Here are 8 secrets the Kardashians' camera crews had to keep hidden.

1. Kylie Jenner's first pregnancy.

In February 2018, Kylie announced the birth of her and Travis Scott's daughter, Stormi Webster, after keeping her entire pregnancy a secret from fans and media outlets.

However, according to Variety, executive producer Farnaz Farjam, who has worked with the family on their reality show since 2007, the production team knew about Jenner's secret pregnancy.

“Here’s the funny thing about Kylie’s pregnancy,” Farjam told the publication. “She found out she was pregnant while she was filming ‘Life of Kylie.’ We didn’t know. She hid it from the cameras.”

5. The crew found out Khloé was pregnant before her family knew.

During an appearance on "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" Khloé, who was six months pregnant with True, revealed that her "trusty assistant" and a handful of "Keeping Up With the Kardashians" crew knew about her pregnancy.

After Khloé took the pregnancy test, she called her then-boyfriend, Tristan Thompson, who was out of town. The couple decided to wait to tell their families when they were together again.

"So it was Alexa, my assistant, Tristan, and I — we were the only ones that knew for a few weeks until I was able to tell my family,” she told Kimmel.

“It’s actually all caught on Keeping Up, which I’m excited about. They get to see all the stuff I was going through without them knowing!”

6. Kendall only films with a boyfriend if they've been dating for a year.

Out of all her sisters, Kendall has been the one who's been extremely private about her dating life.

The need for privacy also extends to the family's reality show, according to the show's executive producer Farnaz Farjam, who told Variety that Kendall has a rule implemented when it comes to the camera crew filming her relationships.

"I think what people don’t know is how Kendall interacts with her boyfriends because she’s never shown that on the show,” Farjam said.

“Kendall always had this rule that she has to be with someone for at least a year before she even would bring them into the series."

8. They use other people's homes to film exterior shots.

In 2014, Kim came clean with fans, admitting that the Jenner house seen on "Keeping Up With the Kardashians" isn't actually the family home at all.

According to ABC News, Kim answered a fan question about whether it was true the Kardashians use "fake houses" for their reality show.

She explained that they use exterior shots of different homes for "security purposes." 

"My old home in Beverly Hills was really my home & I would get people showing up at all hours ringing my gate & had to call the police on several occasions," she admitted. "People [hopping] the gate & scaring me. It was so unsafe.

"After that, we realized how unsafe it is to show the exterior of our homes. So now we use different homes for the outside for security purposes."

However, she added, "When we film inside, that's obviously our real home."
