Questions people ask
Who is Khalyla Kuhn?
Khalyla Kuhn is a podcaster best known as Bobby Lee’s co-host on TigerBelly, the comedy podcast whose own description calls it a no-holds-barred arena featuring “comedian Bobby Lee and his best friend Khalyla,” per its feed. Famous Birthdays lists her as an Instagram star recognized as TigerBelly’s co-host. She also co-hosts Trash Tuesday with comedian Esther Povitsky, and she is the founder of the hair care brand Ebb Ocean Club, which launched on May 15, 2024, per Glossy.
Is Khalyla Kuhn still on TigerBelly? Why did Khalyla leave TigerBelly?
As of November 2026, Khalyla Kuhn has not left TigerBelly: the show’s feed and its Apple Podcasts page still describe it as featuring Bobby Lee and his best friend Khalyla, and we found no announcement from her or the show that she has stepped away. She is named in 2026 episode notes, including The Hawaii Interrogation (April 8, 2026), where “Bobby and Khalyla quickly turn it into an interrogation,” an episode with Matteo Lane and Nick Smith on May 27, a crew episode on July 15, and a Hawaii family episode on September 16, 2026. Many weekly notes name only Bobby and the guest, so the notes alone do not show which episodes she sat in on. In February 2026 Beauty Independent still described her as TigerBelly’s co-host and reported that she lives in Hawaii.
What happened to Bobby Lee and Khalyla Kuhn? Why did they break up?
Bobby Lee and Khalyla Kuhn ended their relationship in 2022 and announced it on their own show, in TigerBelly episode 355, Bobby & Khalyla Break Up, published July 6, 2022. Famous Birthdays says they began dating in 2013 and broke up in 2022, and in May 2024 Glossy described TigerBelly as co-hosted with “her ex-boyfriend,” Bobby Lee. We found no accepted outlet that reported a reason for the breakup, so we do not give one. Professionally, nothing ended: they still make TigerBelly together as of November 2026, and Bobby Lee has guested on her other show, Trash Tuesday, as recently as August 4, 2026.
Why did Bobby Lee and Khalyla Kuhn divorce?
Bobby Lee and Khalyla Kuhn did not divorce, as far as any source we accept shows: Famous Birthdays describes them as a couple who dated from 2013 to 2022, and Glossy called him her ex-boyfriend in May 2024. We found no record of a marriage. Their 2022 breakup is covered in the question above.
What happened to Khalyla Kuhn? Where is she now?
As of November 2026, Khalyla Kuhn is still podcasting every week and running a hair care brand. She co-hosts Trash Tuesday with Esther Povitsky, whose feed bills her as a “seasoned podcaster, entrepreneur and part mermaid”; its latest episode came out on October 27, 2026. Her brand, Ebb Ocean Club, launched direct to consumers on May 15, 2024 with products at $21 to $26, per Glossy, and went on sale online at Sephora on February 10, 2026, with a rollout to 50 stores planned for the spring, per Beauty Independent. The same report said she lives in Hawaii, which matches the TigerBelly family episodes recorded there in April and September 2026.
What is Ebb Ocean Club, Khalyla Kuhn’s hair care brand?
Ebb Ocean Club is a reef-safe hair care brand founded by Khalyla Kuhn with Jina Kim and Chris Young, per Glossy, which reported on May 15, 2024 that it launched with a shampoo, conditioner, detangling spray and repair mask. Beauty Independent reported on February 10, 2026 that the brand had soft-launched in 2024, raised an undisclosed angel round from family and friends, priced its products under $30 and landed online at Sephora. Kuhn told the outlet the idea came from wanting products “that could keep up without damaging my hair or the water I lived in.” The brand’s site sells the line directly.
How old is Khalyla Kuhn?
Khalyla Kuhn is 42, born October 31, 1984, per Famous Birthdays.
What is Khalyla Kuhn’s real name?
Khalyla Kuhn is the name she uses on both of her podcasts, on her brand and in trade press such as Beauty Independent; Famous Birthdays lists no other name. Her handle on Instagram and X is @khalamityk, and TigerBelly’s episode notes call her Khaloko, as in a September 16, 2026 episode with “Bobo, Khaloko, Jules & Gilbo.” Some outlets misspell her surname as Khun.
Where is Khalyla Kuhn from?
Khalyla Kuhn was born in Cebu, Philippines, per Famous Birthdays, and Glossy reported in 2024 that she grew up as a swimmer in the Philippines. TigerBelly recorded a three-part Cebu Special there in fall 2022, starting with episode 367 on September 28, 2022. As of February 2026 she lives in Hawaii, per Beauty Independent.

Khalyla Kuhn does not publish a number and neither do we.
Who is Khalyla Kuhn dating now? Does she have a baby, and who is the dad?
Not something we cover.
Who represents Khalyla Kuhn?
As of November 2026, no agent or manager is named publicly for Khalyla Kuhn that we could find. What is public: TigerBelly’s feed lists All Things Comedy as its publisher, Trash Tuesday’s feed gives an All Things Comedy contact address, and her brand, Ebb Ocean Club, is co-owned with Jina Kim and Chris Young, per Glossy. Ames Create does not represent her; we cover her because people keep asking whether she is still on TigerBelly after the breakup, and the answer is on the record in the show’s own feed. If that changes, this entry will say so.
Our read
Ames Create does not work with Khalyla Kuhn. This is our view, from a team that works on creator brands for a living.
The format. On TigerBelly she is the counterweight: Bobby Lee spirals, she steers, teases and keeps the episode from falling apart, and the show’s family episodes put the whole crew in one room. Trash Tuesday flips it, two co-hosts trading stories and dares with comedian friends, where she sets the tone instead of reacting to it.
Why it travels. Her name travels on the back of a story people already know: a couple who broke up on air in July 2022 and kept making the show anyway. TigerBelly’s channel carries about 1.03 million subscribers, and she told Glossy her advantage is that listeners hear her every week, adding “we don’t miss a week, we don’t miss the holidays.”
Brand fit. Ocean, travel and outdoor brands fit the life she shows, and her podcasts already run host reads for sponsors such as Shopify, Hims and PrizePicks. Beauty is the obvious lane, but she owns a hair care brand sold at Sephora, so a competing hair or skin brand is a hard sell. Both shows are explicit, which narrows the list for family brands.
