Kendall Jenner Ditching The Spotlight For Socal Dream Home Designs!

Kendall’s Big Exit from Hollywood Glam

Hold onto your avocado toast, LA fam - Kendall Jenner is plotting a major pivot away from the glitz and glam of Hollywood. The 29-year-old reality star and runway queen, who first strutted into our lives on Keeping Up With The Kardashians, is ready to hang up her modeling heels and camera-ready smile for something way more low-key: designing dream homes.

Born and bred in the SoCal spotlight, Kendall’s been juggling catwalks and the family’s latest Hulu hit, The Kardashians, for years. But now, she’s craving that laid-back, Malibu-style vibe over red carpet chaos. She’s got her sights set on a life where sweatpants and no-makeup selfies rule the day.

"I’m dead serious about stepping away from it all to just create beautiful spaces - homes that feel like a total escape," Kendall reportedly told a close friend during a recent West Hollywood brunch.

Swapping Runways for Blueprints

In a candid chat with Vogue, Kendall dropped the bombshell that’s got everyone buzzing from Venice Beach to the Valley. She’s all about embracing "the simple life" - think early morning dips in the Pacific and designing spaces that scream SoCal serenity. "I love my LA spot, but I’m also obsessed with just being free with my day," she shared, hinting at her desire to ditch the planner life for spontaneous vibes.

During the same convo with her ride-or-die, Gigi Hadid, Kendall spilled that she’s already crafting a new home base outside the LA hustle. And Gigi’s totally on board, admitting Kendall’s one of the few peeps she’d trust to design her a crib. Talk about a bestie stamp of approval!

A Childhood That Felt Kinda Normal - Even in Calabasas

Despite growing up under the reality TV sun - first appearing on Keeping Up With The Kardashians back in 2007 - Kendall insists her early years felt surprisingly chill for a Calabasas kid (that’s Kardashian central for the uninitiated, a ritzy suburb northwest of LA). Reflecting on those days, she credits a solid support system for keeping things grounded while cameras rolled at home.

On Emma Chamberlain’s Anything Goes podcast, Kendall got real about balancing school with stardom. "Kylie and I went to regular school as long as we could, even with a TV show at home," she explained, noting how homeschooling kicked in for her last two high school years. Friends from pre-fame days and a tight-knit fam helped her and younger sis Kylie dodge the full Hollywood circus.

Gratitude for the OG Siblings and Stability

Kendall’s quick to shout out the fam for keeping her sane amidst the reality TV whirlwind. "Kylie and I had so much stability and love growing up - plus a killer support system," she said, giving props to their older siblings for paving the way. Watching them navigate fame first was like having a roadmap through the madness.

Even with the occasional struggle, Kendall’s all about gratitude for how her childhood played out. "We could step back and just be normal a lot of the time," she mused, reflecting on a life that could’ve been way messier without that foundation. So, as she preps to trade LA’s spotlight for a quieter design gig, it’s clear this SoCal star’s got her roots to thank for keeping her grounded.
