1. Their favorite place to vacation

Kim loves traveling with her family, and one of her favorite places to visit is Punta Mita, Mexico. Kim enjoys the sunshine and stunning beaches in Punta Mita so much that she stayed there during her honeymoon with Kanye West.

Dad is famously tightlipped about what he likes to do in his free time. When asked where he likes to vacation, Dad’s only answer is “Wherever Mom wants.”

2. Where they went to high school

Kim graduated from Marymount High School, a Catholic school outside of LA. She is still close with her high school friends Amber, Simone, and Amanda, and recently posted pictures with them at her 20-year high-school reunion.

Your dad grew up in Ohio, in a suburb somewhere outside of Cleveland. According to a google search, there are approximately thirty-two high schools in the Cleveland area. Unfortunately, Dad’s only anecdote from high school is that he was on the baseball team, which gives us no further information to narrow down a location.

3. Who their best friend is

Kim is close with all of her sisters, but in the past few years she has felt the closest bond with Khloe. Outside of the family, Kim’s best friend is food influencer Jonathan Cheban, who often joins her for events or vacations.

The position of Dad’s best friend is a tough call between his college roommate Dave, your Uncle Brendan, and your neighbor Peter. Which man clinches the top spot is impossible to decide, as Dad does not actively keep in touch with any of them. While Dad spends the most minutes per year chatting with your neighbor Peter, he has remarked in the past that Peter is uptight about his lawn.

4. What they did between the ages of 20 and 30

After graduating from high school, Kim became an assistant for Paris Hilton. She spent the next few years running the LA Boutique “DASH” with her sister Khloe, before the start of Keeping up with the Kardashians. Since then, Kim’s daily life has been carefully documented by both the show and social media.

After graduating from college, your dad’s life is a mystery up until he married your mother. No information exists on where he lived, where he worked, what he did for fun, or what he looked like at the time.

5. What they do for work

Kim describes herself as a fashion and beauty entrepreneur. Although she made her first millions from Keeping up with the Kardashians, today most of her income comes from her businesses KKW Beauty and Skims.

While Dad offers the occasional anecdote about his coworkers, both your siblings and Mom are at a loss about what his job actually entails. Dad has previously hinted that his job involves excel spreadsheets, meetings, projects, and a boss. It is believed by some that Dad works in tech, while others insist he works in insurance or for a bank.

6. Who they dated before marriage

Kim Kardashian has had high-profile relationships with celebrities like Ray J, Nick Cannon, and Nick Lachey, and has been married to Damon Thomas, Kris Humphries, and Kanye West.

It is unclear at this time whether Dad dated anyone before Mom. When asked about his dating history, Dad said, “Why do you want to know? Did your Mother put you up to this?”

7. Why they decided to have kids

Kim often gushes about motherhood and the love she has for her four children: North, Chicago, Psalm, and Saint. In interviews, Kim said that having children has been the most rewarding experience of her life.

Whether or not your dad wanted children is up for debate. At times, Dad seems to very much regret having children, like when you are roughhousing in the back of the minivan or when you spill stuff on the carpet. At other times, he seems thankful for an extra hand to hold the flashlight while he unscrews something underneath the sink. Despite an intense investigation and a consultation with Mom, much remains unknown about this elusive man. Although details about Dad’s personal life are lacking, what you do know about your father is that he always saves you the last cookie, is never late picking you up from soccer practice, and tells your Mom to take it easy on you when she’s mad. And that’s something Kim Kardashian could never do.
