- We all know about the most famous Kardashian-Jenner family members, including Kim, Khloé, Kourtney, Kylie, Kendall and, of course, ‘momager’ Kris – but what about grandma MJ?
- She’s appeared on Keeping Up with the Kardashians, was married three times just like Kim, and owned a kids’ clothing store in San Diego called Shannon & Company for decades, where Kris once worked
Pretty much every member of the Kardashian-Jenner family has experienced some sort of spotlight on their lives, with some individuals (i.e. Kim, Khloé, Kourtney, Kylie and Kendall) getting more attention than others.
But if you go back a couple of generations, before “momager” Kris Jenner, you’ll find that even their grandma Mary Jo Campbell, aka “MJ”, is equally as glamorous as her famous grandchildren.

And if she looks familiar to you, that’s because she probably is – MJ was one of the crowd favourites to appear in Keeping Up with the Kardashians over the years. And when she’s not stealing the show on reality TV episodes, she’s being featured on her clan’s Instagram accounts.
Here’s what we know about the Kardashian-Jenner grandma – who’s 89 years old and still thriving.
Mary Jo Campbell has been married three times
It’s not just Kim who’s been married thrice in the family. Per People, Arkansas-born MJ married her first husband, her high school sweetheart, when she was just 18, but they went their separate ways after just two months.
