Kourtney Kardashian Honors Her Late Father Robert on His 80th Birthday through a Heartfelt Tribute

Kourtney Kardashian is taking a moment to honor her father, Robert Kardashian, on the occasion of what would have been his 80th birthday.

On Instagram, the founder of Lemme, aged 44, posted a touching tribute to her late father this Wednesday. Along with two childhood photos of herself and the well-known lawyer, Kourtney expressed, “Today would have been my Dad’s 80th birthday. I wish I could sing him Happy Birthday and hear one of his hilarious jokes one more time.”

She went on to say, “He had such a great sense of humor and made every moment in life so enjoyable, whether it was a car ride, a meal, or our weekly Wednesday night movie date where he would introduce me to a new old movie each week… he always made it fun and memorable. Happy Birthday to the greatest Daddy in the world.”

Messages of love and support flooded the comments section from Kourtney’s loved ones, including her husband Travis Barker who wrote, “Happy Birthday to your incredible Dad ❤️ He’s watching over you 🙏🏼.”

Kourtney’s mother, Kris Jenner, also responded, saying, “The most amazing father there ever was ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼.” Robert was born on February 22, 1944, and sadly passed away at the age of 59 on September 30, 2003, just two months after being diagnosed with esophageal cancer. He became well-known for assisting his friend O.J. Simpson during the trial for the murder of Nicole Brown Simpson, his ex-wife. Robert and O.J. became friends while attending the University of Southern California, and the former Heisman Trophy winner served as Robert’s best man at his wedding to Kris.

Robert and Kris were wedded from the summer of 1978 until the early months of 1991. During their time together, they were blessed with four children: their daughters, Kourtney, Kim, aged 43, and Khloé, aged 39, along with their son, Rob, aged 36.

Currently, Kourtney is enjoying her time in Australia with Travis as he embarks on the One More Time Tour with Blink-182. She’s been enthusiastically sharing their adventures on Instagram, giving followers a glimpse into their travels. Just recently, she posted some snapshots from backstage featuring her 11-year-old daughter, Penelope Disick, 9-year-old son, Reign Disick, and newest addition to the family, baby boy Rocky Barker.
