Over 14 years in a total of 20 seasons, the Kardashian-Jenner family was accompanied by cameras in "Keeping Up With The Kardashians". Kris Jenner's youngest daughters, Kendall and Kylie, were just 12 and 10 when the show launched.
On the launch of "The Kardashians"
With the new show "The Kardashians" the family will start a new reality show on April 14th, this time on Disney+. Kendall and Kylie, together with "Momager" Kris Jenner, reveal what their highlights of the first episodes of the new show are and what hidden talents lie dormant in them in an interview with the news agency spot on news.
Kendall and Kylie Jenner reveal their hidden talents
Kendall and Kylie, you grew up around the cameras. How do you deal with the fact that your life has been in the public eye since you were a child?
Kylie Jenner: I think it's definitely a very unusual and interesting way to grow up. But I also have to stress that our family never told us to do anything or to be filmed.
It has always been a very natural part of our lives for us - I can't imagine it any other way because that's how I grew up. We have a family that loves and supports us very much. If we didn't want to be part of the show, they would all have been okay with it. But we are incredibly lucky that we all get to work together.
How do you balance all of your responsibilities with filming The Kardashians and your personal life?
Kendall Jenner: I think it can all be very overwhelming at times. Everyone in our family has different jobs alongside the priorities we set in our personal lives. That can quickly become too much. But I think we've all found our own individual ways of dealing with it and setting boundaries.
Are there any aspects of your life that are completely private?
Kendall Jenner: I do feel like there are aspects of my life that are private. That's my intention and I want it to stay that way. My personal relationships - be they romantic relationships or friendships - are sacred to me, so I keep them out of the public eye as much as possible.
Do you have any hidden talents that you haven't shared with the public?
Kylie Jenner: Kendall and I are way more athletic than most would think of us. We are professional snowboarders. In fact, we can do anything we put our minds to.
Kris Jenner: You are both great cooks too.
Kylie Jenner: Oh yeah, I have some very special recipes in store. For example, I love to cook Thanksgiving dinner.
Kris Jenner: Kendall is also a professional horse rider.
Kylie Jenner: And I'm a professional makeup artist!
Kendall Jenner: We could go on with this forever. We have a lot of talents, but there are few things we can't do.
Kourtney Kardashian says on the first episode of "The Kardashians" that living without the cameras for a few months was an "absolute dream" for her. Was that similar for you?
Kris Jenner: Of course, each of us has had a different experience with it. I was very busy with other tasks at the time and traveled a lot, so I didn't really notice it. But I still missed it a lot. When we returned it was a great pleasure to be filming with the family again.
Why did you decide to start a new show with The Kardashians?
Kris Jenner: Filming has been a part of my life for 15 years. After 20 seasons it just felt very natural to do it again - but this time on a different streaming platform that made more sense to us.
What is your personal highlight of the first season of "The Kardashians"?
Kendall Jenner: It might sound a little random, but for me the biggest highlight is being able to go back and see how it all played out afterwards. I've always done a lot of reflecting on how lucky we are and what a blessing it is to be in the position I am in. For me it's very special that we have the opportunity to look back on things thanks to the show.
Kylie Jenner: Personally, I loved seeing again how we were all there for Kourtney's engagement. I think it will be special for the viewers to see as well.
