Karlie Kloss reveals she’s relaunching LIFE Magazine with her husband Josh Kushner more than 20 YEARS after it was shut down by Time – saying it’ll be ‘an uplifting and unifying voice’

Karlie Kloss and her husband Josh Kushner have returned to publishing LIFE magazine regularly.

The supermodel and her billionaire investor husband, who is the brother of Jared Kushner, have acquired the iconic Dotdash Meredith brand through their company Bedford Media.

LIFE magazine, first published in 1883, was closed more than two decades ago by Time Inc.

Bedford Media said in a statement that they will relaunch the brand as a print magazine with a digital and video presence.

“We see LIFE as an uplifting and unifying voice in a chaotic media landscape,” Kloss told The Hollywood Reporter.

“While Bedford is a new media company, we are deeply inspired by LIFE’s iconic legacy and its ability to connect diverse audiences with universal narratives of humanity.”

The couple’s media company previously acquired iD Magazine from Vice Media last year.

Time founder Henry Luce acquired Life in 1936 and gave it the look and editorial agenda that made it one of the country’s most famous publications.

Some of the historic covers include Marylin Monroe, The Beatles and The Man on The Moon.

Time Inc closed the operation in 2000 and Dotdash Meredith acquired it in 2021.

Kushner said in a statement: “LIFE’s legacy lies in its ability to blend culture, current events and everyday life, highlighting the triumphs, challenges and unique perspectives that define us.”

Under the agreement, Bedford will now manage all of Life magazine’s editorial operations.

Meredith, for her part, will continue to own all rights to the LIFE archives, including photography and print content.

The company will also continue to publish its single-thematic magazines for the LIFE brand.

Kushner, who will be editor of LIFE, is the founder of the venture capital firm Thrive Capital.

The couple, who has been married for more than five years, share two children.

He also has the distinction of being a minority owner of the Memphis Grizzlies of the National Basketball Association (NBA).

After spending their early years together in New York City, the couple has been enjoying the spoils of their success living in an eight-bedroom beachfront property in Miami with their two children.

Their relationship dates back about 11 years, when they met and shortly after began their romance in June 2012.

After almost six years of dating, the couple announced their engagement in July 2018.

They married in upstate New York in October and then decided to renew their vows in a second ceremony in Wyoming in July 2019.
