How Old is Khalyla Khun?
Khalyla Kuhn’s current age is 39 as she was born on the 31st of October 1984. Though several online sites list her as an American citizen, Kuhn was actually born in her home country, the Philippines, precisely in Cebu. She is of mixed ethnical background; her mum has Filipino roots, while her dad came from the US; he had Egyptian ancestry.
Named Khalyla Shangra Kuhn at birth, Khalyla is the daughter of Маrіtеѕ Кuhn – a low-income earner who met and fell in love with an American businessman in the Philippines. It is not clear if she eventually got married to the man, but he left her with three daughters to train. Khalyla’s dad remained an absentee father throughout her formative years as her mother brought them up as single a parent on her meager salary.
Though Khalyla Kuhn grew up with three sisters, only two (Јulіаnа Кuhn and Khawinda Kuhn) are known; her last sister’s name has never been mentioned in the public space. Marites is of Christian background, and she trained her children in a Christian way.
At a point in their lives, Marites managed to save enough funds to relocate her family to the United States, and that was where Khalyla Kuhn and her sisters completed their formative years.
Kuhn is a current resident of the United States. An animal lover, she has a special love for dogs and has been rescuing abandoned dogs and cats, which she put up for adoption via her socials. It was while saving and finding homes for these strays that she met her pet dog, Gobitron, who has stayed with her for a while. She has even added a second dog to her household.
Khalyla’s Academic Journey
While growing up in Cebu in the Philippines, Khalyla attended Cebu International School. According to her, her high school experience was far from enjoyable, as no one liked her person. The hate she experienced during her adolescent age made the young lady become rather too shy and constantly shut herself away from the world.
Though we were not intimated with exactly when she commenced high school, Khalyla Kuhn matriculated in 2002. However, after matriculating, she couldn’t proceed to college immediately because of her mother’s scarce resources. This led the blossoming podcaster to strike out on her own in a bid to find money to sponsor her university education.
She eventually got a menial job in the catering industry, where she was employed as a waiter. With this job, the determined Khalyla was able to mop up some funds, which saw her into the university the next year.
Though the name of the institution of higher learning she favored has never been disclosed, it is common knowledge that Kuhn opted to study biochemistry as a major. Khalyla’s choice, according to reports, stemmed from her childhood interest in the functional life of organisms and a liking for general wildlife, and it came as no surprise that she would tow that path.
Eventually, she accomplished her university graduation with a B.sc in biochemistry in 2006
Khalyla Kuhn Started Working at Age 17
Khalyla Kuhn was just 17 when she started taking up paid employment. Though she never intimated fans with the specifics of her early work engagements, reports said she worked various menial jobs, from waiting tables at a beach bar to hawking food on the streets of Cebu.
The Filipino lady had obviously landed on American soil as a university graduate and so faced with the difficulties of securing a job in her field, she decided to start tutoring students. Kuhn taught subjects like chemistry, physiology, biology, microbiology, anatomy, and other courses associated with biochemistry
At a point in her tutoring gig, Kuhn got a job at a university, but the capacity in which she was employed has never been stated. By the time she left teaching to move into entertainment, Khalyla Kuhn had tidied up enough income, providing herself with basic amenities, including a beach house where she resided. All these happened before she met and married Bobby Lee.

Leveraging their channel on YouTube, the duo created the podcast known as TigerBelly, which launched its debut release a couple of months later, in September 2015. The podcast does not only air on YouTube; fans can also view it on iTunes on Thursdays for both channels.
The type of issues discussed on TigerBelly cuts across topics like culture, аdоlеѕсеnсе, business, entertainment, racism, sexuality, politics, еthnісіtу, and thе Аѕіаn-Аmеrісаn іѕѕuеѕ. Some of these topics can be quite volatile, which arouses curiosity on the part of their viewers, attracting both traffic and censure.
The popularity of TigerBelly started growing after Khalyla Kuhn and Bobby Lee began hosting comedians and actors, including the likes of Jordan Peele and Eric Stonestreet. The couple also invited other celebrated podcasters and YouTubers for collaborations which proved to be greatly successful.
The success of TigerBelly encouraged the celebrity couple to establish a second podcast named Trash Tuesday and had to launch a second YouTube channel for the show. Out of their two podcasts, TigerBelly has proved to be more successful. It was barely one year old when it got listed among ATC (All Things Comedy) podcasts; this boosted its popularity a great deal, impacting the couple’s bank balance

Born on the 18th of September 1971 in San Diego, CA, Bobby is the son of Robert and Jeanie Lee.

He had to battle teenage delinquency and ended up addicted to weed and methamphetamine. However, he managed to get clean in the long run and launched his career in the entertainment industry.

Khalyla Kuhn Once Triggered a Serious Controversy with her Utterances
A short while after they became man and wife in 2016, Khalyla Kuhn went on air to make some remarks that were tagged highly controversial by fans and the general public. According to the words of the Filipino-born social media star, she wouldn’t have hitched Lee if he wasn’t rich.
It goes without saying that this kind of blatant derogatory utterance did not go down well with many of Bobby’s fans. Kuhn’s comment triggered a rumor that started spreading on social media platforms, and before long, the critics tagged her as a gold digger.
Many who went digging came up with the fact that Kuhn was truly digging the gold in Bobby Lee as she loves to live the expensive life surrounded by plush automobiles, state-of-the-art electronic devices, classy clothes and jewelry, expensive vacations, and lives in mansions.
When the speculations became unbearable for Khalyla Khun, the social media sensation started making effort to douse the rumors. She told fans she was just cracking a joke. Through her Twitter handle, the YouTuber stated that she was already comfortable prior to meeting Bobby. She said she owned a beautiful beach house, was living a humble but comfortable life and had amazing friends before meeting her husband.
Going further, she narrated how she became self-sufficient at the age of 17 and regrets how all her life efforts have been reduced to what she described as a “40-second clip” that was taken way out of context. Describing her then-emotional state as broken, Kuhn congratulated the internet that it won. The lack of evidence later led the speculations to subside, and the couple continued living their normal lives.
