So many new babies have been welcomed in the Kardashian family of late, that soon their annual Christmas card photoshoot is going to have to be done with a wide-angled lens!
It’s not too much of a stretch to say that this is the most well known family on the planet. Not only is Keeping Up With The Kardashians astronomically popular (and scarily addictive), you can now even take a course to study the reality television show. That’s when Kris Jenner must have known she was onto a winner, when her family ceased to be the subject of just another reality TV show and because a field of academic study.
Kourtney, Kim, Khloe and Rob are each entrepreneurs in their own right. One of their Kardashian’s most successful ventures to date has been a clothing line for children – Kardashian Kids.
The Kardashian Kids Clothing Line
The Kardashian sisters have always been fashion forward so it makes sense that, as they’ve all transitioned into motherhood, that their attention would turn to children’s fashion. Kourtney, Khloe and Kim launched their brand back in 2014, and thus the Kardashian Kids clothing line was born. Kardashian Kids is now available in a multitude of stores across America as well as on-line. You’ll often see Kim’s oldest daughter North West and Kourtney’s oldest daughter Penelope Disick modelling the garments on social media.

It seems like the Kardashian’s were just kids themselves when Season One of Keeping Up With The Kardashians aired way back in 2007. Now, each and every one of Kris and Robert’s children have a growing family of their own. Let’s work our way through the ever-expanding branches of the Kardashian Family Tree, starting with youngest sibling and only son, Robert Kardashian.
Robert Kardashian’s Kids

Full Name: Dream Renée Kardashian
Date of Birth: 10 November 2016 (Age 3)
Robert Kardashian and Blac Chyna have not had the smoothest of relationships, but together they have a daughter, Dream Renée, who the family refer to as simply ‘Dream’. Dream will be turning 3 this year, and while her father Rob hasn’t felt comfortable in front of the camera these past few years (in fact, Rob has only just returned to Instagram this month) he’s every bit a doting father. Rob recently shared this video of Dream to Twitter, and fair warning, it’s a cuteness overload.
Khloe Kardashian’s Kids
Pictured: Khloe Kardashian and daughter True Thompson
Full Name: True Thompson. Like most of her cousins, little True doesn’t have a middle name.
Date of Birth: 12 April 2018 (Age 1)
Khloe Kardashian was very open about undergoing fertility treatments with her ex-husband Lamar Odom. During her previous marriage, Khloe was reluctant to completely commit to becoming pregnant because she felt her relationship with Odom wasn’t in a good place. When she announced the news of her first pregnancy on 20 December 2017, her fans were largely ecstatic but there were some who were confused, questioning whether she had lied about having fertility issues herself during her marriage to Lamar. Khloe wasted no time clearing up the rumours, tweeting:
The father of her baby was Tristan Thompson, the professional basketball player with whom Khloe had been in a relationship with since roughly September 2016. Shortly before Khloe went into labour with True, news broke that Tristan had been caught on camera kissing another woman in a nightclub. Soon, more information started to come to light and it became apparent that Tristan may have cheated on Khloe multiple times during her pregnancy. But there was no time to get to the bottom of things, because True was already on the way!
Since their separation, Tristan and Khloe have endeavoured to co-parent. Any glimmer of reconciliation has probably been dashed in the wake of the Tristan x Jordan Woods cheating scandal, but no matter what happens, Tristan will always be True’s Dad.
Kim Kardashina’s Kids
Full Name: North West
Date of Birth: 15 June 2013 (Age 6)
All of Kim Kardashian’s kids are a result of her relationship with her husband, rapper Kanye West. North was their first born, and you’ll often hear her family refer to her as ‘Nori’ or ‘Northie’. Kanye and Kim were engaged at the time North was born, and they were married in May 2014 by the time North was nearly a year old. Kim did not have an easy pregnancy by any means. She had an emergency labour scare, was in lots of pain and suffered from pre-eclampsia during her pregnancy.

After Kim delivered North, she suffered placenta accreta and had to have further surgery to remove placenta and scar tissue which is a terrible ordeal for any woman to have to endure, let alone a first time mother. But North arrived unharmed, and she is the apple of Dad Kanye’s eye.
Saint West
Full Name: Saint West
Date of Birth: 5 December 2015 (Age 4)
Saint West is the oldest son of Kim and Kanye, born 20 days before Kim’s expected due date. This pregnancy was no easier for Kim who, despite being able to give birth to Saint naturally, suffered severe blood loss and placenta accreta for a second time.
Chicago West

Full Name: Chicago West
Date of Birth: 15 January 2018 (Age 1)
After Kim experiencing so much physical and emotional stress whilst carrying North and Saint, the Kardashian-Wests opted for a surrogate birth. They selected a female embryo, not out of any burning desire to have another daughter, but just because this embryo was the healthiest. Kim spoke to Elle about making the tough call. “It’s a really tricky thing. What sex do you put in?” she said. “I just said, ‘Which one is the healthiest? Pick the healthiest one,’ and that was a girl.” The surrogate that carried Chicago was La’Reina Haynes, an experience surrogate who appeared on the season finale episode of Keeping Up With The Kardashians so that she could meet Mum Kris and Kim’s sisters.
The Kardashian kid’s names are all very unique, and young ‘Chi’ was named after her father’s home city, Chicago.
Psalm West
Full Name: Psalm West. Pslam may have a middle name, as Kim captioned this highly anticipated photo ‘Psalm Ye’. We’re sure to know more in the coming days.
Date of Birth: 9 May 2019 (Just over 1 month old)
Psalm is the latest addition to the Kardashian-West family, and he too was born via surrogate. This is the first close-up photo Kim and Kanye have shared of their youngest son, and we can’t get over how cute he is!
Kourtney Kardashian’s Kids
Full Name: Mason Dash Disick
Date of Birth: 14 December 2009 (Age 10)
Mason is the oldest Disick child and was Kris Jenner’s first grand baby. We’ve watched him grow from season to season of KUWTK and by all accounts, he is a very polite, intelligent young man. Mason, as are his two siblings, is the son of Scott Disick, Kourtney’s long term on-again, off-again partner. Scott and Kourtney are very much separate now, with Scott dating Sophia Richie. But Mason’s Mum and Dad are on good terms, making it a healthy environment for all the Disick children.

Full Name: Penelope Scotland Disick
Date of Birth: 8 July 2012 (Age 7)
Penelope is regularly featured on Keeping Up With The Kardashians, and often appears on the family’s social media channels wearing clothes from the Kardashian Kids line. Unlike Khloe and Kim’s children (jury is still out on Psalm), Kourtney’s children have middle names. It isn’t unlike Kourtney to buck the trend and stand out from her sisters -after all, she is the oldest!
Reign Aston Disick
Full Name: Reign Aston Disick
Date of Birth: 14 December 2014 (Age 5)
Reign was born shortly before Scott and Kourtney went their separate ways in the 2015. Reign shares his birthday with his older brother Mason, and the two boys clearly have a close bond. Scott and Kourtney have been the targets of lots of trolls who seem to have a problem with the length of Reign’s hair – but they’ve brushed all that hate aside and concentrated on being the best parents they can be instead.
