A family photo posted by Kris Jenner after her 70th birthday bash has set tongues wagging on social media.
The Kardashian-Jenner matriarch posed with her five daughters at the glitzy event, held last Saturday (November 8) at Jeff Bezos’ mansion.
The soirée featured a star-studded guest list, including Beyoncé, Oprah, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, and Mark Zuckerberg.

But of all the celebrity photos from the night, one in particular drew the most attention.
In the viral image, the mom stands at the center in a red Givenchy dress, with her eldest daughters Kim, Khloé, and Kourtney Kardashian on her left, and her youngest, Kendall and Kylie Jenner, on her right.
Analyzing the photo, one user on X/Twitter wrote, “You can tell who her least favorite is.”
The post quickly went viral, amassing over 6.5 million views and thousands of likes. Users soon began theorizing who that might be, analyzing body language, poses, and who was left out of the photo.
“Obviously Kourtney,” suggested one user, while another agreed, “The one wearing black.”
Fans believe the family photo reveals the matriarch’s “least favorite” child
Commenters argued that Kourtney, the eldest daughter, was the least favorite because she didn’t look “photo-ready” in the picture her mom posted to her millions of followers.
While her sisters were all facing the camera, the 46-year-old appeared to be adjusting her hair and was caught in the photo with her eyes closed.
“They want to exclude Kourtney because she exposes what they really look like without surgery,” another user joked, suggesting that the Lemme founder was the most natural of all the sisters.

Others, however, argued that Kris’ “least favorite” might be her only son, Robert Kardashian, who does not appear in the family photo.
“It’s her son.. those who watched the show would know,” one person commented. “The son?? cause where is he,” echoed another.
The 38-year-old rarely appears on the family’s Hulu reality show The Kardashians and is known for being the most private member of the Kardashian-Jenner clan.
Some argued that the eldest, Kourtney, was “excluded,” while others pointed to Rob and Khloé
In July, Rob told sister Khloé on an episode of her podcast that he’s “not comfortable” in his skin.
“Why would I wanna go be on camera and just be vulnerable and let people in? That’s not what I wanna do,” he explained.
After a nine-year hiatus from the show, Rob returned to the series last month, joining his sisters and mom to say goodbye to their beloved family home.
Meanwhile, others shared different theories, claiming that model Kendall Jenner, whom Kris shares with Caitlyn Jenner, was last on the list, while some pointed to Khloé.
“Kendall looks distant from them,” one commenter noted.
“Kris posed like she’s ranking them in real time,” said someone else.
“Khloé remains on the side, just kind of there as she’s always been (unfairly),” wrote one netizen.
Someone else concluded, “Parents who have favorite kids are demonic.”
Kris previously sparked controversy after giving a direct answer when asked who her favorite child is
As it turns out, Kris has actually answered the question in the past.
During a skit on The Late Show with James Corden, the mom was strapped to a lie detector test and named her youngest daughter, Kylie Jenner, as her favorite.
Last year, she played a game of “this or that” on the Instagram account of Khy, Kylie’s clothing brand. The 28-year-old asked her mom to choose between different pairs, like “heels or flats” and “dark nails or neutral nails.” When Kylie asked “Kim or Kylie?” her mom quickly replied, “Kylie.”
Speaking on the Call Her Daddy podcast, Khloé said her mom’s answer changes depending on which child is “doing the most” and who’s asking the question.
“If she was here, she’d say me because I’m here. But it always goes between Kim and Kylie,” she said. “It doesn’t bother me, cause I’m also like, ‘Girl, you’re the one that calls me for everything,’ so we’re good.”
Kris manages all of her children’s careers, though she has admitted they’ve each tried to fire her at some point

The billionaire family became world-famous when their reality show, Keeping Up With The Kardashians, premiered on E! in 2007.
While the surname was already well-known, as their late father, Robert Kardashian, was a defense attorney during O.J. Simpson’s 1995 trial, the show turned every member of the blended family into a superstar.

Today, each of the six children runs their own business in industries ranging from clothing and beauty to wellness and food. Their manager, or “momager” as she’s known by fans of the show, is the family matriarch, Kris.
Speaking with WSJ Magazine, the 70-year-old revealed that all of her children have tried to fire her at least once.
“Kourtney probably three or four times, and that’s just a day,” she joked.
“I think when it’s your child you go over and above anything that would be required of you if you were just a proper person getting a typical paycheck.
“So I think for me I’ve got the advantage of just being totally dedicated to the kids and wanting the best for them and really going the extra mile and spending the extra time.”
