Kris Jenner reveals real reason she's friends with all of her daughters' exes
Over the years, fans of The Kardashians have seen countless love interests come and go.
Whilst some hunks and heartthrobs have stuck around after welcoming a child (or two) with one of the five big-name sisters, others have made rather fleeting appearances in the family's reality TV series.
Apparently, however, while the Kardashian-Jenners themselves might cut ties with their former flames, one individual guaranteed to keep in touch with their exes is 'momager' Kris.
Appearing on Jay Shetty's On Purpose this week, the 70-year-old star admitted she's even enjoyed catch-ups with some of her daughter's most historical beaus, as well as those who attempted to burn their bridges with the brood.

Addressing this hotly-debated habit on Monday (17 Nov), Kris confessed: "I fall in love with people, have lives and years spent with their partners or their boyfriends or their husbands."
As a reminder, the mother-of-six shared her three eldest daughters, Kourtney, 46, Kim, 45, and Khloe, 41, and son Rob, 38, with late lawyer Robert Kardashian. With ex-husband Bruce Jenner (now, Caitlyn), she also welcomed daughters Kendall, 30, Kylie, 28.
Reflecting on her family's high-profile get-togethers, Kris admitted she's always happy to invite her daughter's former partners, including Khloe's ex Tristan Thompson, who attended her 70th birthday party last weekend.
"I have all these memories and travels and Christmas morning celebrations and birthdays and all the fun, the laughter, the joys, the tears, the babies," she continued. "These are, in most cases, the fathers of my grandchildren."
Basketball star Tristan shares a daughter, True, and a son Tatum, with Khloe.
Kris also alluded to Scott Disick, who dated her eldest daughter Kourtney on-off for nine years until their July 2015 break-up.
During their relationship, the couple welcomed three children - sons Mason and Reign, and daughter Penelope - together, with Scott making regular appearances on Keeping Up With The Kardashians.
Kriss described Scott as 'amazing' and claimed would 'always be a special part of our family', and added: "I love these men, and that love doesn’t go away when we experience really challenging times with them. It just doesn’t turn off like that for me."
Despite not mentioning him by name, the star also alluded to her turbulent relationship with daughter Kim's controversial ex-husband Kanye West.
The rapper's behaviour in public began causing concern following a diagnosis of bipolar disorder in 2016, and he ceaselessly hit headlines for making erratic and often offensive remarks online, as well as making damning accusations against Kim's family on social media.
Most notably, in 2020, West branded Kim's mother Kris Jong-un - a reference to North Korean dictator Kim Jong-un.
While she opted not to go into the status of their relationship now, Kris claimed on the podcast that all of her daughters' exes could 'come to me' with their problems, for the sake of the four children Kim and West share.
"What will my grandkids think 20 years from now if their grandmother treated their dad poorly?" she questioned on the podcast. "Or I wasn’t loving and kind and compassionate and forgiving?
"So I teach my kids forgiveness. It’s one of the biggest lessons that I can teach them, to forgive somebody whose treated you badly and move on."
Claiming any family beef had been dealt with 'internally and privately', Kris went on to explain: "We don’t need to talk about these things anymore. It’s been done. It’s dealt with. We’ve talked about it. We all know what’s happened.
We’ve had it on the show or we’ve had it in our lives. Now it’s time to grow the f**k up, be mature. I love who I’ve loved and I don’t like what they’ve done.
"No I don’t. But it doesn’t make the love get any less overnight."
