O.J. Simpson is clearing up the rumors about being Khloé Kardashian’s biological father, once and for all.
The former NFL star, 75, has long been the subject of speculation that he fathered the reality star as a result of an affair with Kris Jenner, whom he knew through his attorney and Jenner’s ex-husband, Robert Kardashian.
During an appearance on the “Full Send” podcast on Sunday, Dec. 18, the ex-football player finally set the record straight, insisting that he has never had an affair with the famed “momager”.
Implying that Kris Jenner was not good enough for him, Simpson said, “I always thought Kris was a cute girl, but I was dating supermodels.”
He then took a moment to shut down any claims of being the father to Khloé, insisting, “The rumor ain’t true. It’s not even anywhere close to being true.”
Khloé’s actual biological dad, Robert, was part of O.J.’s defense team when he was on trial for the 1994 murders of Nicole Brown Simpson and Ron Goldman, the former being one of Kris’ longtime good friends.
In 2003, Robert died at age 59 following a battle with esophageal cancer. As the Kardashian family began rising to fame with the launch of their reality show, Keeping Up With the Kardashians in 2007, Khloé became pinpointed as the “outsider” of the siblings, prompting speculation about Robert potentially not being her father. In an early episode of KUWTK, Khloé even took a DNA test to find out if she has the same father as her sisters, Kourtney and Kim Kardashian—but that didn’t stop the rumor mill for years.
In 2017, Khloé publicly addressed the online trolls who were still convinced that she was O.J.’s biological daughter, writing, “People are a–holes but I don’t care lol. I focus on the good.”
Kris has also long maintained that she never had an affair with O.J., despite admitting to infidelity during her marriage to her late ex-husband, who is the father of her first four children. She went on to marry Bruce Jenner, now Caitlyn Jenner, who is the father of Kendall and Kylie Jenner.
