Even when the world appears to be against them, it’s no secret that the Kardashian and Jenner siblings have remained as thick as thieves over the years. Though Kourtney, Kim, Khloé, and Rob Kardashian are the older siblings, they have always been sure to include their younger sisters, Kendall, and Kylie Jenner in their shenanigans.

From the time Keeping Up with the Kardashians debuted in 2007 — we’ve watched the six siblings bond and fight — always defending one another if some outside force tried to infiltrate their circle. 

No matter what, the KarJenners value loyalty above all else. We saw this when Kylie Jenner parted ways with her lifelong friend, Jordyn Woods, following a kissing scandal with Khloé Kardashian’s then-boyfriend, Tristan Thompson. Now, Jenner has a theory about why her siblings are so close.

This is why all of the KarJenner siblings are so close

Aside from Rob Kardashian, who has stepped away from the spotlight in recent years, all of the KarJenner siblings are public figures with high-profile lives, which helps keep them connected.

 “I feel like I can relate to every single one of my family members in a different way. I think my mom and I are very similar, but Kourtney and I also have similarities,” Kylie Jenner told Harper’s Bazaar. “Kendall and I are very adventurous and athletic. Me and Khloé are free-spirited and silly, and Rob’s very silly.”

Kourtney Kardashian has been distancing herself from her siblings recently

The eldest KarJenner siblings, Kourtney Kardashian, has always been a pretty chill force in her family. Though she and Kim Kardashian used to get into tiffs here and there, most of the Poosh founder’s drama tended to stem from her relationship with Scott Disick. That’s all changed recently. 

Beginning in 2018, there has been obvious friction between Kourtney and her siblings. In a July 2018 episode of KUWTK. Kourtney was openly ignoring Kim and Khloé, choosing to focus on her phone. This also kicked off a major argument between Kourt and Kim over the 2018 holiday Christmas Card. 

At the end of 2019 — Kourtney began requesting boundaries and more privacy from her siblings which did not go over well. Now, she has announced that she will be stepping back from KUWTK for the foreseeable future.

Inside Kylie Jenner’s insane sibling theory

Despite the recent tension between Kourtney and the rest of her siblings, Kylie Jenner believes that KarJenner matriarch Kris Jenner had all of them in pairs so that everyone would have a built-in BFF. With such a big family and so many kiddos, it looks like the momager wanted to be sure that everyone “had their own partner.”

“Kourtney had Kim. Khloé had Rob,” Jenner explained. “Kendall and I were so close in age. We had a close bond, but we are definitely polar opposites. But it works out. We don’t ever cross. She does her thing and I do mine, then we come together and have a great time.”

With her four children, North, Saint, Chicago and Psalm, it appears that Kim Kardashian is following in her mom’s footsteps.
