Kris Jenner’s mom, Mary Jo “MJ” Campbell has died, the “Kardashians” star revealed Thursday.
Campbell was 91.
“Today, we said goodbye to my beautiful Mommy MJ. 😞💔,” the talent manager captioned a lengthy tribute via Instagram.
“There are no words that could ever capture what she has meant to me or the heartbreak of having to say goodbye,” Jenner, 70, continued, calling her mother “the heart of [their] family.”
She added, “[Campbell] taught me everything that truly matters … to love your family fiercely, to be kind, to show up for the people you love, and to never take a single moment together for granted. She taught us that family is everything.
“She showed us how to love unconditionally and how to find joy in the little moments,” Jenner went on. “She showed me how to face life’s challenges with resilience and faith.”
Jenner’s social media upload included a letter to her late parent, reading, “Mom, thank you for every sacrifice you made, every piece of wisdom you shared, and every moment you loved us so completely. I will miss our daily talks, your smile, your laughter.”
She promised that despite their “hearts [being] broken,” Campbell’s love “will live on” in their family traditions.
“When I look at my kids and my grandkids, I will forever see pieces of you in all of us,” the “Keeping Up With the Kardashians” alum continued. “There is not a part of me that isn’t shaped by you. And if I have done anything right in this world, it’s because I spent my life trying to live in a way that would make you proud.”
She concluded, “My heart is broken into a million pieces … thank you for giving me the greatest childhood and oh what a beautiful blessed life … I love you forever Mommy. Thank you for giving us everything.”
Kylie Jenner and Kourtney Kardashian “liked” the post.
The Kylie Cosmetics founder later honored her late grandmother by reposting a throwback clip from an early episode of “Keeping Up with the Kardashians” which showed a young Kylie dancing along with Mary Jo to her Instagram Stories.
Her sister, Kim Kardashian — who came under fire earlier in the day for a poorly timed scheduled social media post — soon followed after with a touching tribute dedicated to her “sweet” grandmother.
“My sweet Grandma MJ, my best friend, my gossip buddy, my forever twin… You taught all of us the importance of family, and those values are something we’ll carry with us forever!!!!! You were the woman who showed me what it meant to be a hardworking businesswoman,” she wrote alongside a carousel of photos showing the reality star and her grandma through the years.
“You gave me my very first job at your store in San Diego and taught me lessons about work ethic, strength, and confidence that I’ve carried with me ever since. You always believed in me, championed me, and were my safe place.”
She closed, adding, “You truly were the matriarch of our family, and your love is woven into all of us. I know you’re at peace now. Give Papa Harry, Aunt Karen, and my dad a hug for me. You will always be a part of me, I love you soooooo much and I will miss you forever and ever. 🤍 YOU ARE THE BEST OF US!!!”
Kourtney and the rest of their siblings — Khloé Kardashian, Rob Kardashian and Kendall Jenner — have yet to share their own statements on Campbell’s passing.
I know you are up in heaven, looking at all of our Instagram posts of you from your sneaky finsta account you would always use lol
Campbell turned 91 in July 2025, with Kris posting about the festivities the following month.
“The most beautiful day celebrating my mom’s 91st birthday,” the reality star gushed last year. “Lunch at The Ivy surrounded by love!🤍💐🎂”
In addition to Kris, Campbell was the mother of Karen Houghton, who died “unexpectedly” of cardiac arrest in March 2024 at 65.
Kris shared the news at the time “with the heaviest heart and deepest sadness,” writing, “I cherish every single memory we have together. … Karen’s passing is a reminder that life is so short and precious and tomorrow is never promised.”
