Khloe Kardashian has worn many hats, from a model and successful businesswoman to a mother
Khloe Kardashian made her debut on 'Keeping Up With the Kardashians', and since then she has become a prosperous businesswoman and mother. She expanded her family, started a successful clothing line, and hosted her own shows. In April 2018, the reality star and her ex-boyfriend Tristan Thompson welcomed their baby True into the world. Here is a look at the evolution of Kris Jenner and Robert Kardashian's youngest child over time.
2007: Premier of 'Keeping Up With the Kardashians'
The reality television program 'Keeping Up With the Kardashians' made its debut on E! and went on to have one of the longest runs in history. The show continually kept things realistic while delving into both the positive and negative facets of the Kardashian-Jenner clan. The first episode date was 14 October 2007 with executive producers being Ryan Seacrest, Jonathan Murray, Gil Goldschein, Jeff Jenkins, Farnaz Farjam-Chazan, Kris Jenner, Kourtney Kardashian, Kim Kardashian, and Khloe.
2008: Khloe Kardashian is arrested
In March 2007, Khloe was arrested for being under the influence while driving. In July 2008, after breaking the terms of her parole, she handed herself to the police. Due to crowding, the former X Factor host was freed after less than three hours in custody, avoiding a possible 30-day jail sentence. Kim was famous for taking selfies while driving, and Kris notably asked her daughter to stop. "Would you stop taking pictures of yourself? Your sister’s going to jail," per US.
2009: Marriage to Lamar Odom
Khloe played a leading role in several 'Keeping Up With the Kardashians' spinoffs, such as 'Kourtney and Khloé Take Miami' in 2009, 'Khloé & Lamar' in 2011, and' Kourtney and Khloé Take The Hamptons' in 2014. In September 2009, the host of 'Revenge Body' is well known for getting married to Lamar Odom in an extravagant ceremony after just one month of dating. After four years of marriage, Khloé filed for divorce from Odom. The couple had been estranged for months prior to the court action because of his drug usage and infidelity. "She flip-flopped several times, but she can’t imagine having kids with someone who refuses to seek help for his [addiction]," a source said to the outlet at the time. She halted the proceedings in October 2015, when the athlete went into a coma after an overdose in a Nevada brothel. Khloe re-filed the papers in May 2016, and the divorce was finalized in December 2016.

The model appeared on Jimmy Kimmel Live! and stated that she frequently travels to Cleveland to be with her beau. "I actually really like it," she admits. "I like having my routine and being a little more under the radar." On September 15-18, 2016, Khloe and Tristan traveled to Miami to see Kanye West's 'Saint Pablo' tour and celebrate Flo Rida's birthday at club LIV. They pose for photos, and then a pal takes over Khloé's Snapchat account and publishes recordings of them kissing, per Daily Mail. Also, the reality personality co-founded the denim company Good American with Emma Grede at this time. The line, which sold $1 million on its first day, centered on body-positive sizing and later extended into athleisure and other sorts of clothing.
2017: Khloe Kardashian welcomes baby daughter True
In January 2017, Khloe hosted 'Revenge Body', an E! show in which she assisted in makeovers with personal trainers and stylists. The show debuted after she underwent her own transformation, dropping 30 pounds following her divorce from Odom. The 'Keeping Up With the Kardashians' star's pregnancy with her first child was reported soon after. The announcement reportedly coincided with a family baby boom: Kim and husband Kanye West were expecting their third child, daughter Chicago, through surrogacy, while Kylie was carrying daughter Stormi with boyfriend Travis Scott, per Us. Days before Khloé gave birth to daughter True in April 2018, Us revealed that Thompson was disloyal. Despite difficulties in their relationship, the pair decided to stay together.
2020: Khloe quarantines with Thompson
Khloe was quarantining with Thompson during the coronavirus pandemic, Us reported, but not romantically. Instead, the model wanted to enjoy "spending time as a family and being all together." Following the athlete's consent to donate his sperm to Khloé in a 'Keeping Up With the Kardashians' episode from April 2020, speculations about the couple's second child hit the roof. Khloe put an end to the rumors by reminding followers that she was the only one who could live her life. In May 2020, while in a coronavirus quarantine, the 'Revenge Body' star waved farewell to her trademark blond locks and debuted a bronde style that got fans buzzing.

In April 2021, the ex 'Kocktails With Khloe' host spoke up on controlling her own social media experience after asking that an unwanted photo be taken off the internet. As the reality star admitted she enjoys "a good filter, good lighting, and an edit here and there," she vowed not to retract any of her posts. "My body, my image, how I choose to look, and what I want to share is my choice," she said. "It’s not for anyone to decide or judge what is acceptable anymore." Also in June 2021, the entire family sat down with Andy Cohen for a two-part reunion special after the final episode of 'Keeping Up With the Kardashians' aired. Khloe admitted on the show that she had only undergone a nose operation and no other cosmetic procedures. "I’ve had one nose job — Dr. Raj Kinodia — and everyone gets so upset, like, ‘Why don’t I talk about it?'” She went on and said "No one’s ever asked me. You’re the first person in an interview that’s ever asked me about my nose. I’ve done, sure, injections — not really Botox. I’ve responded horribly to Botox." In the same month, reports surfaced that the reality star who had turned 37 on June 27, 2021, was calling it off with Thompson for good.
