Kendall Jenner on Family, Future Plans and Embracing Her 30s

Kendall Jenner is thoughtfully navigating her future, balancing a thriving career with personal aspirations, including a desire for motherhood—but not immediately. The model recently shared her perspectives on family, her evolving priorities as she enters her 30s, and her approach to parenting in interviews with Vogue France and other publications.

Delaying Motherhood to Focus on Career

While Jenner “of course” wants children in the future, she’s prioritizing her career at present. “I want to have some, but not right away,” she told Vogue France in an interview published February 24th. “I want to make sure I can dedicate a lot of time to them, and for now, I’m still too busy.” Source

Prioritizing Self-Discovery and Enjoyment

As her siblings have embraced parenthood, Jenner is focused on her own goals for 2026. “The most important thing will be to stay true to myself and continue having a solid time,” she explained. “It might sound like a cliché, but it’s particularly important to me.” Source

Entering a Modern Decade with Clarity

Jenner feels a sense of clarity as she enters her 30s, a contrast to the stress and uncertainty she experienced in her 20s. “I feel most women, most people, understand this: when you’re in your 20s, you don’t always know exactly who you are or what you want, so things can quickly become hard or stressful,” she shared. “It was the same for me: when I was 20, I was too stressed and spent all my time running around. Now that I’m 30, I want to focus on myself.” Source

A Different Approach to Baby Names

Jenner also revealed her preferences for baby names, hinting at a desire for simplicity. During a January 9th appearance on the In Your Dreams podcast, she joked, “It’s normal. I love a good, normal name. A beautiful, normal name.” Source This contrasts with the unique names chosen by her siblings, such as North West and Stormi Webster, a trend she described as “kind of ridiculous.” Source

Future Family Location

Looking ahead, Jenner envisions raising her family outside of Los Angeles. She expressed this desire in a 2023 interview with WSJ. Magazine, stating, “I’m excited for that time in my life. I just know it’s not right now.” Source

Aunt to a Growing Family

While she hasn’t yet become a mother herself, Jenner is a proud aunt to 13 children within her family. Source
