Kendall Jenner made her public debut in 2014, during the Marc Jacobs fashion show.
When it comes to the Kardashian/Jenner family, people hear a lot about Kylie and Kim, and know stories about Kourtney and Khloe often. One sister who tends to be left out is Kendall, who seems to like privacy.
Kendall Jenner is the eldest daughter of Kris Kardashian and Caitlyn Jenner. She made her public debut in 2014, in the Marc Jacobs fashion show. Since then, she has performed for Victoria’s Secret, posed for Estée Lauder cosmetics, and was the face of the cover of Vogue. Here are some unknown facts about the beautiful Kendall Jenner.
Her name was given by Kathie-Lee Gifford
In case you still haven’t read Kris Jenner’s book, All Things Kardashian, here’s the little but interesting story. In the book, Kris tells how artist Kathie Lee-Gifford (Kendall’s godmother) helped her name her daughter. “I gave Kathie names and she stopped me at Kendall.” Kathie made a great choice.
My dream grew up to be a veterinarian
When it comes to the modeling world, Kendall is an oddball. However, modeling was not her first career choice. In an interview with Harper’s Bazaar magazine, she confessed that if it weren’t for the reality TV show, she would have become a jockey, and later, a veterinarian.
She’s shy, even though she lives in the limelight
Reality TV is a way to show the world the daily lives of some stars. Although Kendall grew up in front of the camera, she is still shy when in front of the camera. In an interview with Harper’s Bazaar, Kendall confessed: “Sometimes, I live aloof, which annoys me, but I think it’s for the best.”
The person with the most comfortable style in the family
Of the five Kardashian/Jenner sisters, Kendall is the only one who doesn’t care about glitz and glamour. As a child, she had the personality of a boy who liked to ride quads and go-karts. Recently, she is ready to wear to work or events, but when not working, she prefers comfortable clothes, t-shirts, yoga pants, and sneakers.
Ever brought stalkers to court
We all know that being famous comes with a number of consequences, one of which lies in encountering rabid fans. One of Kendall’s “fans,” Shavaughn McKenzie, crossed the line, in 2016, when he began stalking Kendall. He even camped outside her compound. Kendall was forced to go to court to ask for an injunction to ban Shavaughn McKenzie from getting close to her within 100 yards (about 91 meters).
Like most teenagers, she struggles with acne and self-esteem
In 2015, Kendall gave an interview to Allure magazine and admitted that she suffered from acne as a teenager. “I had acne in 9th grade. It was a depressing time for me, it killed my self-esteem.” She only regained her confidence when she stood in front of the camera more.
Difficult times accepting my father’s transgender identity
In 2015, Bruce Jenner announced to the world that he identifies as a woman by saying, “my brain is more female than male”. From there, he started transgender and changed his name to Caitlyn Jenner. Accepting his father’s transgender identity has not been easy for Kendall. In fact, in an interview with Vogue magazine, she confessed that she felt sad when she saw a picture of her father back in the day, when he was a man.
Anxiety and sleep paralysis
In 2016, Kendall told an episode of Keeping Up With The Kardashians that she suffered from sleep paralysis and was afraid to sleep. Also in that episode, the public learned that she was worried. Sometimes, her anxiety kept her from working. However, health is number one, so she will prioritize health before work.
Having fear of holes
Have you ever heard of the fear of holes? In a since-deleted social media post, Kendall confessed she has the syndrome. “Anyone who knows me knows that I have a fear of holes,” she wrote. She then went on to explain that things like pancakes, honeycombs, and lotus mirrors scare her.
Lying like a cobblestone when I was a kid
People still lie from time to time, especially when they are young. According to a 2014 interview, Kendall revealed that she used to be quite creative when it came to making up stories. “When I was in kindergarten or first grade, I told my friends that I had a herd of tigers in the attic and that we had a room full of gold. I also told them my hometown is in Hawaii, but my accent is southern.” The question is, will the other children believe her?
The group of friends have the same tattoos
In 2015, Kendall confessed she was baffled by permanence, which is why she doesn’t have any tattoos. Since then, her views on tattoos have changed. In an interview with Allure magazine, Kendall explained that Gigi Hadid, Cara Delevingne, Hailey Baldwin, and she consider them a “supernatural group of friends”. To strengthen their friendship, they all have the same “broken heart” tattoos.
Social media is not a hobby
Tik Tok, Instagram, Snapchat, Facebook, and Twitter, social networks have really taken over life. Kendall doesn’t like to be glued to his phone all day. She wants to meet people and feel more. That’s why there are times when she deletes all the social media apps on her phone.
Career is everything to her
Kendall Jenner may be young, but she knows what she wants, and she’s pushed her boundaries for success. In an interview with Vogue, Kendall confessed, “I want to work for a long time. I want to be like Cindy Crawford. I want to work until I’m her age.”
Like taking photo
The public knows that Kendall is great in front of the camera. What most of the public doesn’t know, is that she’s also great behind the camera. During an interview with Vogue, she was asked if she had secret hobbies. She replied, “photography”. She even does some photo shoots, like one in 2016 where she photographed Cindy Crawford’s daughter, Kaia Gerber, for Love magazine.
Gigi Hadid’s best friend
It’s normal to see Gigi Hadid in many of Kendall Jenner’s paparazzi photos. The two are pictured with a shadow and often spend time together. What many people don’t know is that the two of you are more than just best friends; They are also close friends. In an interview with Vogue, Kendall explained that Gigi’s ex-stepfather is the former stepfather of her half-brother.
