From all of her children, she has 12 grandchildren.
Early life
Jenner was born in San Diego, California, on November 5, 1955, the elder of two children born to Mary Jo "M. J." Shannon (née Campbell; born 1934), who owned a children's clothing store, and Robert True "Bob" Houghton (1931–1975), an engineer.[1][2][3][4] When she was seven years old, M. J. and Bob divorced, and she and her younger sister, Karen Casey (née Houghton; born 1958), were raised by their mother. M. J. would eventually remarry, to businessman Harry Shannon (1926–2003), who helped raise Jenner and her sister. By her mother's marriage to Harry, she gained a half-brother, Steven "Steve" Shannon.[5]
Three months after moving to Oxnard, California, Shannon's business partner allegedly left with all the company's capital, so the family moved back to San Diego.[6] In San Diego, Jenner worked at Shannon & Company, a children's clothing store that belonged to her mother.[7] Jenner attended Clairemont High School[8] and graduated in 1973.[9] In 1975, Jenner lost her biological father Robert Houghton in a car crash at nineteen years old.[10] She worked for American Airlines as a flight attendant for a year in 1976.[11]
Career
Television
Jenner met with Ryan Seacrest in 2007 to pursue a reality television show based on her family. Seacrest, who had his own production company, decided to develop the idea, having the popular family-based show The Osbournes in his mind. Jenner further commented on the possible series:[12]
Like, there's the little girls, and there's the older girls, and then there's my son. [...] Everybody thinks that they could create a bunch of drama in their lives, but it's something that I felt I didn't even have to think about. It would be natural.
The show eventually was picked up to air on the E! cable network, with Jenner acting as the executive producer. The series focused on the personal and professional lives of the Kardashian–Jenner blended families.[13] The series debuted on October 14, 2007 and became one of the longest-running reality television shows in the country.[14]
The series was successful for its network, E!, and has resulted in the creation of numerous spin-offs[15] including Kourtney and Kim Take Miami (2009), in which Jenner has made multiple guest appearances.[16] Jenner was also featured as a recurring cast member in Kourtney and Kim Take New York, which premiered in January 2011. Also in 2011, Jenner made an appearance in her daughter's show, Khloe & Lamar when it debuted, and the series focused on Khloe Kardashian and her then husband Lamar Odam's personal life and relationship.[17] On March 26, 2014, E! announced a Keeping Up with the Kardashians spin-off series titled Kourtney & Khloé Take the Hamptons. The Hamptons follows Kourtney, Khloé, and Scott Disick as they relocate to The Hamptons while the girls work on the New York Dash store plus open a pop-up store.[18] The show also featured their family including Jenner. In 2017, Jenner's youngest daughter Kylie, featured as the central cast member for the E! reality spin off series Life Of Kylie.[19][20][21]
Jenner hosted a pop culture-driven daytime talk show, Kris. The series began its six-week trial summer run on several Fox-owned stations on July 15, 2013.[22]Kanye West, her then-son-in-law through his marriage to Kim, revealed the first public picture of Jenner's granddaughter North West on the show. The show's six-week trial run was not extended.[23]
In 2015, Jenner appeared as a recurring cast member in six episodes of the E! reality series I Am Cait. The show followed the journey of her ex husband Caitlyn Jenner's (formerly Bruce) gender transition.[24][25][26] Even after their 2015 divorce, they continued to co-star on Keeping Up with the Kardashians together with their children.
In 2021, Jenner and her family announced that their reality show, Keeping Up With the Kardashians, would be ending after twenty seasons and almost 15 years on air.[27][28][29] The final (twentieth) season premiered on March 18, 2021.[30][31]
In April 2022, Jenner and her family returned to the television screens with their brand new reality television show, titled The Kardashians, after they left the E! Network to join Hulu.[32][33][34] The show features Jenner, alongside her daughters Kourtney, Kim, Khloe, Kendall and Kylie, it also features ex and current partners including Scott Disick, Travis Barker, Tristan Thompson, and Corey Gamble, with Kanye West making a guest appearance.[35] The first season premiered on 14 April 2022, and its ten episodes can be streamed exclusively on Disney+.[36][37] Later in 2022, the show was announced to be returning for a second season, which officially premiered on 22 September 2022.[38][39][40] In late 2022, it was announced that the show had been officially renewed for a third season, set to premier in the first half of 2023.[41][42][43] The third season officially aired on 25 May 2023.[44][45][46]
Business
Jenner runs her own production company, Jenner Communications, which is based in Los Angeles. Since before the start of Keeping Up with the Kardashians, she has managed her daughters' Kim, Kourtney, Khloe, Kendall, and Kylie's career. She also is involved with the business management of her other daughters and son. She has been involved in the launch and an instrumental guiding force of their successful family brands including Kylie Cosmetics, Kylie Skin, KKW Beauty, KKW Fragrance, Skims, Good American, 818 Tequila, SKKN by Kim and Arthur George.[47]
Jenner opened a children's boutique in 2004 with her eldest daughter, Kourtney. The boutique was called "Smooch" and was open for almost six years before closing down in 2009.[13][48] In 2011, Jenner launched a clothing line, Kris Jenner Kollection with QVC.[49][50] Jenner had previously sold exercise equipment with QVC in the 1990s.[51]
In 2014, Jenner and her youngest daughter Kylie founded a company called Kylie Lip Kits (now Kylie Cosmetics) and partnered with Seed Beauty, a retail and product development company co-founded by siblings, John and Laura Nelson.[52] The company's first product Kylie Lip Kits, a liquid lipstick and lip liner, debuted on November 30, 2015.[53] The first 15,000 lip kits were produced by Seed Beauty and funded by Kylie at a cost of $250,000 from her modelling earnings.[54] The company was renamed to Kylie Cosmetics in February 2016, and production was increased to 500,000 kits. By the end of 2016, the company's total revenue was over $300 million. On May 9, 2018, Jenner and Kylie announced their collaboration called the Kris Kollection via Kylie's personal Instagram. The Mini Lip Set in the Kris Kollection, which includes eight mini liquid lipsticks, is aptly named “Momager”, a title in which Jenner has personally taken on, and attempted to trademark, in recent years.[55] In addition to the "Momager" Lip Kit, the Kris Kollection includes lip glosses and a four pan pressed powder highlight/blush palette, which has created a lot of controversy online with both good and bad reviews.[56] The collection was released just in time for Mother's Day.[57]
In April 2020, Jenner teamed up with daughter Kim to launch a perfume collaboration titled KKW x Kris.[58][59]
Writing
Jenner's autobiography, Kris Jenner... and All Things Kardashian, was released in November 2011.[60] She later wrote a cookbook entitled In the Kitchen with Kris: A Kollection of Kardashian-Jenner Family Favorites, which was released in October 2014.[61]
Public image
Jenner has often been referred to as the "matriarch" of the family.[62][63] Dimitri Ehrlich of Interview magazine called her "the matriarch of the Kardashian-Jenner brood" and the "21st century's preeminent female pop-cultural brand-builder."[64] Jenner explained her operations as a businesswoman in her memoir Kris Jenner...And All Things Kardashian: "I started to look at our careers like pieces on a chessboard...Every day, I woke up and walked into my office and asked myself, 'What move do you need to make today?' It was very calculated. My business decisions and strategies were very intentional, definite and planned to the nth degree."[50]
Jenner has been featured on the covers of numerous lifestyle and fashion magazines, including CR Fashion Book,[65] Redbook, Cosmopolitan, Harper's Bazaar,[66] The Hollywood Reporter, Es Magazine, Variety,[67] New You,[68] Haute Living,[69] WSJ. Magazine[70] and Stellar.[71]
In 2023, Jenner appeared in the music video for American singer Meghan Trainor's new song "Mother", with Trainor describing her as "the mother of all mothers".[72][73]
Personal life
Marriages, relationships, and family
Jenner's first marriage was to lawyer Robert Kardashian (who later became widely known for his early legal representation of O. J. Simpson) on July 8, 1978.[74][75] They have four children: daughters Kourtney (born 1979), Kim (born 1980), Khloé (born 1984), and son Rob (born 1987). They divorced in March 1991 but remained close friends until his death from esophageal cancer in 2003.[76]
In April 1991, one month after her divorce from Kardashian, Jenner married her second spouse, retired Olympian Bruce Jenner, who publicly came out as a transgender woman in 2015, taking the name Caitlyn.[77] They have two daughters together: Kendall (born 1995) and Kylie (born 1997);[78] in her autobiography, Jenner explained that she named her daughter Kendall Nicole after the late Nicole Brown Simpson.[79] By marriage to Bruce, Jenner also had four stepchildren: Burt, Cassandra "Casey", Brandon, and Brody.
The Jenners announced their separation in October 2013,[80][81] and on September 22, 2014, Kris filed for divorce, citing irreconcilable differences.[82] The divorce became final on March 23, 2015, because of a six-month state legal requirement.[83][84] Jenner described the breakup with Caitlyn as "the most passive-aggressive thing", saying that while she had known of Caitlyn's use of hormones in the 1980s, "there wasn't a gender issue. Nobody mentioned a gender issue."[85]
As of 2023, Jenner has twelve grandchildren.[86][87] She has been in a relationship with Corey Gamble since around 2014.[88]
O. J. Simpson trial
Jenner and her family suffered emotional turmoil during the O. J. Simpson trial (1994–1995), later described as the "Trial of the Century." Jenner was a good friend of O.J.'s ex-wife, Nicole Brown, and Jenner's first husband, Robert Kardashian, was one of O.J. Simpson's "Dream Team" of defense lawyers during the trial.[89]
She was portrayed by American actress Selma Blair in the FX limited series American Crime Story: The People v. O. J. Simpson, which premiered in February 2016.[90]
California Community Church
Jenner and Pastor Brad Johnson founded the California Community Church in 2012. It originally was called the Life Change Community Church, located in Agoura Hills, California.[91]
