Khloé Kardashianis reminiscing about her late father Robert Kardashian, Sr.
TheKeeping Up with the Kardashiansalum, 37, spoke about the bond that she and her siblings shared with their dad growing up during an appearance onThe Kelly Clarkson ShowTuesday.
“We were all so close to my dad. My dad definitely worked all the time, but looking back at it I never noticed that,” she explained. “He was with us all the time, and I think just had a really good way of balancing work and taking care of his kids and being there. He was there for all of our sporting events, any plays, any of that kind of stuff.”
Khloé added that Robert Sr. — who died at 59 in 2003, months after he was diagnosed with esophageal cancer — also encouraged her to step out of her comfort zone and try new things.
“He was such a great dad,” she said.
In 2018, Khloéopened upabout the lessons she wants to bestow upon her own daughterTrue Thompson.
“But, the one thing I would take from how my dad waswith us is unconditional love,” Khloéwrote on her websiteand app at the time. “It’s the entire point of family.”

“There are times when I could be frustrated and studying really late and have to get up and wonder how he did it, having four kids and must’ve been going through some of the same things that I have gone through,” she said. “So it would have been exciting to talk to him about that, and I know that he would be so, so proud.”
Kim, 40, has also spoken about how she sees parts of her father in her own children, especiallyher youngest son Psalm.
“So my whole family, all the time, thinks it’s my dad and is just so emotional and close to him,” she previously toldE!of Psalm.
“He’s left-handed, like my dad,” Kim said. “So, all these things happen. I don’t even know if I believe in reincarnation, but I do now. I want to believe it!”
