikely there will ever be a definitive confirmation that satisfies both skeptics and believers.

Final Thoughts: Rumors, Reality, and What Defines Family

The saga of Khloé Kardashian and the O.J. Simpson paternity rumors is a powerful example of how celebrity, memory, and rumor can intersect — often in painful, confusing ways. For decades, tabloids and gossip — fueled by scandalous possibilities — attempted to redefine Khloé’s identity. For decades, she and her family responded with denials.

In 2025, when the rumors resurfaced through a playful joke on reality TV, Khloé’s reaction showed resilience, control, and a refusal to be defined by speculation. Her words — “both of my dads” — say more than biology; they speak to belonging, memory, and emotional truth.
