Meet the full Kardashian family…
Kris Jenner (64)
Self-proclaimed ‘momager’ Kris Jenner has masterminded the meteoric careers of her six children.
She has been married twice, having four children with Robert Kardashian – a key figure in OJ Simpson’s murder trial defence team – before divorcing him in 1991.
Kris went on to have two more daughters during her marriage to former Olympian Bruce, now Caitlyn, Jenner.
The pair divorced in 2014 citing irreconcilable differences – which has since been revealed to be Caitlyn’s transition.
She has been dating Corey Gamble since late 2014.
Kourtney Kardashian (40)
The oldest sister of the clan, Kourtney has a university degree in Theatre Arts with a minor in Spanish from Arizona University.
She became the first family member to appear on reality TV, taking part in Filthy Rich: Cattle Drive in 2005.
Kourtney had a nine year romance with Scott Disick, and together they have three children Mason, Penelope and Reign- but they split in 2016.
Kim Kardashian West (39)
Arguably the most famous of the clan, Kim was initially seen as a ‘hanger-on’ to celebrities including Paris Hilton and Lindsay Lohan.
However Kim’s sex tape with ex Ray J shot her to fame in 2007 and Keeping Up With the Kardashians was released eight months later.
Since then, Kim has developed a make-up and perfume line, launched apps including ‘kimojis’, appeared on Dancing with the Stars and posed for a series of fashion shoots.
Kim has been married three times – with her first marriage at the age of 20 lasting just four years, then her second, to NBA player Kris Humphries lasting only 72 days in 2011.
Dating rapper Kanye West from 2012, the pair married in Florence in 2014 and they have four children together – daughter North West, 3, and son Saint West, 18 months. They welcomed their latest addition, baby girl Chicago – born via surrogate – on January 16, 2018 – then Psalm was born in 2019.
Khloe Kardashian (35)
Khloe has been known for her cutting wit and words of wisdom within the family unit.
The star has been married once to NBA basketball player Lamar Odom, only a month after meeting him at a party.
However, she filed for divorce in 2013 and, after helping him recover from an accidental drug overdose in a brothel, finalised the split in 2016.
Since splitting from Lamar, she has dated French Montana and NBA player, Tristan Thompson.
She has one child called True.
Kendall Jenner (24)
First appearing on the show at the tender age of 12, Kendall works as an internationally acclaimed model.
She frequently appears alongside Gigi Hadid and Cara Delevingne in her advertising campaigns as part of a “new generation of supermodels”.
The star was named by Forbes magazine as one of the highest earning models of 2016 – matching Karlie Kloss with an estimate £7.7million paycheque and being beaten only by veteran Adriana Lima and Gisele Bunchen.
She is a Victoria’s Secret model, and has walked runways for high fashion brands including Chanel, Givenchy and Mark Jacobs.
Out of all the sisters, she is known to be particularly close to her younger sister Kylie, her only full-blooded sibling, and has even said she’s “more of a Jenner” to distance herself from her older sisters.
The star tends to keep her life private with the exception of the reality show, and has a sparse but active social media presence.
Kylie Jenner (22)
Kylie has become a social media star who is known for her enhanced lips and hourglass figure.
She has since branched out to create her own cosmetics line, Kylie Cosmetics, which includes a lip kit that crashed the website on launch.
The youngest Kardashian has also helped her sister Kendall create fashion lines for high-street stores including Topshop and Pacsun.
She was in an on/off relationship with rapper Tyga for two years, which started when she was 17 and he was 25.
When they split, she moved on to date Travis Scott, but it’s recently been reported they may have broken up amid rumours he was seen with a mystery woman.
Kylie welcomed her first child, a daughter, on 1 Febuary 2018.
Rob Kardashian (32)
The most private member of the Kardashian family, Rob is the most removed from the spotlight.
He removed himself from Keeping Up with the Kardashians after being diagnosed with diabetes and gaining weight.
Rob had his first child, daughter Dream Renee Kardashian, with his now ex-fiance Blac Chyna.
The pregnancy was documented on the spin-off reality show, Rob & Chyna.
Dream is Chyna’s second child after having a son, King Cairo, with former flame Tyga, who went on to have a relationship with Kylie Jenner.
