Khloé Kardashian News: TV Star Debuts New Podcast Khloé in Wonder Land
Reality television star Khloé Kardashian is branching out into podcasting with her debut video podcast, Khloé in Wonder Land. The hour-long podcast offers weekly conversations about love and healing with a variety of guests, including self-help author Mel Robbins and life coach Jay Shetty. Kardashian teased the new podcast in an Instagram video on January 6, describing it as “a window into my world and the stories that make it meaningful.”
In the first episode, which premiered January 8 on X (formerly Twitter), the 40-year-old sat down with her former brother-in-law Scott Disick and reacted to old rumors that the two had a romantic relationship. The pair discussed how their close friendship had long been mischaracterized by tabloids and fans, with some claiming that Disick, who was once married to her sister Kourtney, had gotten Khloé pregnant.
Kardashian called the speculation “nasty” and “wild,” clarifying that the two are just friends. “You never got me pregnant,” she told Disick, later adding, “The crazy thing is, if we actually were together, we would be annihilated for it. No one’s ever happy.”
Episodes of Khloé in Wonder Land come out every Wednesday on X and every Thursday on other streaming platforms.

Early Life: Parents and Family
Khloé Alexandra Kardashian was born on June 27, 1984, in Los Angeles. She is the third of four children born to Robert Kardashian and Kris Jenner. Her dad was a famed attorney who defended former football star O.J. Simpson during his highly publicized murder trial. Khloé’s has two older sisters, Kourtney and Kim, and a younger brother named Rob.
In 1989, when Khloé was 4 years old, her parents divorced. Kris remarried two years later, wedding Olympic gold medalist Caitlyn Jenner prior to her transition. The marriage, which ended in December 2014, granted Khloé four step-siblings: Burt, Casey, Brandon, and Brody Jenner. Kris and Caitlyn also had two daughters together: Khloé’s younger half-sisters, Kendall and Kylie.
As a teenager, Khloé briefly attended Marymount High School in ninth grade. After her sisters left the school, however, she felt lonely and experienced bullying, which led her to drop out. Desperate to attend another school, Khloé forged her parents’ signatures so she could enroll in Alexandria Academy, where she graduated with honors.
In 2003, she was delivered a devastating blow when her father died from esophageal cancer just two months after receiving his diagnosis. Khloé was 19 at the time.
Entering the working world in the early 2000s, Khloé briefly served as a personal assistant to socialite Nicole Richie, whom she met in school. “She was one of my best friends growing up and so we were really, really close,” Khloé said on the podcast Emergency Contact in October 2020. “She just needed some help, and I just needed a job.”
Around the same time, Khloé cofounded the fashion boutique DASH with her sisters, Kourtney and Kim. The Calabasas store opened in June 2006. She was still working there when her family landed their first reality TV show.
Reality TV Shows
Keeping Up with the Kardashians
In February 2007, Khloé’s sister Kim skyrocketed to fame after a sex tape of her and her then-boyfriend, Ray J, was leaked. It wasn’t long before the spotlight was cast on the entire Kardashian-Jenner family. A few months later, family matriarch Kris approached TV producer Ryan Seacrest about creating a reality show similar to The Osbournes, featuring musician Ozzy Osbourne and his family. Seacrest liked the idea and showed up to one of their barbecues and to get the family on board, but Khloé was hesitant at first.
“My mom and my sister Kim wanted to do the show, but Kourtney and I were really against it,” she told Glamour in September 2017. “We were like, ‘No—we love our little life. We love what we’re doing.’ But Ryan said, ‘We need the whole family or nobody at all.’” After Kris convinced Khloé that a reality show would be good for her business, she conceded, and Seacrest immediately began filming the family at the barbecue.
Keeping Up with the Kardashians premiered on E! in October 2007. The show followed the exploits of Khloé and her family members, from their love lives and personal conflicts to their professional pursuits. Through the show, Khloé developed a reputation for her quick wit and boisterous, unabashed honesty. Her business ventures were also highlighted on the show, including DASH and her clothing lines for QVC and Sears.
One of the show’s major events to involve Khloé was discussion over her biological father. Around 2012, rumors began circulating that she was the product of an extramarital affair. Kris had publicly shared she wasn’t faithful to Robert Kardashian during their marriage, and Khloé found herself trying to prove he was indeed her dad. The whole ordeal, including a paternity test that confirmed Robert is Khloé’s father, was captured on the series.
After 20 seasons, Keeping Up with the Kardashians came to an end, airing its final episode in June 2021, but the hit series spawned multiple spinoffs along the way.
Kourtney and Khloé Take Miami
The first spinoff, Kourtney and Khloé Take Miami, debuted in August 2009. The series, which ran for three seasons, followed Khloé and her sister Kourtney as they opened up a new DASH location in Miami Beach and let loose in the Sunshine State. After two seasons, however, she was replaced by her sister Kim.
Perhaps partly as a result of the show’s exposure, Khloé was invited to compete on Celebrity Apprentice in 2009. She made it into the top seven before was fired by host Donald Trump. At the time, Trump said her early exit was a result of Khloé’s previous DUI, but former Celebrity Apprentice staffers later claimed her firing was based on her appearance.
Khloé and Lamar
Two years later, Kardashian became the center of another reality show: Khloé and Lamar. The short-lived series, which premiered in April 2011, focused on her relationship with her then-husband, NBA star Lamar Odom. The couple’s lavish wedding had previously been captured on Keeping Up with the Kardashians.
The spinoff explored their family life, basketball, and the couple’s desire—and struggles—to have children. While Khloé dispelled rumors that she and Lamar planned to stop taping their show due to the NBA’s disapproval, the series ended after two seasons in May 2012.
Kourtney & Khloé Take the Hamptons and Kocktails with Khloé
In November 2012, Khloé co-hosted the music competition The X Factor with Mario Lopez but wasn’t invited back to host the following season. Two years later, she appeared in another spinoff series, Kourtney & Khloé Take the Hamptons, which premiered in November 2014 and lasted for one season. In January 2016, Khloé continued her reality television endeavors by starring in her own variety talk show on the FYI channel called Kocktails with Khloé, but that, too, had a one-season shelf life.
Revenge Body with Khloé Kardashian
Undeterred, she returned as the host of the makeover series Revenge Body with Khloé Kardashian in January 2017. The series focused on helping participants lose weight and confront family and friends who taunted them about their weight. While the series billed itself as empowering, it was criticized for sending the message that people’s bodies should be used for revenge. The show ended after three seasons, airing its final episode in August 2019.
In the midst of filming Revenge Body, Kardashian moved behind the camera to executive produce the true-crime series Twisted Sisters on Investigation Discovery. The show, which premiered in January 2018, examined infamous crimes committed by sisters. After three seasons, the series ended and gave way to the 2020 spinoff Twisted Love, which investigated crimes committed in the name of love.
The Kardashians
Just one year after Keeping Up with the Kardashians wrapped, Khloé appeared in a new family reality show aptly named The Kardashians. Beginning in April 2022, the Hulu series focuses on the lives of Khloé and her sisters, Kim, Kourtney, Kendall, and Kylie. The Kardashians was renewed for its sixth season in July 2024 ahead of the Season 5 finale.
Ex-Husband Lamar Odom
Shortly after ending her one-year relationship with NFL running back Derrick Ward, Kardashian married NBA star Lamar Odom in September 2009. The couple had only been dating for a month when they wed, with their engagement lasting a mere nine days. The wedding ceremony was featured on Season 4 of Keeping Up with the Kardashians. Two years later, their marriage was the subject of the spinoff series Khloé and Lamar, which ran for two seasons.
Not long after that show ended in 2012, rumors began to circulate about their relationship. The following August, Odom was arrested for driving under the influence. At Khloé’s urging, he checked himself into a rehabilitation facility but only stayed for a day. In December 2013, Kardashian filed for divorce. She later revealed Odom’s substance abuse and infidelity were the main reasons for their split.
“Lamar was so great at making me feel like I was the only one and I’m this princess. I never speculated cheating… so I didn’t know about cheating… until before the DUI,” Kardashian shared later on The Howard Stern Show. “It is humiliating on any level, but I found out he was cheating on me the majority of our marriage, I just didn’t know.”
Following the split, she started dating other people, including rapper French Montana and basketball pro James Harden, though she still remained concerned about her estranged husband’s welfare. In October 2015, Odom was found unconscious at a brothel in Nevada. Despite their lengthy separation, Kardashian rushed to the hospital where he was taken and made medical decisions on his behalf. Three months later, the basketball player was released from the hospital and began his recovery. Their divorce was finalized in December 2016.
Kids with Tristan Thompson
Meanwhile, Kardashian began dating NBA player Tristan Thompson that September. Nearly a year later, the reality star announced she was pregnant with their first child. “My greatest dream realized! We are having a baby!” she wrote on Instagram in December 2017. In the Season 14 finale of Keeping Up with the Kardashians, which aired in March 2018, it was revealed that Khloé would be having a daughter.
Shortly before she was expected to give birth, videos surfaced of multiple incidents in which Thompson was spotted getting cozy with other women in nightclubs. Despite the footage, he was by Kardashian’s side when she welcomed their baby girl, True Thompson, in April.
The following February, it was reported that she and Thompson had split up after he admitted to cheating on her with Kylie’s best friend Jordyn Woods. The pair eventually reunited in August 2020 before breaking up again in June 2021. Still, they remained friendly and had another child together via surrogacy. Their son, Tatum, was born in July 2022.
Net Worth
Kardashian has an estimated net worth of $60 million, according to Celebrity Net Worth. In addition to her work as a reality TV star, she has amassed wealth from her business ventures. Her first was DASH boutique, a Los Angeles area women’s clothing store she opened with her sisters Kourtney and Kim in June 2006. They eventually expanded to locations in Miami and New York City. In spring 2018, they announced the stores would be closing.
In 2016, Khloé co-founded the size-inclusive clothing brand Good American. More recently, she launched the signature fragrance XO Khloé.
