Kris Jenner is a socialite and television personality. She has been on the small screen since Keeping Up with The Kardashians aired in 2010, and is also an entrepreneur and business mogul with many ambassadorial deals. However, despite her fame, we hardly hear about any of her direct family members. Does she have any siblings, for instance?
Kris Jenner has one sibling – Karen Houghton.
However, fans rarely, if ever, hear of Karen. So, let’s find out more about Kris Jenner’s estranged sister.
Does Kris Jenner have a good relationship with her sister?
Issues between siblings are normal because there are many distinguishing personalities despite coming from the same womb. Additionally, how many people go through life without fighting with their sisters, right?
Kris and Karen were raised by their single mother. According to Kris Jenner’s autobiography, she had a good relationship with her sister.
Growing up with one parent must not have been easy for them. So, they always had each other’s backs and would fight to protect themselves.
However, Karen’s daughter, Natalie Zettel, uploaded a picture of her mother in the hospital in 2018. It was supposed to be an Instagram birthday post but became a “get well soon” post.
The post led to many speculations and anger from Kris Jenner’s fans. People wondered why the socialite wasn’t by her sister’s sick bed. They also wanted to know why she didn’t wish her sister a happy birthday.
Everything was eventually summed up as sibling rivalry. Karen claimed that Kris had been ignoring her, and she thought it was because of her fame and fortune. They would only run into each other when they had to look after their aging mother.
Their relationship was indeed an emotional rollercoaster. On some days, Kris Jenner would lavish Karen with expensive gifts. On other days, they would shamelessly feud on social media.
So, they had an awful relationship as siblings but managed to patch things for the media.
What does Karen Houghton do for a living?
Karen Houghton, born on Nov. 24, 1958, is the only sibling of Jenner. Unlike her sister, Karen is not popular and is most times only seen in the mainstream media when the siblings are feuding.
She is a registered nurse, who works part-time with a small hospital. There’s not much information about her aside from the fact that she occasionally gets into confrontations with Kris Jenner.
