Kris Jenner once admitted that her late ex-husband, Robert Kardashian, had 'unrestricted access' to her home whilst she was married to Caitlyn Jenner, then Bruce, in a podcast appearance.
Back in November, the reality TV star opened up about why she still remains close with her children's exes, including the likes of Kanye West, Scott Disick and Tristan Thompson, despite them parting ways with her daughters Kim, Kourtney and Khloé Kardashian.
Kris and Robert Sr. also shared a son, Rob Kardashian Jr.
"These are—in most cases—the fathers of my grandchildren, and I love these men," she told Jay Shetty on his On Purpose podcast. "That love doesn't go away when we experience really challenging times with them.

"It doesn't turn off like that for me."
Kris continued: "What would my grandkids think 20 years from now if their grandmother treated their dad poorly?
"I teach my kids forgiveness. It's one of the biggest lessons that I can teach them: to forgive somebody who's treated you badly and move on. You may not completely forget, but you need to forgive."
Kris explained that she extended such warmth to her grandchildren's fathers after years of navigating her own blended family following her divorce from Robert in 1991 before remarrying her now-ex Caitlin later on that year.
"It took a couple years, but it was what I had learned from people that were in my life in previous years," she explained. "[Robert] walked through that back door whenever he wanted, knowing there would be dinner on the table at 6:00 and he was always welcome.
"And it's the same way I now treat all of my kids’ exes."
The momager, who shares daughters Kendall and Kylie with Caitlyn, carried on: 'It was all about the kids because if you sit and berate your partner over and over and over again to the kids, it really creates so much damage psychologically, emotionally, physically, spiritually, all of it.
"Children don't know how to process that; it's a grief. It's a separation."
Kris added: "Robert Kardashian came to Kendall and Kylie's first birthdays. And he was there for every celebration. And they called him Uncle Robert."
Robert died on September 30, 2003, at the age of 59.
The American attorney and businessman, who is best known for his role on O.J. Simpson's defence team, passed away at his Encino home in Los Angeles just two months after being diagnosed with oesophageal cancer.
