Early life and education: Studying life itself

Khalyla was brought up alongside her sister Julianna Kuhn where they were born, by their Filipino mother Marites Kuhn and Egyptian father of unknown name and profession.

As evidenced by her choices in adolescence, Khalyla was always interested in how organisms function, coupled with a growing penchant for general wildlife. As for her education, she attended an unspecified high school in her birthplace, from where she matriculated in 2002. She then enrolled into a certain university, apparently in the Philippines, and studied biochemistry there, graduating with the relevant major in 2006.

Career: Trying many things

Khalyla began working when she was 17 years old; although the specifics of her early professional engagements are unknown, she did perform various jobs, such as waiting tables and selling food on the street.

After graduating, Khalyla started tutoring children who studied anything related to the vast field of biochemistry, which mostly relates to chemistry, biology, physiology, microbiology and anatomy. Khalyla also worked at a university at this point, but some five years later left for the US. Kuhn was unable to find work in the fields she studied for in her new country, and so she again took up various jobs to make a living, so that even prior to meeting Bobby, Khalyla had a stable income and even a beach house. She kept this job during the early days of their relationship (supposedly anywhere between 2010 and 2015), was eventually invited to co-host the new upcoming podcast “Tigerbelly” created by Bobby himself, and featured in its first release in September 2015.

The success of “TigerBelly”

Approximately a year after the podcast’s inception, “TigerBelly” was taken in among the other All Things Comedy (ATC) podcasts, which greatly contributed to its popularity, and thus Khalyla and Bobby’s income.

Bobby and Khalyla are yet to tell the public exactly when they met, but the how was revealed during an unconventional interview. The YouTube show “Hot Ones” provides its viewers with very specific answers from numerous celebrities, given while they are eating chicken wings encrusted with various kinds of spicy sauce, ranked from mildest to hottest. Around the beginning, Bobby was asked to identify the girl he was photographed laying on in a fruit loops bath, to which he replied ‘That’s my girlfriend.’ He subsequently stated that they met on Tinder, and that he sent her a few pictures from the set as an ice breaker.

They are believed to have entered a relationship right after their first date, and have been going strong ever since. Khalyla and Bobby married without telling a soul at some point in 2016, at a church in New York – apparently not even their closest relatives attended. They don’t have children, but live together with their brown dog in Southern California.

Akira belongs to the group of many influential figures from the entertainment business who have had a say in the podcast, and have aided its increase in ratings.

March 2018 proved to be a troublesome time for the pair, as controversy was sparked following the public’s outrage at a particular “TigerBelly” episode, in which Khalyla jokingly stated that she only married Bobby for his income, actually related to a number of previous statements in the podcast. This rumor was popularized by those who weren’t fans of the show, and simply took what was stated as a serious claim. To address the (supposedly) shocked public, Khalyla posted on Twitter, stating ‘I had a good job, a nice home by the beach, amazing friends, a humble but comfortable life, all carved out before I met Bobby.

I’ve been self sufficient since I was 17. Yet, all of who I am has been reduced to a 40 second clip taken out of context. Ok internet, you win, I’m heartbroken.’ The rumor later subsided due to an obvious lack of evidence, and as Khalyla and Bobby are considered one of the most loving wedded couples in show business.
