Kendall Jenner Reveals How She Navigates "Heated" Conversations With Momager Kris Jenner
It takes work to keep up with Kris Jenner. Just ask her daughter.
Kendall Jenner shared insight into her unique dynamic with the Kardashian-Jenner momager, admitting that business does bleed into their family time—and vice versa.
"My mom is my mom, but she's also my manager," the supermodel told Forbes in an interview published Nov. 28, "so we have moments like when we're talking on the phone and we're talking about business—and we're maybe having a heated conversation about something—and then all of a sudden she's like, 'OK, I love you.'"
While there are "confusing moments" at times, Kendall said the mother-daughter duo do know how to separate work from family matters.
"We have our moments," the 28-year-old said, "but at the end of the day, I think we're really good at compartmentalizing."
In fact, Kendall noted that she and the rest of the family—including sisters Kim Kardashian, Khloe Kardashian, Kourtney Kardashian and Kylie Jenner—have become "pretty pro" at finding a healthy work life balance.
As for her personal life? Well, that's Kendall's own business.
"I like to keep private stuff private," explained the 818 Tequila founder, who has been linked to Bad Bunny since February. "I've always kind of been that way even since I was a kid."
Kendall added, "It just makes me happy to keep things sacred and safe. That also leaves a little bit more room for people to create their own narratives, but I think I've accepted that. I know that the people around me, the people that love me, the people that I want to know those things about me—my quirky side, my silly side, my freaky weird side—all my special people around me know and I'm happy with that."

Why, yes, Kris Jenner and longtime love Corey Gamble are still doing amazing, sweetie. Nearly nine years ago, the music industry insider approached the world's most famous momager at fashion designer Riccardo Tisci's 40th birthday bash in Ibiza and "I just tried saying, 'You're beautiful. I'd love to get to know you,'" he shared on the family's OG series, Keeping Up With the Kardashians, "and it went from there."
A decade on, Kris is still loving life with her "walking, talking Luther Vandross song." Marking his 42nd birthday last November, the 67-year-old thanked him "for bringing so much love and light into my life. You are so smart, kind, generous, funny, protective, and creative. You remind me every day how blessed and lucky we are."
With all due respect for all the small things, Kourtney Kardashian's husband has made some pretty grand gestures throughout their yearlong marriage. Take her 44th birthday this past April that saw her and Travis Barker take a trip up the California coast to Santa Barbara. The Blink-182 drummer, 47, marked the occasion by filling their room at the famed Kennedy Cottage with rose petals and gifting her with a $161,819 piece by artist Yoshitomo Nara.
In turn, Poosh founder, pregnant with their first child together, has fully embraced her new life as the girl at the rock show. "One year," she wrote on Instagram marking their first anniversary May 15, "forever to go."
As Kim Kardashian put it in a trailer of The Kardashians, "Things change really quickly." When season two wrapped, the 42-year-old was still living it up with then-Saturday Night Live standout Pete Davidson.
Then, over the summer, she got fans hoping she was getting back in the dating game with retired NFL quarterback Tom Brady.
Alas, the mom to North West, Saint West, Chicago West and Psalm West—with ex-husband Kanye West—wasn't on the hunt for a new teammate. "They have friends and business partners in common, but [are] not dating," a source told E! News. "Kim is very focused on her kids, her businesses, law school and preparing for American Horror Story."
As for those rumors she's dating Odell Beckham Jr.? Well, as a source told E! in September, "She's not seriously dating anyone at the moment but open to finding love again if she meets the right person."
In an episode last season, Kris shoots her shot while chatting with Khloe Kardashian about Tristan Thompson, asking, "How's everything going with Tristan?" Safe to say the Good American founder, 39, has the L.A. Lakers power forward benched for now. Though the exes have worked out a game plan for raising daughter True, 5, and son Tatum, 13 months, Khloe recently shot down the idea that they're back together, calling the narrative "tiring."
She's more interested in starting a fresh story. After meeting Love Is Blind star Alexa Lemieux in April, Khloe pitched a winning idea to Netflix, writing on Instagram, "I think some of us single K sisters should go on LIB. What do you think?"
Months after Kendall Jenner's split with NBA guard Devin Booker last fall, the model's love life got an assist from friends Justin Bieber and Hailey Bieber. The married duo were spotted enjoying a double date with the reality star, 27, and musician Bad Bunny, 29, in February. Several months, one tropical vacation and several coordinated fashion moments later, the new pair is still collaborating.
Seems Kylie Jenner has found herself a new beautiful boy. Last seen publicly with rapper Travis Scott—dad to her daughter Stormi, 5, and son Aire, 15 months—at an Art Basel party in December, the beauty mogul, 25, has been linked to Oscar-nominated actor Timothée Chalamet, 27, since April. Now, rise and shine because you don't want to miss the glimpses they've given us of their romance at New York Fashion Week and the US Open.
