Personal life
Born in Los Angeles, California in 1980, Kardashian is of Armenian descent.[1] Her father, the late Robert Kardashian, who was best known for being O. J. Simpson’s lawyer during his murder trial, died September 30, 2003 when Kardashian was 22 years old.[2] Her mother, Kris Jenner, divorced Robert in 1989, and is currently married to former Olympian Bruce Jenner.[3] Kardashian has two sisters, Kourtney and Khloe, and one brother, Robert. She also has three step-brothers, including reality TV star Brody Jenner, one step-sister, and two half-sisters, Kendall and Kylie. Kardashian attended an exclusive all-girls Catholic high school in Los Angeles. As a young woman, she worked at her father's music marketing firm, Movie Tunes. She then parlayed her entrepreneurial instincts into a successful career as a wardrobe stylist for television programs, magazine photo layouts and infomercials. Described by the press as a "stylist." Kardashian has also been said to have a closet organizing business. She also gained attention in the mid-late 2000s for her friendship with heiress and media darling Paris Hilton. Her friendship with socialite Paris Hilton has made her a gossip column favorite. Kardashian is a boutique owner of a high-end clothing store in Calabasas, California called Dash. The store opened in mid 2007 and is co-owned with Kourtney and Khloe Kardashian. Kardashian was little known outside gossip circles until she announced in early 2007 that she was taking legal action to prevent the distribution of a pornographic home video she had made with then-boyfriend Ray J (born William Ray Norwood, Jr., the brother of singer Brandy). In 2000, Kardashian married music producer Damon Thomas, though the couple divorced in 2004.
