Kris Jenner feels “very safe” with Corey Gamble. Their relationship has flourished for nearly a decade, making it one of the more enduring partnerships in the celebrity landscape.
The 69-year-old momager began dating Justin Bieber’s tour manager in 2014 in the wake of the end of her marriage to Caitlyn Jenner and she admitted it was easier to start a relationship with someone who “had worked with a high-profile person” before because it meant Corey understood her family’s lifestyle. Industry insiders note that compatibility with high-profile lifestyles is often a critical factor in the longevity of celebrity relationships.
“He was very well aware of how a life like this goes and all the things that came with it,” speaking to her daughter Khloe Kardashian on her ‘Khloe in Wonderland‘ podcast, she said. “He knew all about security and all about all the drivers and seemed to know everybody in LA and everybody in my life, and it was a very safe feeling to be able to date someone who you didn’t have to explain how our life worked.” The podcast, launched earlier this year, has become a platform for intimate family discussions and has attracted many listeners worldwide.
Kris has six children – Kylie and Kendall Jenner, who she has with Caitlyn, and Kim, Kourtney, Khloe and Rob Kardashian, who she had with her late ex-husband Robert Kardashian – and because Corey has been “around long enough” to see what her showbiz personality children do, she adores the fact he “respects” and “admires” their “focus and vision and creativity”. The Kardashian-Jenner empire has expanded to include numerous successful businesses across fashion, beauty, and media industries.
She added: “I think that anybody who’s watching from the inside, which is very few people, get to really see how we are day-to-day and I think it is amazing for somebody like him to sit back and say, ‘Wow, this is incredible.'” Family sources suggest that Corey has become an integral part of their daily operations, often providing valuable business insights from his extensive entertainment industry experience.
As well as being a mom of six, Kris has 14 grandchildren, and Khloe thinks it is “interesting” that Corey is child-free but is “with someone that has the most kids and grandkids”. The growing Kardashian-Jenner dynasty has become one of the most recognized family units in global media, with their children and grandchildren appearing regularly on their reality shows and social media platforms.
The showbiz matriarch noted: “I think three of them were with me when the night I met him in Spain.” This fateful meeting occurred during a birthday celebration for fashion designer Riccardo Tisci, where several family members were present for what would become a pivotal moment in Kris’s personal life.
And Kris insisted it is essential for her the partners of anyone in their family to get along with the rest of the clan. Family harmony has been a consistent theme throughout their reality television shows, which have documented both conflicts and reconciliations over their years in the spotlight.
She said: “Listen, if one of us is with a partner, we’re kind of all with that partner. It’s like, all for one and one for all. We know that we just want each other to be happy and we all spend all of our time together. So for us, it would never work if you know there was friction with the kids.” Family therapists often point to this united approach as a strength in maintaining family bonds despite the pressures of fame.
The relationship between Kris and Corey has weathered numerous public scrutiny moments, including an age gap that initially drew media attention. Despite this, they’ve maintained a strong partnership that has been featured prominently across their various television projects and social media channels.
Sources close to the family reveal that Corey has been instrumental in handling many behind-the-scenes logistics for the family’s numerous professional obligations, utilizing his background in tour management to help coordinate their complex schedules and security requirements.
The couple’s relationship represents a significant chapter in Kris’s personal journey after her highly publicized divorce from Caitlyn Jenner. Their enduring partnership demonstrates the matriarch’s ability to find happiness while continuing to expand her family’s business empire, which now includes streaming deals, cosmetic lines, clothing brands, and various entrepreneurial ventures.
