What We Know About Kris Jenner's Mom Mary Jo 'MJ' Campbell
By Aria Murphy
Kim Kardashian isn't the only one in the family who has been married more than once. The SKIMS creator's grandma, Mary Jo "MJ" Campbell, has also walked down the aisle several times. According to the Daily Mail, Kardashian sat down to interview MJ for her website, and it was during the interview that MJ revealed she was just 18 years old when she first got married. She shared, "I was married for two months at 18. Right out of high school, I was given an engagement ring. Guy I had been going with for four years."
However, similar to Kardashian, her marriage didn't last long. MJ shared, "I just thought, 'This really isn't that much fun,' so I got out of it. Once you got married you realized, 'Oh what did I do?' You know, and you try to stay in there for a month or so." After MJ divorced her first husband, she moved on to Kris Jenner's father, Robert Houghton. According to Biography, the couple welcomed a young Jenner and her sister, Karen, before they divorced in 1962. After her divorce, MJ went on to marry Harry Shannon, per The U.S. Sun. Unfortunately, after 40 years of marriage, Shannon tragically died in a car accident in 2003. Shannon and MJ's daughters were incredibly close, and Jenner shared that his death was "devastating" for the entire family, per Haute Living. After his passing, MJ remained unmarried.
