Cynthia Rowley’s Daughter Kit Keenan Insists She Paid for Her New York City Apartment ‘All by Myself’

by Kelsi Karruli

Fashion designer Cynthia Rowley's daughter, Kit Keenan, has revealed that she purchased her New York City apartment "all by myself."

The 26-year-old took to TikTok to clear up allegations that her mom, 67, had helped her secure a dwelling in the Big Apple.

The social media sensation offered her over 342,000 followers a "little bit of context" on her living situation after revealing that she had purchased a pad in NYC earlier this month, as she confessed that she "grew up with immense privilege."

“I grew up with immense privilege and an incredibly supportive family,” Keenan said in the TikTok video. “My mom didn’t buy this apartment, but she did let me live at home until age 26.”

Keenan noted that she had been "aggressively" saving her money while living under her mom's roof.

The influencer added, “She also introduced me to my accountant and my financial advising team at age 18 when I made my first paycheck. She led by example and showed me the importance of financial independence as a woman and why investing in real estate matters.”

The influencer continued to gush about her mother, who shares Keenan with her ex-spouse William Keenan Jr. and Gigi, 20, with her current husband, William Powers, and became a household name in 1988 thanks to her fashion label.

“[My mom’s] career and notoriety has given me so much access. I’ve definitely capitalized on it on my own social media.

"It also allowed me to get on a reality TV show at age 21, which introduced me to an audience far beyond my original niche," she said, referring to her brief time on "The Bachelor."

Keenan assured her fans that her mom "didn’t cosign [her] loan or contribute to [the] down payment or pay for [her] mortgage” at all.

“I think it’s OK to say I’m very proud to have done that all by myself. I’ll be honest and say I wanted to share this, partially because of my own ego, but I also want to pen this conversation because this is genuinely my dream job.”

She noted that she was thankful for her career as an influencer, adding that it has “created opportunities far beyond [her] wildest dreams.”

“I’ve also watched it create stability and independence for so many of my peers. If you’ve been curious about creating content and embarrassment is what’s holding you back, I want you to know it has been so worth it for me in more ways than I could have ever expected," she added.

Keenan closed on the property on Dec. 23.

“Today is a very exciting day because I’m closing on my apartment. I’m so nervous, and as much as I feel excited, I also feel like this is way over my head. How am I doing this? How did I get to this point? It’s been such a long time coming and so many years of saving.

“[I’m] so proud of myself and so excited for this new chapter,” she said in a previous video.
