Poor Khloe Not-Kardashian. Not only is her alleged soap-opera paternity drama still openly discussed, but Khloe also has to deal with the humiliation of having Kim Kardashian for a sister. Kim sucks the life out of every conversation, and in case Kim doesn’t get to it, Kourtney will totally sit there and be tedious and boring too. Sidenote: Kim is morphing into Kourtney, right? That’s the product of all of Kim’s Botox and surgeries – she looks so much like Kourtney now. Anyway, back to Khloe. I like Khloe. I wish she wasn’t a Kardashian by name, that’s how much I like Khloe. She’s the smart one, the funny one, the one who doesn’t know how to dress for her body (scratch that – none of them know how to dress). And in the midst of Kim’s divorce drama and Kourtney’s baby drama, Khloe got her own tabloid cover this week. But it’s sad gossip, because the story is just about how Khloe can’t get pregnant. I feel for her.
Her sister Kourtney last week announced she is expecting her second baby with boyfriend Scott Disick. But although Khloe Kardashian has made no secret of her desire to start a family, there has been no baby joy so far in her two year marriage to basketball player Lamar Odom. And now, in a bid for that longed-for baby, Khloe has started preparing for in-vitro fertilisation treatment, according to magazine reports.
‘She is desperate for a baby with Lamar and will do whatever it takes,’ a friend of the couple tells Us Weekly magazine. ‘They have faith the IVF will work.’
Khloe, who looked ultra-glamorous as she stepped out in Los Angeles yesterday, is reported to have had several consultations about IVF treatment and is taking pre-natal vitamins. IVF costs around $10,000 to $15,000 per treatment.
A source close to the couple told the publication that Khloe and 32-year-old Lamar ‘have been trying everything to get pregnant but nothing works.’
And the news that Kourtney is expecting a brother or sister to son Mason, only highlighted the fact that Khloe is not yet pregnant herself.
‘She’s thrilled for Kourtney, but she’s really sensitive,’ another source said. ‘And it’s hard to see your sister get something you want so badly.’
The star is feeling under pressure to become pregnant. She told the magazine in the spring: ‘People keep saying “Why aren’t you pregnant yet?’ That’s what scares me, when people are like, “Did you go to the doctor? Do you know if everything’s working?” It’s nerve-racking. Sometimes I feel like I’m letting everyone down.’
The reality star is also stepmother to Lamar’s children from a previous relationship – 13-year-old Destiny and Lamar Jr, 10. Although the sports star’s children live in New York, Khloe has a good relationship with them and keeps in touch via Twitter.
She also ‘loves being an aunt’ to nephew Mason, two, and is often spotted carrying the youngster while filming the family’s many reality shows. The Kardashian and Jenner family have also lent their support to Khloe, with little sisters Kendall and Kylie also hoping for a niece of nephew.
‘They always say “You’ve got to have a baby. It’ll be so cute and tall, and we’ll babysit,” Khloe told Us. I’m like “You’ve got to get off my back.”‘
Even family matriarch Kris Jenner has had words of reassurance for her third daughter, despite once calling her daughters ‘stingy’ for not providing more grandchildren.
‘Maybe she thought I was having a bad day,’ Khloe recalled. ‘But she starts telling me that when she and Bruce first met, they were trying to have kids and it took her five years to get pregnant with Kendall. She was just like ‘With certain people, it just takes a minute.’
However, when or if Khloe and Lamar do have children, the star won’t be carrying on her mother’s tradition of names beginning with ‘K’. ‘I definitely want some L names,’ she admits.
A representative for Khloe Kardashian did not immediately respond when contacted by Mail Online for comment..
[From The Mail]
I wouldn’t be surprised if Khloe was doing in vitro already, or maybe even some kind of hormone treatment. She seems to have gained some weight over the past six months, and that could be one of the reasons. Not that it’s any of my business, I guess, but Khloe has always been so open in discussing everything… I just feel for her. I hope she’s able to conceive, because I do think she wants it so badly.

She may want it badly but her self-described reasons sound more like she is concerned because other people are badgering her…I know the feeling.
I didn’t read it like that, exactly. I think sometimes when you really want to get pregnant, that badgering is super hard to take. It took my husband a long time to get pregnant and when I finally did, we had an early miscarriage. I remember going to a family party with him while I was in the process of having that miscarriage. The whole party was filled with “When you are you two going to have kids?” “Why don’t you get preganant?”. Hearing that crap when you don’t want to get pregnant is annoying as hell. Hearing it when you want to but can’t, is super devastating.
I agree whole-heartedly. I’m sorry for your struggles and your loss MollyB. LOTS of women in that boat but that doesn’t make it easier. I wish we could all be a little more sensitive to each woman as a unique individual and lay off the when-are-you-getting-pregnant questions.
I hate the Kardashians on almost every level but for this one. I really do wish these two the best in their family plans.
I don’t know why that would be my soft spot, but there it is.
Me too. I don’t even watch their shows but she just seems more ‘real’ and doesn’t have the plastic and contrived feeling of the rest of the family. I hope that she really isn’t a Kardashian for her sake.
She wants a baby, she is going to try in vitro which means there is something wrong. Ok. But in my opinion THIS IS VERY PRIVATE THING – don’t you think? Does she really have to make that statement on the cover of tabloid? All there people and their confessions in media are just insincere. Look at all this week tabloid covers – everywhere Kardashians. It is just sick for me like some competition who is going to expose and sell more. The question is – Is there any final boundry? or Do they have any boundaries?
@scarlett, Kloë is not giving them an interview about undergoing IVF, they’re speculating because she has been honest about her inability to conceive. As a woman suffering from infertility (who also participated in fertility treatments in order to conceive), I find it refreshing when a celebrity comes foward and reveals their struggle with infertility. Particurly because Hollywood is all about the illusion of perfection; so admitting any imperfection (infertility, plastic surgery etc) makes that star seem flawed. Also, it’s helpful to know that someone else has experienced something similar to what I have.
“The question is – Is there any final boundry? or Do they have any boundaries? ”
Yes. It’s called, “That paycheck isn’t big enough”.
I like her the best of the family, too — which isn’t saying much.
Some women still feel a stigma is associated with fertility problems. Maybe these are the kind of things we should be more willing to discuss. I think her open attitude when people question her about having children might be helpful to other women. No need to hide or struggle alone it’s ok to talk about….just my opinion.
Khloe has not gained weight. Khloe looks the same, she still has a fat face.
wow, thats quite rude. Some people tend to gain in their face (I’m one of them). I wish that it wasn’t that way, I’d rather gain in my stomach or something.
I can’t believe people just sit on the internet and rip others apart about their physical looks. Do you want her to be like her family and get a ton of plastic surgery to lipo her face? Clothing and life choices are fair game for us to comment and make fun of. Physical appearence is not. I hope you feel really good about yourself, sitting on a blog about celebrities and discussing their chubby cheeks.
Well said, Franny.
Not only does shea have a fat face but she is so ugly. Can’t stand how she thinks she’s so cute . UGLY,BOSSY, LOUDMOUTH, B*tch,
I don’t think this is “sad news”. They haven’t been able to conceive, and they want a kid, so they’re taking the matter into their own hands and trying IVF. Good for them, hope it works! 🙂
As someone who had to take the matter into their own hands to conceive, I really appreciate this comment. Thank you for your positivity, Agnes!
Aw, I hope she gets her babies… she IS cool, despite having the most annoying sister (who is SO mean to her).
I thought Klhoes marriage was crazy fast but on the show they acutally seem very in love!
I love Khloe.
I’m rooting for this one. She seems sane. Ok, also fame hungry but not as bad as Kim. I tend to think she’s more intelligent and authentic.
I also don’t think it’s sad news. They can afford IVF; a lot of couples who are really hoping for a baby don’t have that option.
Oh no! Godzilla baby!
Meh she wants a baby like she wanted a husband. For the money she can make off exploiting someone else when her own arse isn’t enough.
I must like her so much because she is not really a “Kardashian”.
Side note: Wasn’t Kris Jenner over 40 when she had her last two daughters? It’s not all that shocking that it took her and Bruce a while to conceive.
I hope she’ll be able to have a baby, one way or the other. Team Khloe!
Have you heard the blind doing the rounds that Khloe has just been told that she was the result of her mothers affair?
Re the IVF, it is awful and heartbreaking when people struggle to concieve so I do wish them good luck with this
Yep and I don’t think anyone’s surprised given how different she looks from Kim and Khloe and how similiar she looks to Kendall and Kylie.
If it’s indeed true then I hope Khloe isn’t just now finding out about all this. I really hope her mother was decent enough to tell her long before now.
She’s getting ready for IVF by taking prenatal vitamins? That’s what everyone who’s trying to conceive is supposed to do. If she was preparing for IVF she’d be taking injectables and getting ready to harvest ovum for fertilization and implantation. The mail needs research how these things work in order to make their stories more believable. Taking prenatal vitamins doesn’t mean one is undergoing IVF. Kaisers weight gain explanation is more plausible and lends more credence to the IVF theory, since a known side effect of injectables is weight gain.
Spot on. Pre-natal vitamins aren’t all that different from regular daily vitamins – less vitamin A and more calcium and folic acid, I believe. They certainly don’t contribute to weight gain. If the girl is gaining weight, chances are she has started IVF already.
I like this one and have hopes that the younger 2 might be redeemable. I truly hope IVF works for them so many couples struggle with infertility and not as many have the resources to all the options.
As far as hoping she’s not a Kardashian, I feel the need to point out that the most negative parental influence/gene comes from Kris. It seems it’d be better to be switched at birth or have a father who stepped out on Kris and they adopted the love child (in Khloe’s case, she looks too much like the younger 2 for me to believe she isnt Kris’ though). Kardashian or not, Kris Jenner being your mother/raising you is the life/moral decaying factor that can bring one to ruin.
Poor Khloe, I like her too. Her name isn’t even Kardashian anymore anyway, it’s Odom. Kardashian is still her middle name though.. shudder. I feel really bad for Khloe, I can’t imagine it was easy growing up with two incredibly petite sisters who are considered very beautiful (pre-surgery). I think it’s really nice that she has a good marriage with Lamar, and I don’t think anyone saw this lasting. I hope that Khloe has lots of babies and a happy marriage.. everything that Kim will never have because she’s a selfish, self-obsessed famewhore. Also.. I really want them to address this paternity drama. I remember in one ep of the kardashians she got a MATERNITY test because she didn’t believe she was related to her sisters. Yeah, she probably isn’t, but I’m pretty sure Kris Jenner is her mother. However, it’s probably a very sensitive issue as her ‘dad’ has passed away.
I love Khloe. She and Lamar are the only ones who aren’t completely dumb and insufferable. Katface Kim treats her like a dog, she’s so jealous. Team Odom all the way.
Did you see the last episode where that katface selfish brat was screaming at Khloe for waking her up during her beauty sleep so she could say goodbye and all that brat did was scream and then call her other sister to scream some more and said the nastiest things about Khloe. Of course Khloe being who she is will end up forgiving that brat. I believe that brat Kim is jealous of Kloe for being happy and having a successful marriage and husband and not a Neanderthal for a spouse. I loathe Momma Kris and Kim.
The language she used was appalling. I don’t get on with my sisters, but I wouldn’t go quite that krazy.
I agree! Kim was just nasty for no reason at all. She is such a mean bitch. She acted like a child. And who sends the kind of mean text to someone that she sent to Khloe?! I think Kim goes off on Khloe because she knows that no matter what she does or how she looks she will never be as good of a person as Khloe or have a man who adores her like Lamar adores Khloe.
I thought it was just me, but isn’t the “F” word bandied about too casually? Is this how they speak in Los Angeles, or is just that these people are trash? Don’t get me wrong, I put out an epithet every now and then, but would be horrified to hear this within the family constantly. What about the influence on the two teen aged daughters and the little Mason? Do they not realize that the way to influence children is to be circumspect with the swearing, etc. These people may have money, but they are not well bred by any means, and would not be welcome in my home. And! The Mother is an ordained minister! Of what?
I just saw that episode (my second episode I’ve watched ever of them – the first was Khloe and Lamar). I couldn’t believe how horrible Kim treats her sister! She probably wouldn’t have reacted like that at all if Kourtney woke her up. I agree 100% with Kaiser that I like Khloe enough to want her to NOT be a Kardashian.
just so she knows that a baby will NOT hold them together–but I guess it will garner more money in the end. all is not as good as it seems w/her and lamar, she knows this.
the delusion, smdh
I’m not a fan and I don’t like any of them, but I do know the pain of wanting to conceive and not being able to. So I wish her luck in this.
She keeps in touch with het step-children via Twitter? Is this normal?
I keep in touch with my stepdaughter via Facebook and phone calls. Not really that unusual. She an awesome young lady, BTW.
I like Khloe out of the bunch. I just hope she gets out from under the rest of those katfaced witches. I think she will be a wonderful mother provided Kris is not allowed to get her hands on that child. However, I have major ethical issues with in-vitro I think it’s the first step of science messing with nature and it contributes to overpopulation. I wonder why Khloe and others don’t consider adopting?
I can only speak for my specific situation, but we did IVF to have our daughter (after researching EVERY option!) because it was the safest for me medically, and it was actually less expensive than a private adoption. We briefly considered foster-to-adopt, but I couldn’t bear the thought of having a baby in my home for nearly 2 years & then having a parent meet the requirements to regain custody. It also wasn’t likely I’d be approved, since I have epilepsy w/seizures that come on w/no warning. Believe me, when you do IVF because you HAVE to, you consider every option.
When you research adoption and I mean really research it, you find that it’s not a win-win-win situation for all involved. I used to think there could be nothing but good intentions with it and that is what the industry would have you believe. And in regards to IVF, I have never understood that position. Isn’t most modern medicine ‘messing with nature’? Transplanting organs, actually stopping a beating heart to replace diseased arteries, babies surviving at 24 weeks gestation… that’s just as much messing with nature.
Why isn’t it okay for a couple to want their own biological children? Adoption is lovely but also quite expensive (sometimes moreso than many types of infertility treatments). Also, with adoption you are potentially taking on a child with long term medical issues (children whose mothers didn’t receive prenatal care or did drugs while pregnant or have illnesses that could be passed on to the children). These factors are within our control when we carry our own children. These are only some of the reasons why carrying a child may be preferred to adoption.
@Jackie Modern medicine issues like organ donation and disease are different because diseases are constantly evolving to work as population control methods. Germs evolve, disease evolves and we will eventually have to deal with that.
@MorticiansDoItDeader As a child who was adopted I find your attitude rather offensive. There are many healthy children in the foster care system who are passed by because of people who have an attitude like yours. Your attitude suggests that children that are not biologically your own are inferior and it’s a growing attitude that I find troubling. I am all for reforming the child welfare system to make it easier for parents to adopt (adopted parents deserve access to the child’s records so they know what they are getting into). Who knows where I would be without my wonderful parents who raised me as their own. Unfortunately, I see your attitude as the prevailing one and between that and a lack of change in the laws to make adoption more accessible and easier for people, I see a lot of children who will suffer because of it.
Please tell me you are holding the Duggars to the same standards.
Absolutely. I’m very much a believer in having 2 kids max.
It’s nice to hear that you have chosen to have no biological children. You couldn’t possibly have children and believe that people who undergo fertility treatments are wrong, could you?
Adopting is NOT easy OR cheap. In fat, it’s more expensive than IVF–IVF with a money-back guarantee, even. Also, the waiting lists for babies and preschoolers in the US is HUGE and it is VERY difficult to get selected. People who don’t want their children mostly abort them, you see. And international adoption is increasingly difficult and expensive, averaging more than $25,000 a pop now.
Add to this your general idiocy on the subject of “overpopulation”–there IS NO overpopulation. The first world is suffering from a DECLINE in in birthrate below replacement rates, and the world’s population will begin shrinking by the end of the century, with no foreseeable change in the future.
Also, you should not use any medications or any medical facilities or professionals. That’s “messing with nature,” too. And the world would really be better off if idiots like you died, anyway.
As far as your imaginary babies in foster care, waiting to be adopted–there are NONE that are not SEVERELY impaired. There are older children whose parental rights have been terminated, but along with that comes the difficulties of raising extremely damaged children, as well as choosing to miss out on a good chunk of the kids’ childhoods. Learning disabilities and low IQ are extraordinarily common among older faster care children–about 80% of those on adoption websites are receiving psychological counseling, special education services, or both, and a number have extremely difficult to hand behavioral disturbances.
To blame someone for wanted their own, biological child–something you can probably have with no problems and will most likely feel self-righteously justified in doing at some point–is absurd and hateful.
First time here but I had to intervene: As a mother of 5 children all of whom are adopted from the state allow me to bring in some facts:
1)There are plenty of healthy children in foster care. All of my children were brought to my home were less than 6 months old. They are all physically healthy and thriving. My worst on going medical issue has been with my middle son who has been diagnosed with ADHD but we are dealing with it (without medication). The biggest problem is that many parents who wish to adopt are looking for a certain type of child (my round about way of saying caucasian child). Many children in foster care of other races are sadly overlooked. My husband and I are caucasian but we did not care about the race of any child we adopted. 3 of my kids are African American the other 2 are either Latino or Native American. All are extremely happy well adjusted children.
2) My husband and I never toom a state stipend as we did not need it. However, I estimate our adoption legal fees over the years cost around 10k for all 5 of our kids, that 2k a child. I n the end it all depends on how you choose to adopt. My husband and I have had a wonderful experience but there are many pitfalls. It also depends on the state. Fortunately, I live in a state where they make it very easy to foster to adopt.
@LeeLoo while some of your comments were brash. I applaud you for speaking up on reforms to the system.
@MimiR Before you accuse others of hateful speech I would look carefully at what you are saying. The poor girl was only stating her opinion. You don’t have to like it but calling them an idiot and telling them to go off and die seems hardly appropriate. Plus some of your comments could be seen as absurd by others. You can count me in.
@leeloo, I was equally (if not moreso) offended by your position. Telling me, and others here who’ve undergone fertility treatments, that we’re “messing with nature,” is tantamount to calling our children unnatural. You’re suggesting that I’m implying that children who are not biologically my own are inferior (which I’m not). Yet you’re implying children who are conceived via IVF are unnatural and people who have more than two children are irresponsible. You’re so quick to take offense, yet you’re painting with a much broader brush than I. And to be clear, I don’t think other people’s children are inferior. I was merely saying I can control certain factors (ie. receiving adequite prenatal care, eating right, and not poisoning my body) when I carry my own children that I can’t with adopted children.
I really like her and think they’re the real deal. Best of luck to them.
I wish this woman was not sisters to Kim Kardashian. Seriously, I would like her if she wasn’t
I think Khloe and Lamar make the cutest couple. They seem very real and like they have a solid marriage. And I absolutely love Khloe. I really hope she gets pregnant, because I think she’ll be a great mother. Kim is such a huge mean bitch to her, I am rooting for Khloe to have a very full and happy life, something Kim will never have.
Oh, Khloe. It bothers me, though, that this magazine cover detailing what we presume is Khloe’s heartbreak is based on a rumor (though I suppose they all are; foolish me!). It was “reported” that she started IVF… Also, how old is she? Have they been trying for a baby 2 years straight? I don’t know the exact definition of “infertility” (i.e. how long you have to try before being considered infertile), but it seems that going to IVF is jumping to conclusions… some people just take longer.
ETA: ok, I looked it up, and infertility is defined as the inability of a couple to conceive naturally after a year of trying. I think that’s kind of silly, personally, but what do I know. I do know several couples who conceived after several years. Seems like a moneymaking scheme – “OK, your year is up; now shell out the big bucks!”
Her mom doesn’t care! “Just put em’ on the cover! Whatever!” It’s sick.
I am sure if you were trying to conceive for two years, you wouldn’t think it was “silly.” There are also other fertility treatments which work (depending on the situation) and are far cheaper than IVF. The facts are that we don’t know if there is something medically wrong with either of them or not and that it really shouldn’t be anyone else’s business how they create their family.
behold the power of the Kartrashian PR machine. They really think the public are a bunch of dummies don’t they? KRis Jenner: “Ok girls since we know the public is sick of Kim, you other girls have to start workin’ it to keep us in the spotlight!”
You notice how Kourtney or Khloe never made the covers by themselves before..before anything! They just never did.
So obvious.
Why doesnt she adopt? They really are working the other 2 sisters now that everyone hates Kim.
Khloe , I’m cheering for you for a healthy pregnancy. – I also wish you can change your look… hair , make up and cloths and not look like so much as the other sisters. I just would like to see you in your own style. You’re very pretty and unique. Let your self shine and be who you really are..more than a Kardashian ! Time to break out and rule your world!
O.K. I will admit it: I had bets that Khloe’s marriage wouldn’t last one year. Yeah I lost. It seems that her marriage is actually real. She seems the most “normal” out of the whole group. I don’t watch their show but I know how sad it can be for ANY woman who wants to get pregnant and can’t so I wish her and her husband good luck.
I only like Khloe, so I’m rooting for her. When you desperately want a baby and can’t conceive, it’s heartbreaking. I do feel for her and hope she and Lamar have that family, either by pregnancy, adopting, or surrogate.
God can’t make it any more obvious: No procreation for you! Love your step children and nephew if want to quench your mommy thirst.
That is SUCH an ignorant statement.
Adopting from within the U.S. means that you do get access to records and find out a child’s medical history and if they have specific needs. Good luck getting any of that info if you’re adopting internationally from certain countries. I’ve heard horrible stories of people who adopted a child from Russia without being told of severe issues stemming from abuse and neglect in that child’s life, causing the child to be violent and unable to give or receive love (having never experienced it before) without intense, long-term therapy. Certainly these children need loving families, but families should be informed upfront of potential challenges – and they ARE in the U.S.
Don’t force it. Let it happen when and if it should happen.
