The truth about Kendall Jenner's twin brother Kirby
Just when you thought you were up to date with all the Kardashians, enter a new famous member of the family: Kirby Jenner, Kendall Jenner's "fraternal twin," or so says his parody Instagram account. Kirby, Kardashian-Jenner's ever-cropped "brother," now has his own eight-episode self-titled show on Quibi, and the whole family is also involved.
To hear Kirby explain it in the trailer for the series, executive producer and mom Kris Jenner persuaded him to do so. “Everyone in my family has already had their own reality shows. So when this network asked me if I wanted to do my own show, I thought, "I don't know." I really hadn't thought of that, Kirby mused (hilariously fake mustache and all). "But then my mom said yes."
"I'm a hobbyist model, I like to skate," Kirby revealed in the short clip, without breaking character. "I'm 24 years old and I guess it's time to start lifting my own weight and helping with the family business."
Kirby Jenner's true identity is a mystery
First things first: Kirby Jenner is the alter-ego of an anonymous influencer, well, as anonymous as you can be when wearing your real face, who created the character's Insta in 2015. Kirby has used the parody account to tense up. as the twin brother of Kendall Jenner, amassing over 1.4 million followers in the process (including Kendall).
Kirby's aesthetic is all about Photoshopping on some of the most famous photos of the KarJenner family, including photos of himself with his "twin sister" Kendall, as well as the rest of the family. In particular, we love this Instagram photo of him eating cereal with Kim Kardashian's husband, Kanye West.
"You are the best kept secret of our generation," Kim told Kirby in the trailer for her Quibi show, and she couldn't be more right. Kirby is not only a "surprise" member of the family, but his "real" identity, as in the person of the actor-influence who represents him, is totally hidden.
Kirby Jenner has a super elaborate backstory
In addition to cultivating the Kirby Jenner persona on Instagram, the comedian behind Kendall Jenner's "twin" increased Kirby's persona prior to his Quibi show by staying in character during interviews. He remained so committed to the role that fans managed to learn little details about Kirby's life along the way - tidbits that are now portrayed in the Kirby Jenner series.
Your hobby of skating from him? Kirby previously discussed it in a 2016 interview with Allure, revealing that he was "too busy with [his] skating career" to appear on Keeping Up with the Kardashians. He has sprinkled many more information crumbs over the years, like the LOL IRL way that he explained that he has asthma. "Sometimes I get upset or really upset if I've had a rough day, and Kendall tries to play Hide Kirby's Inhaler, and I'm just not sorry," he said. Seduce.
Kirby Jenner could make you pee laughing
If it's not obvious enough from the trailer for the Kirby Jenner Quibi series, Kendall Jenner's "twin" is hysterical and always on the mark. In the preview clip, Kirby lists the important talents of each of the sisters, calling Khloé Kardashian "tall" and commenting on how Kourtney Kardashian is "still having babies." The show dives deep into Kirby's life as he does photoshoots with Kendall, searches for a birthday present for his mother Kris Jenner, and more, all while utilizing his heartfelt sincerity and sense of humor.
Kirby perfectly showed this style in 2016, when he revealed in an interview with Teen Vogue that in addition to Kendall, he is also strong with Kylie Jenner. "Kylie and I also spent a lot of time together because we invented a game together called 'How fast can Kirby cook Kylie's breakfast,' where she basically timed me to make her a 3-course breakfast," he wrote. "It's quite fun and then I can see her eat at the end, which is good."
