The Kardashian-Jenner family mourns the passing of their beloved matriarch
The Kardashian-Jenner family is in mourning today, July 16, as Kris Jenner announced the passing of her beloved mother, Mary Jo “MJ” Shannon (née Campbell), who died at the remarkable age of 91.
Kris Jenner, the famous momager and mastermind behind one of the world’s most recognised celebrity families, broke the heartbreaking news to her millions of followers on social media, writing: “Today, we said good…”
MJ Shannon was well known to fans of the long-running reality TV show Keeping Up With the Kardashians*, where she became a fan favourite for her warm personality and sharp wit. To many Nigerian fans of the franchise who have followed the Kardashian-Jenner family over the years, MJ was that classic *iya agba — the beloved grandmother whose presence held the entire family together.
At 91, MJ lived a full and impactful life, leaving behind a legacy that extends far beyond television screens. She raised Kris Jenner, who went on to build one of the most powerful celebrity empires in entertainment history — a testament to the strength and values instilled in her from home.
As Nigerians, we understand deeply the pain of losing a mother or grandmother. There is a saying that “Iya ni wura, iya ni juwelo” — mother is gold, mother is a jewel. The loss of a matriarch is never easy, and the Kardashian-Jenner family deserves all the love and prayers during this difficult time.
Our thoughts and condolences go out to Kris Jenner, her children — Kourtney, Kim, Khloé, Rob, Kendall, and Kylie — and the entire family as they navigate this period of grief.
May MJ Shannon’s soul rest in perfect peace. 🕊️
