Created: JANUARY 22, 2025

In a revealing interview with WSJ Magazine, Kendall Jenner opened up about her future family plans, the pressures of growing up in the spotlight, and her unique connection with her father, Caitlyn Jenner.

The 27-year-old model and reality star expressed her excitement about eventually becoming a mother, but emphasized that it's not in her immediate plans. "I'm looking forward to that chapter, but I know it's not the right time yet," Jenner shared. She also hinted that she wouldn't raise her future children in Los Angeles, adding, "You heard it here first!"

As the only Kardashian-Jenner sibling without children, Jenner's perspective on parenthood is particularly interesting, especially given Kourtney Kardashian's recent pregnancy announcement. Kourtney is expecting her first child with husband Travis Barker, adding to her three children with Scott Disick and Barker's two from his previous marriage.

Jenner also reflected on the challenges of navigating fame from a young age. Having grown up on reality television, she admitted to not being naturally suited for the constant public scrutiny. "I wasn't built for this kind of life," she confessed, "but I’ve learned to adapt." She contrasted her approach with Kim Kardashian's, recalling a conversation where Kim discussed strategically using paparazzi attention to her advantage. Jenner acknowledged that Kim seemed much more naturally inclined towards life in the public eye, while she herself has struggled with the negativity and intrusiveness.

Despite acknowledging the perks of her lifestyle, Jenner emphasized the emotional toll of constant public attention. "I consider myself incredibly fortunate to live the life I do, but it’s definitely more challenging than it appears," she explained. She highlighted the intense scrutiny and negativity directed towards her family, noting that people often twist everything into something negative.

Finally, Jenner discussed her unique position within the family, feeling a stronger connection to her father, Caitlyn Jenner, than to her Kardashian half-siblings. "I understand that I’m considered one of the Kardashian sisters," she said, "but I feel much more like a Jenner. I share so many qualities with my dad." This candid admission offers a glimpse into the complex family dynamics and individual identities within the famous family.
