The duo explained that Robert had doubts about being Khloe’s father toward his final years.

“Khloe is not his kid. He told me that after we got married.” Jan Ashley said to the magazine, adding that, “He just kind of looked at me and said [it] like it was a matter of fact. He said, ‘Well, you know that Khloe’s not really a Kardashian, don’t you?’ And I said…’OK,’ and that was it.”

On the other hand, Ellen told the magazine that, “Khloe brought it up all the time. She looked nothing like the rest. She was tall, had a different shape, light hair, curly hair. Didn’t look anything like the other three children.” They also added that Robert was aware of Kris’s infidelity during their marriage, and Ellen said that her late husband had told her that he wasn’t even sleeping with Kris when she got pregnant with Khloe. Ellen went on to add that Robert disregarded the idea of a DNA test because he loved Khloe very much.
