Khloé Kardashian Won't Accept 'Shame' For Having Nannies For Two Kids: 'It Takes A Village!'
The American socialite has two children, a daughter named True, 7, and a son named Tatum, 2, with her ex-boyfriend, Canadian professional basketball player Tristan Thompson.
The public once slammed Kardashian for admitting that she was exhausted when her live-in nanny was away.
Khloé Kardashian Gets Honest About Needing Help With Her Children
During a recent episode of her podcast, "Khloe in Wonderland," the reality star openly discussed her struggles with co-parenting, parenting, and mom guilt. She also touched on a topic she usually isn't open about, nannies.
The "Good American" co-founder said that parents always have some form of help raising their kids. As such, she doesn't understand the reason for shaming people who hire nannies to help out.
Khloé said on the podcast, "People that talk sh-t about nannies, we all have help in some capacity. You can call it daycare, you can call it a school, you can call it in-laws, your mother, sister, [or] whoever. A babysitter."
She continued, "For some reason, the term babysitter people find way less offensive than a nanny. I don't know why. We're all blessed, and it takes a village to raise a family."
The mother-of-two concluded, rebuking the "shame" given to parents that have some form of help. "There is no shame in that," she declared.
The Mother-Of-Two Was 'Exhausted' Without Nannies
While rare, this isn't the first time Khloé has admitted to needing help with her children.
During a May 2024 episode of 'The Kardashians,' she briefly touched on the topic during a discussion with her sister, Kourtney Kardashian.
Khloé explained that at the time, Thompson, with whom she co-parents, was away in Ohio. Additionally, she didn't have nannies to help with the kids at night, and the stress of caring for the children all by herself was taking a toll on her.
The reality star admitted, according to The Sun, that she often crawled into bed at the end of each day due to exhaustion. In her words:
"It's the weirdest thing. Because you're exhausted and you're like, I'm gonna die, and then literally when they're asleep by 10, I'm like I miss them. Like, get it together, Khloé, snap out of it."
However, fans did not have any empathy for her plight. Instead, they criticized her for complaining when she should have been grateful for having help.
"But she has a nanny all day .....something most moms don't have the luxury of," one harsh comment read.
The Reality TV Star Stood By Her Decision to Sell Her Children's Used Clothes
Khloé is no stranger to facing backlash from the public for her decisions. Earlier this year, she was also criticized for selling her children's used clothes online.
The founder of 'Khloud Popcorn' had advertised some of her son's clothes online, stating that she was putting them up for sale because he had outgrown them.
She also shared a link to her online shop, 'KardashianKloset,' where fans could purchase other used items. The post was met with heavy backlash for selling the clothes rather than donating them.
However, Khloé expressed no guilt about her decisions. An insider stated that the mother of two only saw it as a smart way to recycle and make a profit without being wasteful.
True Thompson Suffered A Health Scare Just Last Year
As much as Khloé strives to provide a safe and homely environment for her children, it isn't always a smooth ride. Her seven-year-old daughter suffered a health scare just last year over the holidays.
The 41-year-old told her Instagram followers that her two children had fallen under the weather shortly before Christmas.
While Tatum was able to get back on his feet in time for Christmas, True wasn't. When speaking on the situation, the media personality said that it was 'really scary.'
Khloé Shares Raw And Honest Conversation With Her Brother, Rob Kardashian
Khloé, a family-oriented person, not only dedicates her time to her children but also to her siblings, especially her only brother, Rob Kardashian. The pair is known to share a special bond.
During last week's episode of her podcast, she had a brief discussion with the 38-year-old on why he chooses to stay out of the limelight, unlike the rest of the Kardashian-Jenner clan.
While on a call with Rob, she pointedly asked him if his decision to stay under the radar was due to bad blood between him and his sisters.
According to The Blast, he said that there was no animosity between him and his family members. However, he simply chooses to remain low-key because he isn't comfortable enough to be vulnerable on camera.

Dos Equis and Fuerza Regida Have Partnered With Mexican American Artists for a Collaborative Capsule
Since 2015, the musica mexicana band, Fuerza Regida has brought their musical flair to Southern California and beyond. Through YouTube videos and local shows, the five-person group eventually became a cultural force – the band just recently released 111xpantia, an album that quickly topped the Billboard, Spotify, and Apple Music All-Genre and Latin Album charts and is currently the number one streaming band globally on Spotify. 1 of 2 2 of 2 Fuerza Regida's sound blends traditional música mexicana including subgenres like corridos, banda, and norteño — with global influences such as house and hip-hop, creating a bold new sonic identity. But their artistry goes deeper than just the music — their identities pave the way for other Mexican-American artists to shine. Another iconic force within Mexican culture, Dos Equis, teamed up with the group to amplify their message of spotlighting Mexican-American creatives. As part of the beer brand's latest 'Ni Perdon, Ni Permiso' campaign, celebrating the power of unapologetic self-expression through music, art and style, Dos Equis and Fuerza Regida have released a collaborative line of limited-edition merch developed by Mexican-American designers and artists, inspired by the band's authenticity. - Styling by Jose 'Imagine' Trasviña 'Ni Perdon, Ni Permiso' empowers artists to 'Own the Stage' in the same way that Fuerza Regida has with unbridled expression. The phrase, which means 'Neither forgiveness, nor permission,' is a commonly used adage within Mexican heritage; it's a call to action to stand confidently in your creative beliefs. For this project, Dos Equis translates this message through the mediums of music, art and fashion. - Styling by Jose 'Imagine' Trasviña The collection was teased at a recent private show in Houston, as the band performed in custom vests made by Mexican- American designer Jose 'IMAGiNE' Trasviña and fashion pieces designed by Bryan Escareño were on display. The rest of the collaboration's assortment are available to fans through an auction hosted on All proceeds from the auction will be donated to the Mexican American Opportunity Fund (MAOF), a nonprofit that reflects the shared commitment of Dos Equis and Fuerza Regida to uplifting the Mexican community. Chosen by the musical group, this charity supports Latino communities in California — bringing aid back to the roots where their journey first began. 'Working with Dos Equis to build this movement has been so inspiring, and we're excited to show our fans the next chapter of our partnership through these unique pieces that really embody the unapologetic spirit of the 'Ni Perdón, Ni Permiso' campaign,' said JOP of Fuerza Regida. 'Even more, being able to give back to an organization like the MOAF through this campaign is extremely rewarding given the direct impact it makes on the community that raised and supports us to this day.' Follow Dos Equis on Instagram and online for exclusive behind-the-scenes content, fashion collaboration reveals and more opportunities to engage with the 'Ni Perdon Ni Permiso' movement.

How Katy Perry Feels After Her Date With Justin Trudeau: It's 'Uncharted Territory'
THE RUNDOWN One week after Katy Perry and Justin Trudeau's date, a source told Us Weekly that there is romantic potential between them. The source detailed how Perry feels about dating again following her recent split from Orlando Bloom. The intel comes days after sources spoke to People about Perry and Trudeau's connection. Katy Perry and former Canadian prime minister Justin Trudeau went viral for their three-stop Montreal outing—a park walk, followed by dinner, and then drinks—a week ago. Today, a source told Us Weekly that yes, they were 'definitely on a date'—and that Trudeau and Perry had been in contact for weeks leading up to their rendezvous. The source explained that the relationship is new: '[The date] was casual. They had been in touch for the last month and have a few mutuals in the music industry.' (Trudeau's son, Xavier, is a rapper.) Still, the experience of dating again—particularly a former head of state—is 'uncharted territory' for Perry, who announced her split from ex-fiancé Orlando Bloom last month, after dating him since 2016. 'This is all new to her as she hasn't dated in so many years, and it's been exciting to put herself out there again,' the insider said. 'Katy is excited to move on but isn't looking for anything serious.' With her Lifetimes Tour ongoing, she 'doesn't have a lot of extra time right now' but still 'agreed to see' Trudeau during her break in Canada, the source noted. Multiple sources spoke to People this weekend about Trudeau and Perry's connection, noting the challenges they might face if they continue seeing each other. They have potential though, a Canadian source said: 'They are interested in each other, but it will take a while to see where this goes. She is traveling around the world, and he is figuring out his life now that he is no longer prime minister of Canada. But there is an attraction—they have a lot in common.' 'Music is one of many things they can share,' the insider added, noting that they 'both are idealists and still live in a world where they think they can make improvements, although it has gotten more difficult.' But the obstacles facing their romance are very real, the source admitted: 'Their own personal responsibilities could make this relationship move slower than it would, but there are ways to see the other and still fulfill their parenting responsibilities [both Perry and Trudeau share children with their exes]. For one thing, they each have an ex. So, duties are split in half. And long-distance relationships, while still hard, are possible for these two.' A second Canadian source told the outlet that Trudeau is 'playing it low-key' on purpose as he and Perry figure out what's best for them. '[The] timing seems good for them, although a romance is in very early stages,' the insider said.

Hennessy and Anti-Smash Burgers Reign Supreme at After Ours
Portland's first chef-driven vinyl bar is set to open Thursday, August 7. It's called After Ours and it comes courtesy of a Portland culture-making hat trick: chef Richard Le of Mémoire Cà Phê, Kim Dam also of Mémoire and her coffee business Portland Cà Phê, and Mikey Nguyen of consignment store wunderkind Index. The intention was to create a space where they and other chillers in their 30s could hang out, listen to music, and eat. Rather than gaming-centric bars or places designed for social media engagement, Le says the idea is to put your feet up and relax. It's a moody space, low-lit and dim. The deep love of music is apparent — Madlib's Lord Quas posts up in all his yellow glory across the wall of records from Lauryn Hill's Unplugged singing visage. Of course, the menu alone will be the main draw for many. There's an all-day menu with hits from Le's food cart Matta, plus a dinner menu to pair with inventive drinks, courtesy of Ketsuda 'Nan' Chaison of Norah and Libre. Salt and pepper squid, garlic noodles, and fried rice rule the day. Chicken and catfish sandwiches, burgers topped with egg, add to the menu, too, all dishes Le served at his cart in the past. He says the main demographic he and his co-owners serve remains white people, so they focused on playful renditions of hegemonic American food that serve as conversation starters. Christine Dong Christine Dong There'll be brunch, too, Portland Monthly waxing on California-style breakfast burritos and avocado toast done up like a bahn mi. The sharing-style dishes at After Ours reflect Le, Dam, and Nguyen's households growing up, where drinking and snacking were a nightly affair. Friends and family sat on bamboo mats and ate plate after plate of duck liver, fried and grilled meats, all of it chased with bottles of Heineken and glugs of Hennessy. 'We want to have that same kind of energy,' Le says. 'We won't have people sit on the floor. But the menu is built around that.' Here are a few of the standout dishes to fire. Tavern burger Le was raised in the Bay Area, and he says his love of burgers is a powerful love. In-N-Out is his heart song. So he says coming into After Ours, he's ready to ditch the smash burger and get back to the basics. Four-and-a-half ounce patties get pressed on the grill, but not flattened, to maintain a nice crust from the pressure while retaining the juice — in this case, a fish sauce the beef marinates in for hours. It arrives stacked with American cheese (the 'king of cheese' according to Le) and a house-made aioli the team is calling seksy sauce (pronounced 'sexy'), a riff on Vietnamese sauces. This signature sauce is a medley of scallions, lime juice, herbs, garlic, and more. 'Everyone and their mom is doing a smash burger,' Le says. 'I don't want a crispy piece of paper.' Pho Christine Dong Le reminds guests that, at the end of the day, this is a bar. That means late-night hours and late-night fare. Enter the Hanoi-style pho. Le says that it looks like thicker rice noodles with a heartier broth, on the fattier side. Once people get Portland drunk — that means by 11 p.m. — this dish is meant to make landing the sober plane a bit more doable, as many will be in bed by 12:30 a.m. There's both a chicken and beef version, but Le stresses there are no bean sprouts or chefed-up herbs on top. 'Just the pho, maybe scallions and cilantro, charred lime wedge, and fish sauces and chiles,' he says. 'Really simple, and really high flavor and impact.' Saigon Old Fashioned Little would some know, but Nguyen is an unofficial Hennesy ambassador. According to Le, he drinks Hennesy exclusively, going so far as to chase other drinks with the famously luxe ambrosia. After Our's Saigon Old Fashioned is a nod to that devotion. Served with a big ice cube, the otherwise straight-up Old Fashioned relies on the cognac rather than rye or bourbon. Portland Monthly also noted salted lime gin and tonics and lychee martinis are on deck here, too. After Ours (2226 NE Broadway) is open 9 a.m. to 10 p.m. Sunday through Wednesday and 9 a.m. to 2 a.m. Thursday through Saturday. Kim Dam, Mikey Nguyen, and Richard Le are making the chill bar they wanted in Portland at After Ours.
