Kardashian-Jenner family tree explained: All the kids, partners, and confusing connections

The sprawling Kardashian-Jenner dynasty, a global force in entertainment and business, all stems from one woman: Kris Jenner. Her two pivotal marriages created the two wings of the family that have dominated pop culture for over a decade.

Her first marriage in 1978 was to Robert Kardashian, a successful lawyer and businessman of Armenian-American descent. He famously became a household name as a friend and volunteer defence attorney for O.J. Simpson. Before his death from cancer in 2003, he and Kris had four children who would form the original Kardashian empire.

A month after her divorce from Robert was finalised in 1991, Kris married the Olympic gold medal-winning decathlete Caitlyn Jenner, beginning a new chapter for the family.

The original Kardashians

The eldest of Kris and Robert’s children is Kourtney Kardashian, 45. She has three children with her former partner Scott Disick: Mason, 14, Penelope, eleven, and Reign, nine. In 2022, she married Blink-182 drummer Travis Barker, and the couple welcomed their first son, Rocky Thirteen Barker, in November 2023.

Next is perhaps the most famous sibling, Kim Kardashian, 43. With her ex-husband, the rapper formerly known as Kanye West, she has four children: North, eleven, Saint, seven, Chicago, six, and Psalm, five.

Khloé Kardashian, 40, is the youngest of the Kardashian sisters. She shares two children with basketball player Tristan Thompson: a daughter, True, six, and a son, Tatum, who is one.

The only son, Rob Kardashian, 37, has one daughter, seven-year-old Dream Renée Kardashian, with his ex-fiancée Blac Chyna. Dream is the only grandchild to carry the Kardashian surname.

The Jenner generation

The union of Kris and Caitlyn Jenner produced two daughters. Kendall Jenner, 28, has built a formidable career as an international supermodel. According to reports, she was the world's highest-paid model in 2018.

The youngest of all the siblings is Kylie Jenner, 26. She turned her fame into a business empire with the launch of Kylie Cosmetics. With her former partner, rapper Travis Scott, she has a daughter, Stormi Webster, six, and a son, Aire Webster, two.

Caitlyn's older children

Before marrying Kris, Caitlyn Jenner had four children from two previous marriages, making them half-siblings to Kendall and Kylie.

From her first marriage to Chrystie Scott, Caitlyn has a son, Burt Jenner, 45, a professional truck racer, and a daughter, Cassandra "Casey" Marino, 44. From her second marriage to Linda Thompson, she has two more sons: Brandon Jenner, 43, a singer-songwriter, and Brody Jenner, 40, who became a reality television star in his own right on shows like The Hills.

Over the years, Caitlyn has been open about her shortcomings as a parent to her eldest four, admitting she "didn't do a good job" during their formative years. However, her relationships with them have reportedly improved significantly, with her daughter Casey telling People that their bond is "much better" now.

With a family tree this complex and constantly growing, it's clear the Kardashian-Jenner dynasty isn't slowing down any time soon.
