Kendall Jenner on Mom Kris Pressuring Her to Have a Baby: ‘I’m Like, Is This Not Up to Me?’
Kendall Jenner is the only Kardashian-Jenner that doesn’t have children, and that fact is not lost on her mother Kris Jenner, who Kendall revealed in multiple interviews has been putting pressure
on her to have a baby.
Kendall told E! that “Mom. 100% my mom [is pressuring me to start a family with boyfriend Devin Booker]. She will just randomly, like, text—”
Kylie Jenner chirped in, saying, “Or maybe me too.”
“Mom and Kylie. But she’ll [Kris] just randomly me and be like, ‘I think it’s time,’ and I’m like, ‘Is this not up to me?!’ at any point," Kendall said.
Kris chimed in, telling Kendall on camera, “Just your friendly reminder!” The exchange disturbed some on social media, who noted it’s Kendall’s choice whether or not to have children, and if she does, when she chooses to do so.
Kendall was also asked by Extra about Kris telling Ellen DeGeneres recently, when asked who she hopes has a child next after Kourtney Kardashian (who is actively trying with her fiancé Travis Barker), “I think it would be nice if it was Kendall, right? She’s the only one who hasn’t had a baby.”
“I have no, like—it’s not a yes,” Kendall said of her reaction to the clip and plans for children generally. “I’m indifferent. I’m just, like, living life day by day, but I do get, like, baby fever a lot of the times, especially with her [Kylie’s] newborn, I just, I hang out with all of them and I’m, like, it would be so fun to have one too, but I’m chilling. Like I’m just living life right now as a free bird.”
Kendall also addressed whether her boyfriend of over one year, Devin Booker, would appear on The Kardashians. The answer’s a no for now. “I don’t think so. I don’t know, though,” she said. “We haven’t really discussed it. We’re just taking it day by day. Whatever happens, happens.”
Kendall has joked before about being the only child-free Kardashian-Jenner on social media.
She said more honestly that she wasn’t interested in starting a family for years in 2018. “I still have years that I want to spend for myself for a little while, but more power to [Kylie], man, she is built for this, she is an incredible mom,” Jenner told Peopleat an event in July 2018. “There are parts of me that go in and out of [wanting a baby], but I am so okay right now just to live my life. Maybe I’ll have a kid in a couple of years…”
In May 2019, Kendall told E!, “I go in and out of phases. Some days, I’ll be there and I’ll be like, ‘Omg, I think it’s happening. I think I have the fever.’”
“Most days, I’m like, ‘This is too much.’ It’s a lot to be able to play with them,’” Kendall continued with a laugh. “I’ll just be like, ‘go to your mom.’”
