The 70-year-old matriarch of the Kardashian clan has been dating the 45-year-old Gamble since 2014.

During the podcast episode aired on April 29, Khloé Kardashian playfully quizzed her mother on whether she embraced the “cougar” label. Initially, Jenner hesitated at the term, but Khloé quickly corrected her, emphasising the notable age gap between the two. “Corey is, like, 30 years younger than you,” Khloé stated, to which Jenner clarified, “He’s 25 years younger than me. Okay, so I’m — I kinda like [being] a cougar.”
The discussion ventured deeper into their relationship, with Jenner reflecting on the nature of love and age. She stated, “For us, age is just a number,” underscoring a perspective that many might not share. The bold mother of six explained that love is unpredictable and cannot be planned: “You don’t plan who you’re gonna fall in love with. You just don’t know.”
Questions around potential marriage were also a topic of conversation on the podcast. When Khloé playfully asked Jenner about marrying Gamble, she responded with a teasing, “You never know.” Demonstrating her playful spirit, Kris joked about Khloé possibly taking on the role of a flower girl at any future nuptials.
Rumours about their relationship status frequently circulate, but Jenner revealed that these speculations tend to affect Gamble more than herself. She expressed confidence in their bond, saying, “I think it probably bothered maybe him more than it bothered me.” Jenner emphasised her busy lifestyle, explaining that she “doesn’t really have time to dwell on things” due to her numerous responsibilities.
The podcast wasn’t the only platform where the couple’s chemistry shone through. Last year, during an episode of “The Kardashians,” Jenner took viewers along on a date night, affectionately calling Gamble her “forever date.” She gushed, “We have the best time together,” highlighting the fulfilment she derives from their companionship.
Gamble, for his part, noted the compatibility of their relationship, saying it has “worked tremendously for your life.” His comments hinted at a mutual understanding of their unique dynamic, both acknowledging the significant age difference while affirming their connection. “You’re gonna be around ’til you’re like 130,” he added jokingly, promising to care for her and ensure her well-being.
Kris Jenner’s candidness about her relationship with Corey Gamble serves to challenge preconceived notions about age and romance. As a public figure, she has often faced scrutiny regarding her personal life, yet she continues to maintain her authenticity and advocate for her happiness.
In a world where relationships are often subjected to strict societal norms, Jenner and Gamble exemplify that love can flourish despite age divides. Their relationship is a testimony to the idea that emotional compatibility often outweighs physical age, allowing them to enjoy moments of joy and companionship.
As the world watches, Kris Jenner and Corey Gamble continue to navigate their life together, embodying a modern perspective on love that resonates with many. Whether they choose to formalise their relationship with marriage remains to be seen, but it is clear that their bond transcends conventional boundaries.
