Kendall Jenner isn’t your typical Kardashian.
The model and reality star told Harper’s Bazaar magazine in a candid new interview that she has always been “different” to her famous sisters because she grew up as a tomboy.
“I’ve always been the different one,” she said. “I mean, I’m a girl and I like being a girl, but I’ve just never been into it like they have. I think I get that from my dad. I’d say I’m more of a Jenner than a Kardashian.”
Candid: Kendall Jenner opens up about her family in the new issue of Harper’s Bazaar
Kendall has always been extremely close to her father, and while she was supportive of Caitlyn’s gender transition two years ago, it was still difficult for the 21-year-old to deal with.
Kendall told Harper’s Bazaar – which she graces the cover of – that the family had their suspicions after finding a wig and nail polish, and then one day she went to get a glass of water in the middle of the night and saw her father dressed as a woman.
“My heart dropped. That’s when she would dress as herself, at four in the morning, before we would get up. So that was like, ‘Whoa,’ for a second,” the star remembered.
“When she told us, and told us that it was going to be a real thing, it was an emotional couple of months. And if I would talk about it, I would cry, just because you’re mourning someone…losing someone.
“The person is still there, of course, but physically you’re losing someone. It was my dad who I grew up with my whole life and who raised me. It’s an adjustment, for sure.”
Kendall added: “But honestly, you start to realise that this person is still alive. This person is still here. They are still a blessing. They are still awesome. I realised that I should just be thankful that I still have my dad. It starts to just become normal. You’re just like, ‘Okay, cool.'”
As well as being less girly than her sisters, Kendall said she is also more private, and chooses to keep her love life out of the spotlight because she thinks relationships are “sacred”.
The star is currently linked to rapper A$AP Rocky, and the pair were apparently “all over” each other at a Coachella party over the weekend.
