This dollhouse wasn't the typical pink, plastic dream house made by Mattel, but a more traditional looking house that was "Barbie-sized." Among the rooms was a nursery for a Barbie baby, which posed a problem: Barbie is technically not married and, technically, she can never have a baby.
No, Barbie Has Never Been Pregnant.
The only doll whose age is definitively known is Chelsea, who turns six during Happy Birthday Chelsea. Skipper appears to be between 14 and 16 years old, while Stacie falls somewhere in between her two sisters.
Kelly Roberts is the younger sister of Barbie, Skipper and Stacie and the older sister of Krissy. Kelly was introduced in 1995 and retired in 2010.

Skipper. Skipper is Barbie's first sister who debuted in 1964. She was Barbie's little sister back then and was 10 years old when she was first introduced. Nowadays, she comes as a teenage girl doll with dark brown hair, sometimes brunette, and pink/purple highlights.

February 14, 2004: Barbie and Ken officially broke up.
The newspaper assigned the split to Ken's failure to commit and Barbie's excitement to commit, wearing multiple wedding gowns. This was also a year that Barbie ran for president, so she was quite busy.
1961-present: Ken Carson was introduced on March 11, 1961. He was named after Kenneth, the son of Barbie creator Ruth Handler. Ken's backstory is that, like Barbie, he is from Willows, Wisconsin.
Kenneth Sean Carson is a fashion doll and fictional character invented by Elliot Handler and introduced by American toy company Mattel in 1961 as the counterpart of Barbie, who was introduced two years earlier.
Skipper Madison Roberts was the original little sister of Barbie, and has been quite popular over the years.
Ken has had styles, careers, and friends over the years. Ken met Barbie in 1961 on the set of their first television commercial together. The couple fell in love and started dating. Barbie broke up with Ken on Valentine's Day in 2004.
Barbie had a sister—Bild-Lilli, a buxom, flirtatious and racy doll marketed to men. And though the risqué 1955 doll has largely been overshadowed by the success of the American toy, she plays a part in the origin story of an American icon.
The original Midge, waistline skinny as can be, was first introduced in the early 1960s. In 2002 she was pregnant, the subject of controversy, and was pulled from store shelves after parents complained the doll, packaged alone without family members, sent the wrong message.
Barbie has been the woman who can do anything and everything yet in all that time, Barbie has never become a mom. There are a few possible reasons for that but the likeliest one is that Mattel has simply never really envisioned Barbie in a mom role.
Malibu Ken, the first African-American Ken doll, came along in 1982. Growing up, my parents didn't buy me Barbie dolls because they didn't look like me.
Technically, Ken has no official age (he is a doll, after all) although he was first introduced as Barbie's boyfriend on March 11, 1961, which means he has been around for 62 years. (Barbie was created in 1959, which would make her 64.)
Soon thereafter, Toy Fair 2004 introduced another male doll in to Barbie's Cali Girl beach-themed line of toys. This was Blaine, a boogie boarding Australian native, who is now dating Barbie.
Physical Appearance and Personality
Skipper is a natural blonde, but she dyed her hair brunette. She is a young teenager, and she has light skin and blue eyes. In her recent appearances, she has highlights in her hair, in colors such as blue, pink and purple.
In 1968, Mattel created Christie. Christie had the same body as Barbie so that their clothes were interchangeable. But her face was a new design intended to highlight the facial features of a Black woman. Many consider Christie to be the first “Black Barbie.” Christie was part of a series of talking dolls.
Barbie® has lots of best friends, but her oldest friend is Midge® (shown here), who she grew up with in Willows. Barbie was even Midge's maid-of-honor at her wedding to Alan in 1991.
First introduced in 1959, the Barbie doll is officially 64 years old. If Barbie doesn't exactly look like a baby boomer, it might be because when Barbie was released she was meant to be 19 and plastic dolls aren't usually subject to the aging process.
While some on social are wondering how Barbie snagged a girlfriend before them, or when exactly she came out, Aimee Song weighed in to make the relationship Twitter-official. “I am the girlfriend,” Aimee tweeted, alongside a photo of herself and her Barbie likeness wearing her “Love Wins” t-shirts.
Raquelle is a major character and the main antagonist in Barbie: Life in the Dreamhouse. She resides in The Raquelle Mansion. She is Ryan's twin sister and is also Barbie's frenemy.
