Mary Jo “MJ” Campbell, known affectionately as Grandma MJ, celebrated her 91st birthday on July 26, 2025 in elegant style as the Kardashian‑Jenner family transformed a family gathering into a garden‑themed fête fit for royalty. The afternoon affair blossomed with the kind of charm and warmth the family matriarch has inspired over her long and storied life. MJ, the mother of Kris Jenner and grandmother to her famous brood, greeted the day in a rose‑covered pantsuit that matched perfectly with the floral décor surrounding her, and dazzled guests with her characteristic bob hairstyle and radiant smile.

She seemed genuinely moved as the family serenaded her with “Happy Birthday.” When the final notes faded, one joyful guest teased “Don’t make me cry!” prompting MJ to place her hand over her heart, a brief, moving moment sealed in family love and admiration.

Social media lighted up the following day as Kylie Jenner, Khloé Kardashian and Kourtney Kardashian all shared highlights from the celebration on Instagram. Kylie posted candid snapshots of her daughter Stormi, just seven years old, dressed to impress while striking poses at Grandma MJ’s side. There was also a joyful image of Kourtney, Kylie and Kris all voguing with MJ striking a fun and stylish pose in the center, capturing four generations of empowerment and grace. Kylie captioned her carousel “91 years of MJ, the queeeeen. We love you.” It was a message that echoed across platforms and hearts.

When the dessert arrived it was an orange‑iced sheet cake topped generously with real roses in shades of pink, orange and red. The cake topped off a garden‑inspired menu featuring fresh fruit, crisp salads and elegant cocktails served beneath canopies of foliage. It felt less like a party and more like a poetic celebration of life, legacy and love. The family’s shared memories and the laughter of the grandchildren created an atmosphere that seemed to shimmer in the summer light.

The event reinforced not only MJ’s status as family matriarch but also her role as a guiding force whose values shaped a generation. Kim has referred to MJ as her “main idol,” noting in past posts how her grandmother battled and beat cancer twice while supporting her family and running her own clothing store. Kim has repeatedly described MJ as the strongest person she knows and credited her with teaching by example. These themes were woven throughout the celebration, from heartfelt Instagram tributes to casual, affection‑filled moments during the gathering.

As the family gathered under flower‑draped gazebos and shared stories across generations, it was clear that MJ remains the connective tissue binding them. She has been the heart of their family through ups and downs, shaping who they are with unwavering love and practical wisdom. From childhood summers in her home to the Sunday tea sessions shared with Kris and her sisters, MJ’s influence is visible in their lives still. She represents a legacy of strength, kindness and resilience. In Kim’s own words MJ has “always given me the realest best advice.”

In past milestone celebrations including her 90th birthday the year before the family incorporated nostalgic touches like Princess Diana Beanie Babies, originally sold by MJ in her children’s clothing store three decades ago. At the garden party for her 91st birthday the elegance was understated yet meaningful a rose suit, fresh blooms, a cake that echoed the beauty of the day and family gathered in celebration of life lived fully. These choices underscored the tradition of honoring memory alongside the present.

The gathering included four generations spanning from MJ herself to her great‑grandchildren: Kim’s kids North, Saint, Chicago and Psalm, Kourtney’s kids Penelope and Reign, Khloé’s daughter True and Kylie’s daughter Stormi. Their youthful energy mingled with MJ’s sparkling presence to create a tapestry of love and continuity. Smiles were captured in still photos and video clips alike several shared on Instagram stories and posts preserving the joyful celebration for posterity.

When the guests sang together MJ’s face lit up, her hand touching her chest as though absorbing each syllable. That moment encapsulated everything: the reverence the family feels for her, the generational legacy she represents and the emotional centerpiece of a life lived at the center of family history.

To mark the occasion Kris Jenner gave tribute in emotional posts, recalling how MJ taught her to value kindness, generosity and independence. Her gratitude for those lessons was evident in the tone of her tribute, which framed her mother not only as a parent but a hero, confidante and friend. In previous celebrations Kris emphasized that MJ taught by example and instilled in her an ethic of hard work balanced with compassion. Those themes resounded again in the warmth of this celebration.

This 91st birthday was far more than a party. It was a public homage to a life that has quietly shaped one of the most famous families in America through values rather than headlines. The garden theme nodded to growth, renewal and continued life while the rose motif honored the blooming story of MJ’s years. The family’s tributes and candid images reaffirmed that legacy of love, endurance, service and style is evergreen.

Mary Jo “MJ” Campbell stood at its center smiling and strong at 91. The celebration felt like a personal coronation of all she represents: family, perseverance and timeless grace. And as the sun set on that summer celebration it was clear that MJ remains eternally the queen of her family’s hearts.
