Kim Kardashian took a trip down memory lane as she shared a never-before-seen photo with her late father Robert Kardashian on Sunday.

The reality TV star, 44, shared a touching throwback on Instagram, featuring her as a young girl with her late father, who passed away at 59 from esophageal cancer, alongside her mother, Kris Jenner, 69.

The image saw Kris with her arms around Robert, both of them smiling at the camera, along with their daughter. 

‘Dad, Mom and Me,’ the SKIMS founder captioned the post. 

Kris and Robert were married from 1978 until they divorced in 1991. Together, they had four children: daughters Kourtney, 46, Khloe, 41, and son Rob, 38, along with Kim.

Kim, who recently attempted to acquire a family keepsake linked to her father but was unsuccessful, was 22 when he passed away in September 2003.

In 1998, seven years after his divorce from Kris was finalized, Robert married Jan Ashley; however, the marriage ended in annulment 30 days later.

After dating for three years, the Los Angeles native married his third wife, Ellen Pierson (née Markowitz), six weeks prior to his death.

Meanwhile Kris married Olympic decathlete Caitlyn Jenner (formerly Bruce), 75, in 1991, shortly after her divorce from Robert was finalized. They had two daughters together, Kendall, 29, and Kylie Jenner, 28.

Kim is currently studying to become a lawyer, like her father.

In May, she completed her law school program after a six year journey. She still needs to pass the Bar Exam to practice law in the state. 

In 2020, Kim said she hoped that her father would be ‘so proud’ to see her pursuing a career in law and says whenever she gets ‘frustrated’ with studying, she thinks of him.

‘He must’ve been going through some of the same things that I have gone through. It would have been exciting to talk to him about that, and I know that he would be so, so proud,’ she said.

Kim has been working on prison reform in recent years, and hopes setting up her own law firm will help get former inmates into work.

In March, Kim’s attempt to purchase a family heirloom connected to her late father was rejected by O.J. Simpson’s estate.

The estate’s executor, Malcom LaVergne, revealed that they, sadly, had to turn down her $15,000 offer on the Bible her dad gifted Simpson, who died on April 10, 2024, because it was ‘too late to purchase it outside the auction.’

It comes after Kim's $15,000 offer to purchase the Bible her dad gifted to O.J. Simpson was rejected in March. The Bible featured a handwritten note inside, penned by Robert to Simpson

LaVergne revealed to TMZ that Kim’s team contacted him the month prior, after learning some of Simpson’s personal effects were going up for auction.

This included a Bible, featuring a handwritten note inside, penned by Robert to Simpson.

The inscription reads: ‘OJ, this book will help. God loves you and he will speak to you with his words. Read this book every day. God has a definite plan for your life. You are His child and He will use you again. I love you and God loves you. – Robert.’

LaVergne previously revealed that the bible was given to ‘The Juice’ while he was in jail after his two-hour chase across Southern California in his white Ford Bronco.

Inside the front cover, there contains an inscription to Simpson from Kardashian that is dated June 18, 1994 – exactly a day after the former NFL star’s arrest.

In an email sent to LaVergne from Kim’s team, he was informed that due to the ‘sentimental value’ the item held to Kim, she was ‘willing to offer $15,000’ to purchase the Bible.

By the time he received the email, LaVergne says the Bible ‘was already under contract and court order to be sold to pay off O.J.’s debt.’

Just weeks after the late NFL star’s estate turned down Kim’s offer to buy it, the family heirloom officially sold at auction for $65,800 — or $80,276 with its buyer’s premium, according to its listing on Goldin Auctions’ website.

Kris was married to Robert from 1978 until their divorce 1991. Aside from Kim, they also welcomed daughters Kourtney, 46, and Khloe, 41, as well as son Rob, 38

The item received 49 bids total.

Robert, a devout Christian, and Simpson met in the 1960s or 1970s while they were both at the University of Southern California (USC).

Later, they reconnected while playing tennis at a mutual friend’s house.

Robert infamously supported Simpson during his 1995 trial for the murders of his ex-wife Nicole Brown Simpson and her friend Ron Goldman.

Despite defending Simpson during his trial, the men ended up falling out following Simpson’s acquittal.
