The Kardashians often find themselves on the wrong end of jokes due to their penchant for changing their partners frequently. Kendall Jenner is often mocked for her numerous flings with NBA stars, while Kim Kardashian’s name is often linked with some of the most famous celebrities out there.
However, the matriarch of the family, Kris Jenner seems to be more in favor of finding a partner for the long-term. Kris’s marriage with Bruce Jenner (now Caitlyn) lasted for more than two decades. She has also spent nearly a decade with her current beau Corey Gamble. The recipe behind such long-term relationships might be Kris’s tight grip on her partners.
Why Kris Jenner Stopped Corey Gamble From Joining Yellowstone
Corey Gamble has very limited acting credits to his name, and most of the time, he’s only in the headlines due to his relationship with Kris Jenner. The pair have been dating since 2014.
However, he regularly features in The Kardashians, a television series following the famous family as they chase different ventures, relationships, and career goals. During Season 4’s premiere of The Kardashians (via PEOPLE), Kris (68) and Gamble (43) talk about the time he turned down a role in Yellowstone.
During the discussion about the Western drama, Gamble teased his girlfriend: “If it wasn’t for you, I would be a Yellowstone star.”
This revelation shocked Kim Kardashian, which prompted a cold answer from Kris. “Correct, because I told him to say no,” she said. Explaining her stance, she admitted, “Because I thought he was gonna have to have a romantic relationship.”
Considering the prominence of Kevin Costner‘s show on American television, this was certainly a huge decision from Kris. Any compelling character arc could’ve heavily influenced the acting career of the 2 Minutes of Fame star.
What Kris Jenner Said About the Idea of Kissing Yellowstone Star Kevin Costner
In the Taylor Sheridan-created series, Costner plays John Dutton, the head of the family that owns the largest ranch in America. The character of the Dances with Wolves star is also the most popular figure of the Paramount Network show, and it seems Kris is his huge fan.
Khloé Kardashian joined the aforementioned conversation and raised an interesting point, which highlighted her mom’s hypocrisy.
“But if they said they wanted you to star and kiss with Kevin Costner, I’m sure you would take it,” Khloé remarked. Kris swiftly replied: “Oh, that’s a hard yes!”
Regardless of the supposed sacrifice and banters, Kris and Corey’s romance is still going strong, suggesting the veteran reality star certainly knows how to handle her relationships, unlike her daughters.
