Kendall Jenner demonstrated her sporting skills at a charity softball game in Texas.

The model, who turned 26 earlier this week, is the daughter of former gold medal-winning Olympic decathlete Caitlyn Jenner - who was formerly known as Bruce.

And the star showed off her own sporting skills at the game in Houston, Texas on Thursday, held to raise funds for the Cactus Jack Foundation.

The event was hosted by the charity of Travis Scott, who is dating Kendall’s sister Kylie.

Kylie, who is pregnant with her second child, was at the event and posed for a picture with her sister while holding up a handmade sign that said: “Kendall Jenner is our MVP [most valued player]”

Jenner’s softball team was a blend of athletes and celebrities.

She played with songstress SZA, rapper Don Toliver, producer Metro Boomin, and rapper/DJ Paul Wall plus softball pro A.J. Andrews.

Her sister Kylie confirmed she is expecting her second child with rapper Scott in September.

The reality TV star and cosmetics entrepreneur announced the news in a 90-second video shared to Instagram, revealing the moment she told her mother, Kris Jenner.

It opened with Kylie, 24, holding a pregnancy test before showing it to Scott, 30.

The Houston-born rapper was then seen hugging her belly.

The couple’s three-year-old daughter Stormi attended a doctors appointment to catch a first glimpse of the baby and handed mother Jenner, 65, an envelope containing the ultrasound scans.

“Are you pregnant?” the family matriarch asked. “Stormi, we’re gonna have a baby! This is one of the happiest days of my life.”

Meanwhile, the matriarch has revealed rock star Travis Barker sought her permission before asking her daughter Kourtney Kardashian to marry him.

The Blink-182 drummer, 45, popped the question to the reality TV star, 42, earlier this month after less than a year of dating.

He got down on one knee for an elaborate proposal at a beach in Montecito, California, near to Santa Barbara.

During an appearance on The Ellen DeGeneres Show Jenner said Barker arranged the proposal “all on his own” but came to her first to ask permission to marry her daughter.

“He’s a sweetheart,” she said of her future son-in-law. “And they’re so happy, they can’t wait.”
