When Did KUWTK Start? How Old Was Each Kardashian In Season 1?

Keeping Up with the Kardashians is now in season 18, but here’s everything you need to know about when the show first started and how old the family members were when filming began. Viewers are in for a serious throwback when watching the first two seasons of KUWTK; the sisters are almost unrecognizable.

KUWTK is arguably the epitome of reality TV shows. The series, which is centered around the merged Kardashian-Jenner family, features the good, the bad, the ugly, and the hysterically funny moments of their lives. The day-to-day goings-on of the Kardashian household is documented in a mostly natural way, although it’s almost guaranteed that many scenes of the show are set up. Seasons 1 and 2 feature Bruce and Kris Jenner, Kourtney, Kim, Khloe, and Rob Kardashian as well as Kendall and Kylie Jenner.

When did KUWTK start?

Keeping Up With The Kardashians season 1, episode 1 aired on October 14, 2007. Kim described the family in season 1 as “The modern-day Brady Bunch“. When the show first hit screens, the family probably had no idea that it would be such a success. The show, as viewers know it today, looks a little different than it did. Over the years, it has undergone some cast changes. While Rob Kardashian was a main cast member in 2007, he’s now very rarely on the show. Bruce Jenner was also on KUWTK for many years and in season 10 he opened up about his gender transition. Bruce underwent gender reassignment in 2015 which was featured in season 10. Caitlyn later appeared in the show, but she’s not a permanent cast member.

How old were the Kardashians in season 1?

Fans will surely see a stark difference between the Kardashians’ appearance in KUWTK season 1 as opposed to what they look like today. Both Kendall and Kylie were really young at the time, so viewers could expect to have seen the girls’ change a lot from the ages of 10 and 12 to 23 and 25. Fourteen years is a long time to be in the spotlight but it seems that the family has handled it well. If anything they all look much younger than their ages then and now, probably thanks to a little nip and tuck here and there. As of season 1 episode 1, here’s how old each family member was:

• Bruce Jenner – 58 years old
• Kris Jenner – 52 years old
• Kourtney Kardashian – 28 years old
• Kim Kardashian –  27 years old
• Scott Disick – 24 years old
• Khloe Kardashian – 23 years old
• Rob Kardashian – 20 years old
• Kendall Jenner – 12 years old
• Kylie Jenner – 10 years old

Keeping Up with the Kardashians season 1 vs now

Keeping Up with the Kardashians has been running for 13 years in 2020. Fans of the show are patiently waiting for the remainder of season 18 to return to screens as it was postponed due to the Coronavirus pandemic. Season 18, episode 7 is set to air in September 2020. Present-day, the family is still just as it was in 2007, however, with the Kardashian-Jenners having families of their own over the years, there are now a lot more personalities in tow. Off the back of the show, all the family members have had increased popularity. While they had their Dash and Smooch clothing stores, today Kylie Jenner and Kim Kardashian especially are running something of empires business-wise. Kylie is the founder of Kylie Cosmetics while Kim runs KKW Beauty and Skims. Khloe Kardashian has her own clothing company, Good American, and Kourtney runs lifestyle website Poosh.
