What don’t we know about the Kardashians? From their relationship statuses and pregnancies to the smallest parts of their daily habits, social media users, fans, and pretty much everyone in between seems to be keeping up, whether they like it or not.
In part, this is due to the family’s TV show, "Keeping Up With the Kardashians," which has essentially turned them into household names. Despite their notoriety, it turns out that there are actually quite a few things about the Kardashian family and their show that aren’t exactly public knowledge.
No, that was most likely not actually the moment Khloe Kardashian found out she was pregnant.
In the scenerevealing her pregnancy, Khloe found out that she was pregnant with an at-home test, presented it to her assistant Alexa, and then said she’d be waiting and keeping it a secret until announcing it at a family barbecue. As sweet as the moment was, Khloe had been pregnant for at least a few months and was most likely very much aware of it during filming, according to Kardashian expert and TheCut.com writer Mariah Smith.
The scene in question was filmed in October, Smith reported, months after the barbecue in question. It’s likely that Khloe didn’t have cameras present when she actually found out or wanted to keep the moment private.
In fact, some scenes, including Kim’s engagement to Kris Humphries, have been reshot or rehearsed.
According to court documents during Kris Humphries and Kim Kardashian’s very messy divorce trial, “Keeping Up With the Kardashians” producer Russell Jay admitted that at least two scenes directly related to the estranged couple’s relationship had been reshot. These scenes included those in which Kim and her mom discussed the divorce, Kim discovered a party in her hotel room, and Kris’ proposal, which they decided to redo because Kim allegedly didn’t like her initial reaction.
Despite this, Kim and Kris’ wedding episode remains the highest-rated in the series.
Before it began, names for the series included “Kardashians: Krazy With A K” and “Living Kardashian.”
Before the series first aired on October 14, 2007, producers were at a loss for what exactly to name the show.
In an interview with the Hollywood Reporter, Damla Dogan, the senior vice president of development and programming at E!, said that several titles had floated around for the series, but none really stuck.
Finally, when Farnaz Farjam, the vice president of programming at Bunim/Murray, showed up to a meeting without any ideas, she said she was “too busy keeping up with the Kardashians” as an excuse. It was a hit.
“I came up with it on accident because I was living it,” Farjam said.
