Because she’s our favorite one out of the bunch, here are 10 things you didn’t know about Kendall!

It’s just something that I’ve kind of always been around.”

5. A Fibbing Habit
When she was young, Kendall liked to fib – a lot. “When I was little, I would always lie about the stupidest things.

I was the biggest liar for no reason,” she told Interview Magazine.
