Kris Jenner, the matriarch of the Kardashian-Jenner clan, has found herself at the center of controversy yet again, this time due to rumors of wedding plans with her longtime partner, Corey Gamble. The twist? Corey is the same age as Kris’s eldest daughter, Kourtney Kardashian, a detail that has not gone unnoticed by fans and critics alike
Kris Jenner, 68, and Corey Gamble, 43, have been dating since 2014. Their relationship, often labeled a “May-December romance” due to their significant age difference, has always attracted attention. However, the latest rumors suggesting that Kris and Corey might be planning to tie the knot have ignited a firestorm of criticism on social media.
Many fans of the Kardashian-Jenner family, who have followed their lives through the ups and downs, have taken to platforms like Twitter and Instagram to voice their opinions. Some have expressed support for Kris, praising her for finding happiness later in life. Others, however, have not been so kind.
Critics of Kris Jenner have been particularly vocal, calling the rumored wedding plans “cringe-worthy” and questioning the dynamics of a relationship where the age gap is so pronounced. The fact that Corey is the same age as Kourtney Kardashian, 45, has added fuel to the fire, with some arguing that it blurs the lines between familial roles and relationships.
“How can Kris marry someone who could be her daughter’s twin? It’s just weird,” one Twitter user commented, echoing the sentiments of many who find the relationship unsettling. Others have criticized Kris for what they see as an attempt to stay relevant and in the spotlight, accusing her of using her personal life to generate media attention.
This isn’t the first time Kris Jenner has faced backlash over her relationship with Corey Gamble. Throughout their nearly decade-long romance, the couple has been scrutinized for their age difference, with some questioning Corey’s motives and others accusing Kris of clinging to youth.
Despite the ongoing criticism, Kris has remained defiant, often speaking out about her happiness with Corey and dismissing the naysayers. In interviews, she has described Corey as a supportive partner who has been by her side through many of life’s challenges, including the ups and downs of managing her family’s empire.
Some fans and commentators have pointed out the double standard in the way Kris Jenner’s relationship is perceived compared to those of her male counterparts in Hollywood. Older men dating younger women is often accepted, if not celebrated, while older women in relationships with younger men are frequently criticized and ridiculed.
“Kris Jenner is a successful, independent woman who can date whoever she wants. Why is it okay for men to date younger women, but not for women to do the same?” one Instagram user questioned, highlighting the inherent 𝓈ℯ𝓍ism in much of the criticism directed at Kris.
Whether or not Kris Jenner and Corey Gamble are indeed planning to walk down the aisle remains to be seen. The couple has neither confirmed nor denied the rumors, leaving fans and critics alike to speculate.
As the speculation continues, one thing is certain: Kris Jenner, a woman who has built an empire by embracing the spotlight, is unlikely to be fazed by the criticism. If anything, she may see it as just another chapter in the ongoing saga of her life, one that has been marked by both triumphs and controversies.
For now, Kris Jenner appears to be living her life on her terms, as she always has, regardless of what the critics say. Whether they cringe or cheer, the world will undoubtedly continue to watch every move she makes.
