is the only Kardashian-Jenner sibling without kids, and for now, she’s happy to have it that way.

“When I was young, I used to say that by 27 I’d love to have kids,” Jenner, 28, revealed in her Vogue June/July 2024 cover story published on Thursday, May 9. “Now I’m past that and I feel like I’m still so young. I’m enjoying my kidless freedom.”

When it comes to her proximity to her family — the model lives the farthest away from her mother ’s California home — Kendall is embracing her independence. “There are days when I look at what they have and think, ‘That’s really special,’” Kendall said of her other siblings. “I do like being a little bit removed, but one day I’ll make my way [closer], probably.”

As for her future in the fashion world, Kendall told Vogue that she looks to her fellow supermodel for inspiration. “She seemed so calm and collected. I really appreciated her energy through it all,” she shared. “And it feels like life outside modeling and family were really important to her.”

Kendall gushed about her younger sister, Kylie Jenner, welcoming her daughter, Stormi, in a March 2018 interview with Vogue, stating, “It’s not that it’s more exciting than any other births in the […]

Kendall continued: “Relationships mean so much to me, and I can’t wait to have a life with someone one day, to have kids, to create a family. Christy just gives good vibes. Maybe she cared a little bit less! I think that’s really cool.” (Turlington, 55, shares daughter Grace, 20, and son Finn, 18, with her husband, .)

Turlington and more of modeling’s biggest names also give Kendall hope for her career down the line. “There are so many women who are older than me who still model at a really high level,” she told Vogue. “I look at people like hot-ass and hot-ass Christy Turlington, and they’re still as gorgeous as ever and having fun with it. [] is f—king bomb. She’s never looked better. I think that that’s only exciting for me, and empowering for me to see women older than me who are smashing it.”

Kendall has been candid over the years about her timeline for having a family. “I go in and out of phases [of having baby fever],” she told E! News in May 2019. “Some days, I’ll be there and I’ll be like, ‘[Oh, my God], I think it’s happening. I think I have the fever.’”

Years later, she joked during a 2022 episode of The Kardashians that her many nieces and nephews sometimes act as “massive birth control” for her. “Just because it is a lot,” she said of pregnancy.
