LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Tensions seem to be rising within the Kardashian-Jenner family, specifically between the eldest sister, Kim Kardashian, and the youngest, Kylie Jenner. Sources suggest that Kim, 43, is increasingly frustrated with their mother, Kris Jenner, for consistently protecting Kylie and allowing her to keep her relationship with actor Timothee Chalamet out of the public eye.
According to insiders, Kim has expressed her grievances to Kris Jenner, highlighting a perceived unfairness in how privacy is managed within the family. Kim reportedly feels that she was never given the same level of privacy as Kylie, especially in light of her highly publicized life and the controversies that have surrounded her, such as the infamous sex tape that propelled the Kardashian family into the spotlight.
For Kylie’s 27th birthday on August 10, Kim shared a seemingly heartfelt post on social media, referring to Kylie as a “private little soul.” However, some believe this comment subtly reflects Kim’s frustration with how Kylie’s privacy is handled differently. While Kim’s life has been extensively public, Kylie has been able to maintain a more private personal life, even amidst her high-profile romance with Chalamet.
Friends close to the Kardashian-Jenner family are concerned that this sibling rivalry might escalate. A source told In Touch, “They’ve tried to put differences aside, but things keep coming up.” They added that Kim resents the different set of rules Kylie seems to operate under and feels it’s unfair that Kylie is allowed to keep much of her personal life private while still staying in Kris’s good graces.
Moreover, the fact that Kylie recently graced the cover of British Vogue for the September issue—a first for any member of the family—has reportedly added to Kim’s frustration. “Kim is very jealous,” an insider revealed, noting that Kim believes Kylie doesn’t fully appreciate the doors that have been opened for her by the family’s earlier fame.
Kylie’s ability to keep her personal life, especially her relationship with Timothee Chalamet, out of the public eye seems to be a deliberate strategy. Sources close to Kylie suggest that part of the success of her relationship with Chalamet is due to her decision to keep it away from the media and the family’s reality TV show, The Kardashians.
A source told Daily Mail in July, “Kylie and Timothee are going so well because Kylie is not putting ultimatums on him to be a part of The Kardashians TV show.” This approach contrasts sharply with the family’s usual pattern of sharing every aspect of their lives with the public, and it appears to be working in Kylie’s favor.
As the situation unfolds, fans of the Kardashian-Jenner clan are left wondering how these family dynamics will evolve and what impact, if any, this tension will have on their brand and relationships moving forward.
