Khloe Alexandra Kardashian turned 40-years-old on Thursday.

It is quite a milestone for the TV star who has done so much in her four decades.

The Calabasas, California native has had some incredible accomplishments, from the ‘fat sister’ next to slender sisters Kim and Kourtney, to a bikini bombshell who lands magazine covers.

She came to fame on Keeping Up With The Kardashians in 2007, made spinoffs and married LA Lakers great Lamar Odom.

Then her world changed.

After she left Odom, Khloe hit the gym and became pinup #1 in the KarJenner clan, causing her to land her own modeling contracts for companies like The Gap and spinoff shows like Kocktails With Khloe. 

Here is a look back at the evolution of one of America’s biggest glamazons.

She rose to fame starring with her family in the reality television series Keeping Up with the Kardashians from 2007 to 2021. 

Then she was in the spin-offs, Kourtney and Khloé Take Miami (2009–2013) and Kourtney and Khloé Take The Hamptons (2014–2015). 

Following the ending of their previous show, she and her family began starring on Hulu’s The Kardashians in 2022.

In 2009, Kardashian participated in the second season of The Celebrity Apprentice, finishing 10th of 16 candidates by being fired by Donald Trump. 

In 2012, she co-hosted the second season of the US adaptation of The X Factor with actor Mario Lopez.

Kardashian is involved in the retail and fashion industries with her sisters Kourtney and Kim. 

They have launched several clothing collections and fragrances, and additionally released the book Kardashian Konfidential in 2010. 

The Dash boutique employees starred in their own short-lived reality television series, Dash Dolls (2015).

In 2016, Kardashian hosted her own talk show, Kocktails with Khloé. 

She starred and produced health and fitness docu-series Revenge Body with Khloé Kardashian.

Her love life has been headline making. 

From September 2009 to December 2016, Kardashian was married to basketball player Lamar Odom, whom she married one month after they first met. 

They starred in their own reality television series, Khloé & Lamar (2011–2012).

She also shares Tatum, who turns two on July 28, and True, six, with her 33-year-old ex partner, basketball star Tristan Thompson.

She has also dated rappers The Game and French Montana. 

These days she also models a ton for companies like Kate Hudson’s Fabletics and has recently partnered with Body Glove for her brand Good American.

The reality TV diva got a warm tribute from her mother Kris Jenner first thing in the morning on her 40th birthday.

The producer’s Instagram post noted that the Good American designer is a great mother and is a wonderful daughter.

The blonde beauty shares Tatum, who turns two on July 28, and True, six, with her 33-year-old ex partner, basketball star Tristan Thompson. 

‘Happy birthday to my beautiful, delicious angel @khloekardashian!!!!!!’ began the momager.

‘I am not sure what I did to deserve you, but I thank God every single day for the beautiful blessing of being your mommy… you are one of the most wonderful loves of my life, and I cherish each and every glorious memory we have ever made.’

‘You are the most amazing daughter and have been the greatest gift in life, but watching you as a mommy has been so remarkable for me,’ added Kris.  

‘You are everyone’s favorite auntie and literally have dedicated and devoted yourself to your babies and to all of your nieces and nephews and are everyone’s hero. 

‘You are such a joyful, happy, funny slice of life and when I’m with you, you always make me feel so special and so happy to be around you. I love the way you love me.

‘You are someone so truly special and have the most amazing creativity, style, energy, beauty and love that exudes from you. You are everyone’s biggest cheerleader and you are so supportive of all of your siblings and all of your nieces and nephews, and you make every single one of us feel so special and loved,’ remarked the girlfriend of Corey Gamble. 

‘I don’t know how I got so lucky to be able to go through life with you!!!! Thank you for all you do for everyone Khloé and for always looking at the glass half full and for always looking at life through such a positive lens. 

‘No matter what you’re so upbeat for the rest of us. I love your strength and your sensitivity and your vulnerability and your support. Happy birthday, my beautiful girl and may all of your dreams come true. I love you beyond measure, more than I can ever explain in words, and you will always be my Bunny love, Mommy.’ 

Khloe Kardashian opened up about the struggles she faced when she welcomed her son Tatum.

She appeared on the SHE MD podcast on Tuesday where she talked about how hard the process was for her.

The Good American founder, 39, is a patient of the podcast’s co-host Dr. Thaïs Aliabadi and she told her she had a hard time bonding with him before he was born via surrogate in July 2023.

‘I wasn’t carrying him, I didn’t really feel anything,’ she said, which was exacerbated by the fact that no one knew about the upcoming baby – not even her family.

‘And then the first week of December, I found out that my ex was actually having a baby with somebody else,’ she said, referring to her ex, Tristan Thompson. 

‘And I never told my family I did the transfer. I wasn’t going to tell anyone until it took, because I wanted to surprise everyone. So no one knew.’ 

And the reality TV star also had to fend off the press and social media posts and comments when news of her impending baby broke. 

‘It devastated me because that’s when all the judgment and the knives were thrown at me,’ she recalled.

The mom of two had planned one last Mommy and me trip with her daughter True before her son’s arrival. But her plans were foiled when her doctor called. 

‘I remember, Dr. A. called and said she just had a checkup with my surrogate, and she said, “Khloe, we have to deliver within 24 hours,”‘ she explained.

‘The baby wasn’t due for another week or two and this was my last weekend with my daughter True. I just needed the weekend,’ she said.

Khloé started to panic in the moment as her careful plans were being thrown into chaos.

‘And so I go, “No, we can’t do this.” And [Dr. A’s] like, “No, there’s no fluid in the sac. We need to do this.” And I go, “I’m having a weekend. I’m having a weekend with True,”‘ Kardashian recalls. 

‘And she goes, this is the Mother Theresa, she goes, “Okay,” because I started hysterically crying because it wasn’t even about the weekend, it was about now this is real.

‘She goes, “You know what?’ I’ll deliver the baby. I’ll take the baby and you let me know when you’re ready to pick him up,”‘ Kardashian said. 

‘And I was like, “What?” I’m like, “Who does this? Who even offers that?” And she did. And I remember I was like to myself, “Khloé, snap out of it. This is life. We got to do this.”‘

She added that she was able to get through that moment thanks in part to her sister Kim Kardashian, who welcomed two of her four children via surrogate.

Khloe also shared how she came up with Tatum’s name on the podcast.

‘So Tatum’s a little different of a story. I like unique names, but not off-the-wall names,’ the Keeping Up With the Kardashians star began. 

‘I think our family has enough off-the-wall names. I didn’t want to have just too much craziness,’ she explained. 

‘I actually didn’t legally name Tatum, I think for maybe eight months,’ she added, noting that it was a long time. 

In the meantime, she gave him a nickname, saying: ‘So Papa was a lot that I would use, but that was tough for me naming him because it’s interesting because I wasn’t carrying him, I didn’t really feel anything.

‘With True, I could feel things about her or when I would pray at night, I would pray and we would have our conversations, and I don’t know, I just felt True’s spirit. It’s weird and kooky,’ she explained.

She noted that everything is fine now, saying: ‘I am obsessed with Tatum now, of course.’ 

She also wants to share her experience with surrogacy in the hopes that it might help someone else going through that process.

‘Anyone going through surrogacy, don’t compare yourself to somebody else’s journey,’ she said, emphasizing that her experience was vastly different from Kim’s. 

‘I think it is such an incredible blessing that we have this option and I’m so grateful for the women out there who are giving up their bodies to carry someone else’s baby to then give it back to their mother. 

‘It’s such a beautiful thing. But give yourself grace. Give yourself patience,’ she advised.

Khloé Kardashian and her older sister Kim took a stroll down memory lane thanks to one of the most popular Keeping Up With The Kardashians clips of all time.

The siblings were inspired to taunt each other after an account on X reposted a clip from early in KUWTK’s run in which Kim surprised Khloé with the intention of hitting her with her chunky handbag.

But the future SKIMS founder — who was recently revealed to wear her lingerie and shapewear in sizes that were seemingly too small —  somehow failed to ever make contact with Khloé, now 39, despite getting in multiple swings with her sizable purse.

‘I wish she would try this now @KimKardashian,’ Khloé joked as she reposted the clip on Wednesday night.

But the post noted that the classic scene aired 16 years ago, which gave Kim plenty of time to reassess her strategy and to plan out her revenge. 

‘Baby be careful what you wish for…my bag is much bigger today than it was 16 years ago. @khloekardashian,’ she teased her little sister. 

Khloé wasn’t ready to let Kim have the last word, and she seemed almost gleeful at the prospect of a bag-swinging remake.

‘Damn I love it when you talk to me like this!! Made me a little excited,’ she joked. ‘I love when you stunt on me.’

She added: ‘Squealing but remember Khlomoney is still in this body. I just had to put her to sleep for a few years but she can and will be woken up.’

Khloé sounded ready for action as she wrote, ‘I’ll see you and you[r] big a** bag soon.

‘Make it a Himalayan,’ she added, referring to the Hermès Himalaya version of its iconic Birkin bags.

In the original oft-mocked video, Kim and Khloé had been fighting over a Bentley, and Kim decided to end things on her terms.

‘There’s been so much fighting, so much arguing. At this point, I don’t care whose fault it is. I need to make it right,’ she said threateningly in a confessional.

She was seen parking and walking up to brother Rob Kardashian’s apartment building where her sisters Khloé and Kourtney were having a takeout dinner with him and Kourtney’s then-partner Scott Disick.

‘My feelings are really hurt that she let some loser yell at me,’ Khloé complained about her sister while Kim was marching toward the door.

Kourtney jumped into add that ‘Kim doesn’t say anything,’ and Khloé said that ‘people control her because she’s a f***ing weak duck.’

Then, as Khloé bragged about how she and Kourtney could stick up for themselves, Kim arrived after hearing their conversation outside the door.

‘Don’t be f***ing rude!’ Kim said, inaugurating a classic Keeping Up With The Kardashians line as she swung her large handbag at Khloé, who sat closest to the door.

But she swung wildly and missed her sister, and then Khloé was able to grab her arm, somehow preventing Kim from hitting her with her subsequent two sings. 

‘Are you kidding me?!’ Kourtney shouted in the background.

Exasperated, Kim resorted to punching Khloé in the arm before casually saying ‘b****’ and walking away. 

In their ensuing argument, Kim claimed she was moved to hurt her sister because Khloé allegedly tried to slam the door in her face after opening it.

Rob tried to smooth things over, but Kim burst into tears and walked out of the apartment while Khloé and Kourtney continued to taunt her as Scott looked uncomfortable. 

The blast from the past comes after Kim’s SKIMS company appeared to have revealed that she was a surprisingly tiny small size for her bras, despite always appearing particularly busty at public events. 

The label also revealed that she allegedly wears an XS size pair of SKIMS.

However, that information outraged fans of the brand who weren’t buying that she could wear such small sizes.

Others speculated that the size small bra may have been accurate, but only so as to make it appear that Kim was bursting out of her bras.
