On June 27, Khloé Kardashian celebrated her 39th birthday, and she apparently can’t wait for this last year of her 30s to be over. The Kardashian‘s star stated how she’s been feeling about the past ten years while sharing pictures of some gifts she received from friends in her Instagram Stories.
In a video, she shared the birthday cards, a few bedazzled pens and a glittering passport holder, and a hair clip with her nickname emblazoned on it.
“I don’t love showing all my gifts because I think it’s sort of obnoxious, but this one was too funny,” she said over her collection of birthday baubles. “I hate being in my 30s, I think it’s the worst decade ever.”
She added, “And I cannot wait to be in my 40s.”
The past decade has definitely involved a lot of change. She spent the first few years of her 30s helping her ex-husband Lamar Odom recover from his addiction and filing for divorce. This was followed by a very publicly tumultuous relationship with NBA star Tristan Thompson. However, her relationship with Thompson produced her two children, her daughter True and her son Tatum.
For Kardashian’s birthday, her family stepped up with the tributes on Instagram.
“Happy Birthday to one of my favorite human beings @khloekardashian,” her sister Kim wrote. “Koko, you really are the definition of love, strength, and light! You bring life to any room you walk in! You protect your squad like none other. I’m so beyond lucky you’re my sister and I just couldn’t imagine adulting and parenting and just life without you! I will be by your side forever and ever. This is the last year of your 30’s so can’t wait to live it up all year with you!”
Her mom, Kris Jenner, also shared a loving message.
“Happy birthday to my beautiful bunny @khloekardashian!!!!” Jenner wrote. “Khloé you are the sunshine of my life… You are the most amazing daughter, mommy, sister, auntie, best friend, neighbor, and such a huge part of my heart!!!!! You are so smart, strong, talented, beautiful inside and out, kind, sweet, thoughtful, creative, funny, and witty.”
