Khloe Kardashian Paternity Mystery: Inside the OJ Simpson Rumors and What We Know
Khloé Kardashian’s paternity rumors are roaring back after a blink-and-you-missed-it moment in the latest episode of The Kardashians, reigniting debate over whether Robert Kardashian is really her father and sending fans scrambling for answers.
New episode of The Kardashians, two things everyone on the internet loves: a revival of the Khloe paternity rumor and an $80,000 family Bible. Subtle? Not really. Entertaining? Absolutely.
The Bible plot twist the show saved for the reveal
There’s a very specific item at the center of this: Robert Kardashian Sr.’s personal Bible. Back in 1994, after O.J. Simpson’s arrest, Robert handed that exact copy to O.J. with a handwritten note telling him to read it every day. Fast-forward: O.J.’s estate started auctioning off his belongings earlier this year, and that Bible popped up. Khloe clocked it immediately. Kim tried to buy it quietly before the auction for $15,000, but the estate shut that down because of legal/admin rules.
- 1994: Robert Sr. gives O.J. his personal Bible with a handwritten note about reading it daily.
- Early this year: O.J.’s estate lists the Bible for auction; Khloe spots it.
- Pre-auction: Kim offers $15,000 to buy it privately; the estate declines due to legal/administrative restrictions.
- Auction day: bidding goes wild; final price clears $80,000 after fees.
- Later reveal: the anonymous buyer was Kim, using an alias to bring it back to the family—especially because it mattered to Khloe.
Kim says she did it because the Bible is personal family history, and she wanted it back where it belongs. That’s the normal part. The not-normal part is the banter that set the internet on fire.
"Well, it’s questionable between which one, between O.J. and Dad."
"Both of my dads. Give it to me!"
Context: Kim was needling Khloe after Khloe vented that the estate wouldn’t just hand over the Bible. Khloe took the joke and doubled down. And just like that, the old rumor got new oxygen.
Why this rumor won’t die (and what the family has actually said)
The Khloe–O.J. story is one of those tabloid staples that never really goes away. Robert Kardashian Sr. and O.J. were extremely close—close enough that Robert joined O.J.’s legal defense team during the trial. Years later, Kris Jenner admitted in her memoir that she had an affair at some point during her marriage, and the speculation machine did what it does.
On Keeping Up with the Kardashians, Kris once floated a DNA test; Khloe shut that down, saying she didn’t need a test to know who her father was. O.J. himself addressed it on the Full Send podcast in December 2022 and flatly denied it. There’s still zero actual evidence the rumor is true; it just resurfaces whenever someone in the family cracks a joke about it—like this week.
The bottom line
Kim quietly spent north of $80K under an alias to buy back Robert Sr.’s Bible after the estate wouldn’t sell it to her pre-auction. Khloe’s reaction and Kim’s tease made for good TV and reignited a rumor that’s been repeatedly denied and never backed up by facts. The Kardashians knows its audience.
