On the heels of the finale of The People v. OJ Simpson, Kendall Jenner is opening up about her personal connection to the "Trial of the Century."

Though the trial took place before Kendall was born, the acquittal of former football great O.J. Simpson from the double murders of ex-wife Nicole Brown Simpson and Ronald Goldman left an indelible imprint on Kendall's mother, Kris Jenner, who was best friends with Nicole.

In a Snapchat story posted on Saturday, Kendall revealed that her mother commemorated Nicole's life through her. "My middle name is Nicole. (It's) after Nicole Brown Simpson because that was my mom's best friend," Kendall said. "And I'm honored to have this name."
