Who is Kim Kardashian's father? Reality star pays tribute to Robert Kardashian on his death anniversary

Robert Kardashian, a known face in business and law, came into the spotlight in 1994 as he stood by his close mate, O.J. Simpson, during the famous case where Nicole Brown Simpson and Ron Goldman were killed. Beyond his law job, Robert made strides as a businessman. He helped start the trade magazine, Radio and Records, and set up firms like Movie Tunes, which played music in movie theaters before the show.

He was married to Kris Jenner from 1978 to 1991. They had four kids: Kourtney, Kim, Khloe and Rob Jr. His family often recalled him on social media, reality shows, and during public appearances. In July 2003, he was diagnosed with throat cancer and died two months later in November. He was 59.

Since then, his family has honored his life with personal tributes and his lasting mark through initiatives like the UCLA Robert G. Kardashian Center for Esophageal Health, a testament to his work, achievements, and profound impact on their lives.
