Kris Jenner Opens Up About The Affair That Ruined Her Marriage

Kris Jenner is being candid about some of the low points in her life that led her to become the successful momager she is today. Jenner sat down for an interview with Diane Von Furstenberg for her podcast In Charge With DVF and discussed the affair during her marriage to Robert Kardashian that ruined their union.

“I got married when I was very, very young. I met Robert when I was 18 years old,” she explained. “We dated for four years, got married at 22, sooner or later during my life when I was in my 30s, I had an affair, and my biggest regret was the fact that it broke up my family.”

The reality show star was candid about her regrets during that difficult time and credited the ordeal with helping her grow up.

“I didn’t know what to do. I had four kids; I was single. I didn’t know where I was going to live; I didn’t know what I was going to do,” she said of the aftermath of her affair. “I didn’t know how I was going to make a living. It was the scariest time to be that young. I think I was 32 years old, and I had four children. My son was maybe a year old, and it was scary. I was really, really scared. I remember picking myself up by my bootstraps one day. I have deep faith in God. I just started praying that God would just strengthen me, give me that power, give me the ability to be in charge of my own life. It was my turn to really grow up.”

Jenner also shared that she worked “several different jobs” during her transitional period and met her ex-husband Bruce Jenner at the time after a friend set them up.

Kris credited Bruce with helping her find her passion for managing schedules for his speaking engagements and ultimately becoming the dynamic momager she is today.
