Kris Jenner’s mom, Mary Jo “MJ” Shannon, has died at the age of 91. Jenner announced the news on July 16 through an emotional Instagram tribute, where she spoke on the impact her mother had on her life and family.

“Today, we said goodbye to my beautiful Mommy MJ,” Jenner wrote. “There are no words that could ever capture what she has meant to me or the heartbreak of having to say goodbye. My mom was the heart of our family. She taught me everything that truly matters … to love your family fiercely, to be kind, to show up for the people you love, and to never take a single moment together for granted.”

In the tribute, Jenner expressed how difficult the loss has been, noting that their hearts are broken but that her mother’s love will continue to live on through the family. Jenner also thanked her for the sacrifices she made, the lessons she shared, and the love she gave throughout her life, adding, “When I look at my kids and my grandkids, I will forever see pieces of you in all of us. There is not a part of me that isn’t shaped by you. And if I have done anything right in this world, it’s because I spent my life trying to live in a way that would make you proud.”

Before the Kardashian-Jenner family became widely known, MJ founded a children’s boutique called Shannon & Co. in San Diego in 1980. She also worked as an etiquette teacher, model, and entrepreneur.

MJ was married to engineer Robert Houghton, with whom she welcomed Kris Jenner in 1955. The couple later separated when Jenner was 7. She later married businessman Harry Shannon, who helped raise Jenner and her sister in San Diego. The couple stayed together for about 40 years until Harry died in a car crash in 2003.

Over the years, MJ also made appearances on Keeping Up with the Kardashians and the family’s follow-up Hulu series. In one episode, Kim Kardashian spoke about her grandmother’s health journey, including how she survived colon cancer and breast cancer, while later dealing with health challenges linked to her cancer treatments.

Following the news of her passing, tributes also came in from other family members. Kim Kardashian shared a heartfelt message, describing her grandmother as her “best friend” and someone who played a major role in shaping her values. She also revealed that MJ gave her first job at the family store, teaching her lessons about work ethic and confidence that stayed with her.

Anne Hathaway made an appearance on The Late Night with Seth Meyers, where she revealed how expecting her third child with her husband, Adam Shulman, has been nothing short of amazing. The Odyssey star then explained that she and her husband were actually “shocked” when they learned she was pregnant.

“Oh my gosh, it’s amazing, it’s amazing. I mean, we knew what we were doing, but we were shocked it worked. We were shocked it went this way, so we are calling this one our buzzer beater,” she told Seth Meyers.

Hathaway and her husband, Adam Shulman, are parents to two sons, Jonathan and Jack, who are 10 and 6 years old, respectively. She recently revealed she was expecting her third child through an Instagram video shared on June 19, where she appeared in a flowing white dress, walking straight toward the camera while cradling her baby bump before playfully exiting the frame, captioning the post, “x, baby, I’m yours, x.”

According to a source who spoke to People following the announcement, Hathaway has been embracing this moment with gratitude. “She’s grateful for where she is in her career and for the opportunity to be part of a film that means so much to so many people. Complaining just isn’t Anne. She approaches things with gratitude and professionalism,” the source said. The insider added that she is currently focused on her family as she prepares to welcome baby number three, while also looking forward to the release of The Odyssey, which arrives on July 17 and Verity.

The source also revealed that Hathaway intentionally waited before announcing her pregnancy during the promotional tour for The Devil Wears Prada 2. The reason was that the 43-year-old wanted the spotlight to remain on the movie rather than shifting to her personal life. “Anne was excited about the movie and wanted the attention to stay on the project. She has always been very good at separating her personal life from her work life. She wanted to reveal the pregnancy on her own terms,” the insider explained, adding that the press tour was about celebrating the film and getting fans excited.

Now that the news is finally out, Hathaway has been balancing both her career and personal life. The actress has recently been appearing on the press tour for The Odyssey, in which she stars as Penelope. The film also features stars like Tom Holland, Zendaya, Matt Damon, and others. Throughout the tour, she has stepped out in different looks, showcasing her growing baby bump.

During her appearance on Late Night with Seth Meyers, Hathaway chose an ivory two-piece from Zac Posen for GapStudio. The look featured a breezy top with slim straps, merged with a flowing long skirt. She styled it with transparent Aquazzura stilettos and accessorized with silver jewelry, including dangling earrings, a bracelet, and rings. Her hair was left in soft, bouncy curls that rested around her shoulders, completing the look.
