Speaking to GQ Magazine<\/strong> as she covered the 28th annual Men of the Year issue<\/strong>, Kim revealed that she often seeks the advice of mediums and uses them to reach out to her dad, who passed away on September 30, 2003 at just 59 years old, following a battle with esophageal cancer.<\/p>\n A devout Christian who did not approve of the idea of mediums and psychics, Kim explained that her dad was left feeling they were “full of s–t” when he did meet with one who told him the “Kardashian name would be internationally known.”<\/p>\n Little did he know, the medium’s prediction would come true just years after his death, when the family launched their E! reality series, Keeping Up With the Kardashians<\/em>.<\/p>\n Despite his dismissal, Kim has and still does turn to mediums for reassurance, and explained how her dad had reached out to her during one of her sessions.<\/p>\n “My dad had a chip on his tooth and I always said, ‘Dad, get a bonding and fix that tooth.’ He’d just laugh and say, ‘Kimberly, no one sees it. It’s fine,'” she recalled.<\/p>\n Kim then explained how at one reading she had a chipped tooth herself, and the medium had told her, ‘Your dad is laughing at your tooth.’<\/p>\n Caught by surprise, the moment only reaffirmed Kim’s belief in the medium’s abilities, telling the outlet, “Who would know that? It was nothing that was on the show. It was nothing that I had ever said out loud.”<\/p>\n “Those kinds of things just make me smile inside,” she added.<\/p>\n Kim has often spoken about her close relationship with her late father, most recently sharing a special tribute to the famed attorney on what would have been his 79th birthday<\/strong>.<\/p>\n “It’s almost getting to the point where I’ve had to remember you longer than I’ve known you,” Kim wrote in part in a February 22 post on Instagram.<\/p>\n “It’s been 20 years since we’ve celebrated your birthday here on earth,” she continued. “But I will take it because I had the best dad in the whole wide world and am so lucky I had 22 years with you.”<\/p>\n Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.<\/p>\n![](\"https:\/\/images.toofab.com\/image\/74\/5by4\/2023\/11\/09\/74f77438e993466b8607f3f386a32982_xs.jpg\")
