Ms. Kim Kardashian, aged forty-four, shared a previously unreleased family photograph on Sunday, offering a personal reflection on her late father, Mr. Robert Kardashian.
The image, posted to her Instagram account, depicts a young Ms. Kardashian standing beside her parents — Mr. Kardashian, who passed away at the age of fifty-nine from esophageal cancer, and Ms. Kris Jenner, now aged sixty-nine. In the photograph, Ms. Jenner is seen with her arms around Mr. Kardashian, both smiling for the camera alongside their daughter.
Ms. Kardashian captioned the post simply: “Dad, Mom and Me.”
Mrs. Kris Jenner and the late Mr. Robert Kardashian were married from 1978 until the dissolution of their marriage in 1991. Their union produced four children: Ms. Kourtney Kardashian (aged 46), Ms. Kimberly “Kim” Kardashian (aged 44), Ms. Khloé Kardashian (aged 41), and Mr. Robert Kardashian, Jr. (aged 38).
Mr. Robert Kardashian subsequently entered into two additional marriages following the divorce. In 1998, he wed Ms. Jan Ashley; however, that marriage was annulled within thirty (30) days. Thereafter, following a three-year courtship, he entered into marriage with Ms. Ellen Pierson (née Markowitz) approximately six weeks prior to his passing in September 2003 at the age of fifty-nine.
Concurrently, in 1991, Mrs. Kris Jenner entered into matrimony with Olympic decathlete Mr. Caitlyn Jenner (formerly Bruce Jenner), age seventy-five, with whom she shares two daughters, Ms. Kendall Jenner (aged 29) and Ms. Kylie Jenner (aged 28).
Ms. Kimberly Kardashian, who was twenty-two years of age at the time of her father’s death, has publicly expressed her desire to follow his legal career path. In May 2025, she completed a six-year legal studies program and now awaits the completion of the California State Bar Examination before she may practice law. She has also been actively engaged in prison reform advocacy, with aspirations to establish her own law firm to assist rehabilitated former inmates in securing gainful employment.
Ms. Kardashian has spoken on several occasions of her father’s influence, remarking in 2020 that she believed he “would be so, so proud” of her pursuit of the legal profession. She further noted that, during moments of difficulty with her studies, she often thought of him and drew strength from the knowledge that he once endured similar challenges.
Most recently, in March 2025, Ms. Kardashian’s attempt to acquire a family heirloom closely tied to her late father — a Bible he had gifted to Mr. O.J. Simpson — was unsuccessful. The executor of Mr. Simpson’s estate, Attorney Malcolm LaVergne, confirmed that her $15,000 offer was declined because the transaction could not be completed outside of the formal auction process.#newsafro_
