On Friday (June 21) Khloé Kardashian posted a selfie to Instagram that left some of her fans scratching their heads in confusion. Why? In the ‘gram, she looks dead-on like her sister, Kim Kardashian. Although the Kar-Jenners definitely look like sisters, they don’t tend to look much like doppelgängers of each other—it’s usually not super-difficult to tell them apart. But with this pic, even we did a double-take: Whether it’s Khloé’s long blond hair or it happens to be the angle she’s posing in, the Good American co-founder is basically a mirror of Kim in the picture.
The photo shows Khloé in a blue scoop-neck tank, arm behind her head, looking off into the distance. She didn’t have a lot to say about the pic herself: For her caption, she just dropped in the dog print emoji. Then again, she didn’t have to say much: Fans immediately began commenting about her resemblance to Kim.
“Is this kim or khole i cant tell,” one follower commented.
“I honestly couldn’t tell which kardashian this was for a moment, I had to look at the name,” another wrote.
“I legit thought this was kim,” another declared.
Meanwhile, one fan noted the pic looks like a combination of both sisters. “Khime perhaps?” they wrote.
The resemblance is uncanny, no? For comparison, here’s Kim with Kris below.
It’s not just Kim who Khloé could potentially twin with, either: Khloé and younger sis Kylie Jenner have done adsfor their cosmetics collaborations highlighting how similar they can look. Still, it’s not that often the twinning realness hits quite this level.
Kim Kardashian and Kanye West welcomed their fourth child, a son named Psalm, via surrogate on Friday, May 10. The beauty mogul has kept mum about the latest addition to her family since then, but she broke her silence on Monday, June 10, posting a photo of baby Psalm to Instagram.
“Psalm Ye,” she captioned the pic, which shows the little guy sleeping in an adorable white onesie. So this means, presumably, that Psalm’s middle name is “Ye,” a.k.a the nickname of his famous rapper father.
Check out the cute snap for yourself, below:
Kardashian previously posted a photo of Psalm sleeping in his crib, but she deleted it after critics pointed out that it’s unsafe to put so many soft items in a newborn’s sleeping area. (According to Today, Psalm’s crib in the photo was adorned with padded bumpers and blankets, among other loose items.)
Psalm is the second child Kim Kardashian and Kanye West have welcomed via surrogate. Kardashian turned to this option after she developed a condition called placenta accreta following the birth of her son, Saint. (For those who don’t know, placenta accreta happens when the placenta grows too deeply into the uterine wall.)
“My doctor had to stick his entire arm in me and detach the placenta with his hand, scraping it away from my uterus with his fingernails,” Kardashian wrote in her blog about the condition. “My mom was crying; she had never seen anything like this before. My delivery was fairly easy, but then going through that—it was the most painful experience of my life! They gave me a second epidural but we were racing against time, so I just had to deal.”
She’s also opened up about her decision to use surrogate, knocking critics who say it’s the easier alternative to naturally conceiving. “Anyone that says or thinks it is just the easy way out is just completely wrong,” she told Entertainment Tonight.”I think it is so much harder to go through it this way, because you are not really in control.”
I tolerate pain pretty well, but those sharp twinges really hurt. “It’s actually the ultrasound gel popping,” he tells me. “Like if you put oil in a frying pan, and the oil pops.” I squirm, but I’m determined to be as tough as I can in the name of a firmer jaw line.
Thankfully, the pain lasts only for a moment, and by the time I feel like I can’t take much more of it, he’s moved the laser on to a different part of my face. I’m normally a talkative patient, but even I’m not up to being too chatty. This is new to me.
I know what you’re probably thinking: If you’re going to submit yourself to any kind of pain—what does it cost? The price differs depending on who you go to, but Dr. Dugar says it’s around $800 a session for your face (Exilis laser skin tightening can be performed on other body parts as well). Like with most procedures that recommend multiple treatments, the more you sign up for at a time, the lower the cost. So far I’m just doing one session, but if I notice a visible difference, I’ll consider coming back for more—pain be damned.
Dr. Dugar likens the frequency of visits to when you were a teenager and could go to the gym once a week and stay in shape. Of course, as we age and metabolism slows, it takes more effort to maintain your physique. Dr. Dugar says I’ll see results for a few weeks at least with one treatment. After that, “the key is repetitive treatments”—usually one a month, for anywhere up to six to 10 sessions. It’s costly, but perhaps not much more than if you swap out bi-weekly facials, regular blow-outs, and expensive skin creams.
About 20 minutes later, the whole thing was done. He says he spent eight minutes on each side of my face with the laser, applying the highest intensity of the wattage to treat my jowls and jaw line. This is done in order “to get a little bit more stimulation of the collage to tighten.” My face is pretty red, but Dr. Dugar says that will reduce dramatically over the next few hours.
While Exilis prides itself on no downtime, I also wouldn’t necessarily want to go out to a big event or on a date the same night. If there was ever an excuse to stay in and watch TV, this is it. Still, Dr. Dugar tells me that I shouldn’t be afraid of doing my nighttime skin routine. “You can do everything normal because this is not a resurfacing laser,” he says.

Before I leave, Dr. Dugar applies a gold cooling mask to help calm my skin (which in all fairness, was breaking out pretty bad these last few days). The cooling sensation is so calming I’m tempted to stay here all day. Also, I look like C3-PO.

I say my goodbyes and thank Dr. Dugar and his staff; he says to call or email with any questions, and instead of pushing a second treatment on me, he says to take a few weeks to see how I like the results. It’s up to me if I want to continue for more. By the time I get to my car, I notice the redness in my face has disappeared quite considerably. (I’m still sticking to my plan of ordering in and watching TV, though).

The next day, aside from a patch of red skin near my chin, there’s barely any noticeable trace of the treatment. And if I forgot to mention, once the treatment was done, any sharp pain that I felt was gone. So if you can tolerate a few seconds of extreme heat, you’ll be OK.
The morning after the Exilis 360 laser, with just a bit of redness by my chin. The treatment is not recommended for anyone pregnant, or with a metal implant, like a pacemaker.

By the afternoon, I’ve applied a full face of makeup and as crazy as it sounds, I actually feel that my face is a bit firmer. It looks it, too. I feel like I’ve gone off to some five-star resort and spa for the week, and I honestly can’t remember the last time I said that (or even meant it). In other words, I’m a fan.
On May 10, Kim Kardashian West and Kanye West welcomed their fourth child, via surrogate. Upon his arrival Kardashian tweeted, “He’s here and he’s perfect.” Now, a week later, Kardashian West has revealed the name of her new son: Psalm West.
In true Kardashian style, the reality star shared her baby’s name on Instagram. Kardashian West posted a screenshot of a text from her husband that read, “Beautiful Mother’s Day. With the arrival of our fourth child. We are blessed beyond measure. We have everything we need.” The photo was simply captioned, “Psalm West.”
The West’s are known for their unique baby names (along with the rest of the Kardashian clan.) But the name Psalm is in keeping with the biblical theme they drew from to name their older son, Saint West, 3. Psalm also joins his older sisters. North West, 5, and Chicago West, 1, whose names both come from a more geographic origin. And while fans were here for baby West’s name, many took to Twitter to express their confusion over how to properly pronounce it.
According to People the West’s long had a name in mind for their son, “but wanted to meet the baby before they decided.” Kardashian West also told Jimmy Kimmel, “I usually go about three or four days nameless until I feel like it really connects with the baby.”
And while Psalm might have the name most similar to Saint, Kardashian West has made it very clear that he’s the most like his sister Chicago. She called Psalm, “Chicago’s twin.” “I’m sure he will change a lot but now he looks just like her,” she wrote. But from what we can tell of Kardashian West’s photos, Psalm looks like a happy and healthy newborn.
Congratulations to the Kardashian West clan. Bible, we think this is your cutest baby name yet.
On Saturday, April 27, Kim Kardashian threw a CBD-themed baby shower ahead of the birth of her and husband Kanye West’s fourth child (this one’s arriving via surrogate). But rather than host an all-out extravagant bash (as Kardashians are wont to do), she decided to have a chill, stress-free get-together that included meditation, massages, a sound bath, and a variety of CBD-infused treats.
In a video posted to a fan Instagram account, Kardashian can be heard explaining why opted for a low-key party this time around. “So, because I’m freaking out and the baby is coming in, like, two weeks, I thought what better way to celebrate than to have a little CBD,” she told her guests.
“It’ll only be 10 minutes, but I thought it would be, like, cool for us to do… Let’s zen out on a Saturday,” the mom-to-be continued. “I thought it was kind of ridiculous to have a fourth baby shower. But I thought, I’m freaking the f**k out having a fourth kid.”
“So everyone have a puff and put on some oil,” Kardashian added.
Her guest list included her mom Kris Jenner and sister Kourtney Kardashian, as well as famous friends Chrissy Teigen, Larsa Pippen, Paris Hilton, and Jen Atkin. Teigen was one of the many attendees to document the party on her own social media, including one video that sees her sitting cross-legged on her mat as she awaited her sound bath.

The reality star’s 5-year-old daughter, North West, was also there.

As for the party favors, each person in attendance was given their very own navy blue Yeezy slides. The party also featured a name board where Kardashian’s pals could write down what they think she’s going to call her little one. Some guesses included “King West,” “Wolf West,” “High West,” “Knight West,” and “Harut West.”

Guess we’ll have to wait to see what the couple’s final choice is, but it’s safe to say the countdown is on.
