The Kardashian family, also referred to as the Kardashian–Jenner family,[1] is an American family prominent in the fields of entertainment, reality television, fashion design, and business. Founded by Robert Kardashian and Kris Jenner (née Houghton), it consists of their children Kourtney, Kim, Khloé, and Rob Kardashian, as well as their grandchildren. After Robert and Kris' divorce in 1991, Kris married Olympic decathlon champion Bruce Jenner (now Caitlyn Jenner) with whom she had two daughters: Kendall and Kylie Jenner. Notable extended relatives include Kendall and Kylie's half-siblings (through Caitlyn and her marriage to actress Linda Thompson), Brandon and Brody Jenner.[2][3]

Kourtney previously dated American entrepreneur Scott Disick; they have three children. In 2022, she married Travis Barker. Kim was married to American rapper and record producer Kanye West; they have four children. Khloé previously dated Canadian basketball player Tristan Thompson; they have two children. Rob previously dated American rapper and model Blac Chyna; they have one child. Kylie is in a long-term relationship with American rapper and singer Travis Scott; they have two children.

Robert Kardashian initially received attention for being one of O. J. Simpson's lawyers during the O. J. Simpson murder case, but the family parlayed Kim's 2003 sex tape with singer Ray J, Kim Kardashian, Superstar, into a reality-TV and business empire.[4] They have since been referred to as "America's most famous family" by Glamour,[5] "one of the most influential family 'dynasties' in the world" by Insider,[6] and the biggest influencers of the 2010s by Vogue.[7] They are the focus of the book Kardashian Dynasty: The Controversial Rise of America's Royal Family by Ian Halperin.[8]

Best known for its involvement in reality television shows, the family's longest running show was Keeping Up with the Kardashians (2007–2021). Spinoffs included Kourtney and Kim Take Miami (2009–2013); Kourtney and Khloé Take Miami (2009–2013); Kourtney and Kim Take New York (2011–2012); Khloé & Lamar (2013); Kourtney and Kim Take Miami (2014–2015); Kourtney and Khloé Take The Hamptons (2014–2015); Dash Dolls (2015) and Life of Kylie (2017). In 2022, the family aired their new show The Kardashians.

Family background

Robert Kardashian Sr. is the son of Helen and Arthur Kardashian. All four of his grandparents were Armenian who emigrated from the Russian Empire to the United States in the early 20th century, originating from the towns of Karakale and Erzurum in modern-day Turkey. The family left the Russian Empire before the Armenian genocide began in 1915.[9]

Reception

The family and media give Kim the credit for helping them start their careers. The family has been criticized as being famous for being famous.[7][10] In late May 2020, Forbes released an investigation into Kylie's finances, alleging she misrepresented her billionaire status. Writers Chase Peterson-Withorn and Madeline Berg stated, "...white lies, omissions and outright fabrications are to be expected from the family that perfected—then monetized—the concept of 'famous for being famous.'"[11] Even with the family's mainstay show Keeping up with the Kardashians, some have said the family has "no real skills beyond 'being famous for being famous.'"[12] Vogue stated the Kardashians have "...proved that although they were 'famous for being famous' in the 2000s, in the 2010s they became a cultural force to be reckoned with."[7] They were given keys to Beverly Hills on September 2, 2010, intentionally arranged to match the area's zip code of 90210.[13] The family are often critized for blackfishing and cultural appropriation of African-American culture.[14][15]
