Khloe Kardashian expresses heartfelt support for her personal trainer, Gunnar Peterson, following his announcement that his four-year-old daughter has been diagnosed with cancer. Peterson, known for training celebrities like Jennifer Lopez and Kate Beckinsale, shared the news on Instagram, revealing his daughter’s diagnosis of AML leukemia. He called for prayers for his daughter as she undergoes chemotherapy and a bone marrow biopsy. Khloe, a mother herself, reached out with empathy, offering her support and prayers to Gunnar and his family, acknowledging Monroe’s resilience and expressing her readiness to help in any way she can.
Khloe, a mother of two, commented on Gunnar’s Instagram post, describing his daughter as a ‘warrior.’
Gunnar also posted a photo of his young son lying in the hospital bed alongside him and Monroe.
Accompanied by a photo of himself lying beside Monroe in her hospital bed, Gunnar began his heartfelt caption with a forewarning that it would be different from his usual posts. He described the sudden turn in their lives, starting with Monroe’s seemingly innocuous symptoms— a persistent cough, sporadic fever, and unusual bruising on her legs—prompting a hospital visit by his wife.
The diagnosis unfolded rapidly: plummeting white blood cell count, depleted platelets, low hemoglobin, and a dire need for transfusions. The medical journey ahead included a bone marrow biopsy, flow cytometry, spinal taps, and chemotherapy, culminating in Monroe being eligible for Make-A-Wish.
Gunnar expressed disbelief at how they arrived at this juncture and vowed to share more updates as they navigated through the ordeal. Despite the challenges, he emphasized Monroe’s resilience, dubbing her their “Warrior Princess” who was determined to conquer the battle.
He appealed for support, asking for thoughts and prayers for Monroe and their family, acknowledging the unpredictable nature of life’s trials. Gunnar concluded with gratitude, recognizing the outpouring of support they had already received and promising to extend his thanks as their journey unfolded.

Their mother Kris Jenner added, ‘My family and I are praying for your baby G. We love you all so very much and lifting her up in the name of Jesus.’
