Secrets About Kendall Jenner: What You Might Not Know
Kendall Jenner first made waves in the fashion industry with her debut at Marc Jacobs’ fashion show in 2014. While the Kardashian-Jenner family is often associated with Kylie and Kim Kardashian, as well as stories surrounding Kourtney and Khloé, Kendall tends to fly under the radar. This is largely due to her preference for a more private lifestyle.
The Origin of Her Name
In Kris Jenner’s book, “All Things Kardashian“, it’s revealed that Kathie Lee Gifford, Kendall’s godmother, played a role in choosing her name. Kris had a list of potential names, but Kathie felt that “Kendall” was the perfect choice, and thus the supermodel got her iconic name.
Kendall’s Unexpected Career Path
Despite her success as a top supermodel, modeling wasn’t Kendall’s first choice. In an interview, she admitted that if it weren’t for the family’s reality TV show, she might have pursued a career as a horseback rider or even a veterinarian. These alternative paths reflect her deep connection with animals and her early interests before fashion became her calling.
Balancing Fame and Privacy
Though Kendall grew up under the constant gaze of reality TV cameras, she has expressed discomfort with living so publicly. In a candid moment, she shared, “Sometimes I live a pretty private life, which makes me uncomfortable, but I think that’s probably the best thing for me.” This sentiment contrasts with the glamorous and bold personas of her sisters.
A Tomboy at Heart
Among her sisters, Kendall Jenner is the least concerned with the world of glamour. As a child, she was a tomboy, enjoying adventurous activities like riding ATVs and go-karts. While she has embraced fashion and the spotlight for her work, Kendall is known for dressing casually off the runway, often opting for t-shirts, yoga pants, and sneakers when not attending high-profile events.
Dealing with Obsessive Fans
Being a celebrity comes with challenges, including handling obsessive fans. In 2016, Kendall had to obtain a restraining order against Shavaughn McKenzie, a man who stalked her and camped outside her home. The court ruled that McKenzie must stay 100 yards (about 91 meters) away from her, helping to ensure her safety.
