While often believed to be Armenian, Kris Jenner has European ancestry. The first child of Mary Jo Shannon and Robert True Houghton, her ethnicity is mixed (Dutch, English, Irish, German and Scottish).

Her first husband, Robert Kardashian, was an Armenian-American. His grandparents fled what is now Turkey in fear of the Armenian Genocide in 1915. Gaining national recognition as O. J. Simpson’s friend and defense attorney during Simpson’s 1995 murder trial, Robert Kardashian died in 2003.
He is believed to be the father of Kim Kardashian, Kourtney Kardashian, Rob Kardashian, and possibly Khloé Kardashian. However, their extremely wealthy mother does not have Middle Eastern ancestry.

In October 2015, Kris Jenner looked fresh and vibrant as she arrived at Los Angeles International Airport after a long flight from Paris. She was accompanied by her loyal boy toy, the then 34-year-old Corey Gamble.

Earlier the same week, Corey was spotted with a chunky ring on his wedding finger, leading to speculation that the two may have married in secret.

While surrounded by paparazzi at LAX, the then 59-year-old momager looked youthful in a printed black Moschino sweater styled with matching leggings, a laid-back khaki jacket, funky square sunglasses, and a pair of chunky lace-up combat boots.
