Khloe Kardashian has laughed off new claims that her biological father is Lionel Richie, after a US magazine insisted her mum, Kris Jenner, had an affair with the hit-maker back in the 1980s.

Yesterday, In Touch reported that the Kardashian sister’s real dad was not Robert Kardashian, but was in fact the Dancing On The Ceiling singer.

Blogger Jacky Jasper told the mag: “Kris had an affair with Lionel - and I believe he is Khloe’s dad.”

Kris, who has been open in the past about the fact she cheated on Robert during their marriage, has also shot down questions over Khloe’s paternity, telling GMA in 2012 that she’d “never heard such crap in my life”.

“I was there, right. I gave birth, I know who the dad was. Everything’s good. We’re all good. It’s the family joke because Khloe was blonde and not dark-haired,” she added.

It’s not the first time eyebrows have been raised about who Khloe’s ‘real dad’ might be – at one point, lawyer Robert’s most infamous client OJ Simpson was put forward as the potential father.

Khloe as a child

Khloe herself brought up the subject during one episode of* Keeping Up With The Kardashians*, and went as far as to arrange DNA tests for herself. After having a heart-to-heart with Kris, however, she decided that she didn’t need to know the results.

Of the most recent claims, 30-year-old Khloe is in no doubt that Lionel Richie is, er, not what she’s looking for. (Sorry – we had to.)

She spoke to Gossip Cop to say: “I’ve had so many dads my head is spinning lol.”
