Following the death of OJ Simpson on Wednesday, April 10, fans are worried whether rumors that Khloe Kardashian was actually his daughter will finally die down.

The former athlete, who died aged 76 after a long battle with cancer, was convicted of the double murder of his ex-wife, Nicole Brown Simpson, and her friend, Ron Goldman.

At the time, Khloe’s father, Robert Kardashian, was serving as Simpson’s defense attorney, but it’s worth noting that rumors that Simpson was Khloe’s father had circulated for decades.

Robert’s ex-wife, Kris Jenner, whom he was married to from 1978 to 1991, was close to Simpson and Brown and stayed by their children after Brown’s death.

In 2018, the late athlete came clean about his involvement with Kris about Khloe’s birth, denying all rumors.

He said TMZ: “Believe me, I am with [Khloe and her family]. I would be proud if I could be a part of it, but I’m not. “

Meanwhile, in 2013, Robert’s wife at the time of his death, Ellen Pearson, exclusively revealed in an interview that Robert admitted that Khloe was not his biological daughter.

However, the Kardashian family has long denied this rumor. In 2018, Kardashian and Jenner took a DNA test during an episode of the reality show Keeping Up With the Kardashians.

Her tests revealed that the reality star is 58% European and 41.6% Middle Eastern, which was the deciding factor since Robert has Armenian ancestry.

Khloe read her results aloud, after which Kourtney said, “You’re my sister.”

Courtney responded: “Thank God. If you weren’t Middle Eastern at all, we’d be in big trouble.”
