Robert Kardashian and Kris Jenner, 1978
We’re all familiar with the scandalous Kardashian sisters today, but before the cameras started following the Kardashian family around nearly 24/7, an unknown young woman named Kristen Mary Houghton married a determined up-and-coming lawyer, Robert Kardashian. Their wedding took place back in 1978.
Robert Kardashian, who later became widely known for being O.J. Simpson’s defense attorney during the nineties, said he had to propose twice to Kris before she accepted. They had 4 children during their marriage, Kourtney, Kim, Khloe, and Robert Jr, who all rose to universal stardom thanks to the successful reality show, Keeping Up with the Kardashians. The pair eventually split up in 1991. Robert Kardashian unexpectedly passed away from illness in 2003.
