Father: Robert George Kardashian (02/22/1944 - 09/30/2003)
Give the group last name. Without him, they would be something else (don't speculate), but not the Kardashians. Born in Los Angeles, his parents ran a solvent food packaging business.

He married in 1978, aged 34, to Kris Houghton, Kim's mother, who was born two years later. They divorced in 1991, two years before the murder that changed the future of the family. He practiced his entire life as a businessman and lawyer, from which he helped O.J. to the last consequences. Simpson, whose case is one of the most important in recent American history. Friend of the alleged murderer, acquitted to national surprise, Robert rose to fame at the great exposure of the case. He died of esophageal cancer in 2003, ten years after rising to fame.
Mother: Kris Jenner (11/5/1955)
She was born Kris Houghton in San Diego and grew up in one of the city's suburbs, Unversity City. At 23 years old, she married Robert, she had four children, Kim and her three brothers, and they separated in the early nineties. She shortly after she married Bruce Jenner, today Catylin Jenner, with whom she had two daughters, Kendall and Killey. Her five sons and daughters have already given the matriarch five other grandchildren, despite being only 61 years old.

Years ago, a tape was leaked in which they had sexual relations, a case that was never clarified and that did not prevent the couple, today, from having two children in common, North (born June 15, 2013) and Saint (born December 5, 2015).
Third daughter: Khloé Alexandra Kardashian (06/27/1984)
Kim's little sister was married to NBA player Lamar Odom from 2009 until last year, shortly before, after two days of partying taking cocaine, opiates and Herb Viagra pills, she was found unconscious in a brothel.
