Early Life & Education
Kris Jenner was born in San Diego, California, on November 5, 1955, the eldest of two children born to Mary Jo Campbell, who owned a children’s clothing store, and Robert Houghton, an engineer.
When she was seven years old, Mary Jo Campbell and Robert Houghton divorced, and she and her younger sister, Karen Houghton, were raised by their mother. Mary Jo Campbell eventually remarried businessman Harry Shannon, who helped raise her and Karen Houghton. Through Kris Jenner‘s mother’s marriage to Harry Shannon, she gained a half-brother, Steve Shannon.

Kris Jenner described the breakup with Caitlyn Jenner as “the most passive-aggressive thing,” saying that while she had known of Caitlyn Jenner‘s use of hormones in the 1980s, “there wasn’t a gender issue. Nobody mentioned a gender issue.” Kris Jenner has ten grandchildren: Stormi Webster, North West, Wolf Webster, Dream Kardashian, Mason Disick, True Thompson, Psalm West, Penelope Disick, Saint West, Chicago West, and Reign Disick.
