Background

Kristen Mary Jenner is a famous manager whose affectatious personality and talents have won her millions of fans worldwide. She was born on November 5, 1955, as the eldest of two children. Her mother is Mary Jo Shannon, who owned a clothing store, while her father was Bob Houghton, an engineer. She is a Scorpio and of European descent.

She attended Clairemont High School in San Diego and worked at Shannon & Company, her mother’s clothing store.

In 2007, while married to then-husband Bruce Jenner, known as Caitlyn Jenner, she approached producer Ryan Seacrest to pursue a reality television show based on her family. E! Network picked up “Keeping Up with the Kardashians,” and Jenner was named executive producer. The reality series highlighted the lives of her blended family members and debuted in October 2007. “Keeping Up with the Kardashians” became one of America’s longest-running reality television shows. According to the transition of the Kardashian-Jenner life, various spinoffs were created in adaptation. These spinoffs included “Kourtney and Khloe Take Miami” (2009), “Kourtney and Kim Take New York” (2011), “Khloe & Lamar” (2011), “Rob & Chyna” (2016), and finally, “Life of Kylie” (2017). Jenner executive produced all these spinoffs. In March 2020, the 18th season of “Keeping Up With The Kardashians” aired.

Even after claims that the Kardashian-Jenner family would stop filming after the 18th season of the show, the family signed an exclusivity deal with Hulu and are set to premiere their new reality series, called “The Kardashians,” in April 2022. Aside from reality T.V., Jenner is a celebrated businesswoman who manages her children’s multiple ventures. From Kylie Cosmetics to Skims, 818, to KKW Beauty, and several more, she is a ‘Momager.’ Jenner has dabbled in various industries. She wrote her autobiography, “Kris Jenner… and All Things Kardashian,” which was released in 2011. She’s also written a cookbook, runs her own production company, Jenner Communications, and manages all her daughters’ careers. Jenner is often called her family’s matriarch, and she has been featured in countless magazines like “Cosmopolitan,” “Harper’s Bazaar,” and more. As a reality star and socialite, Jenner’s life has been in the public eye. After her divorce from Robert Kardashian in 1991, Jenner married Bruce Jenner before his open transition to Caitlyn.
