Kris Jenner & Corey Gambles relationship is transactional, how shocking
I’m starting to worry that I know, retain and remember too many factoids about the Kardashian-Jenner clan. I know it’s my job to retain this information, but this Page Six piece on Kris Jenner and her boyfriend is the second “obvious gossip is obvious” story I’ve written about the clan just this week. So, Kris Jenner has been dating Corey Gamble for about a year and a half. He started out as a bodyguard-type and then Kris basically hired him to be her on-screen love interest and general “handler” to the Kardashian-Jenner kids. This is not me talking out of my ass – it was no secret that Corey is being paid. I’m sure they dress it up like he’s being paid to appear on the show, but he’s being paid to be Kris’s boyfriend. So, obvious story is obvious.
It’s all business for Kris Jenner — even when it comes to dating. The Kardashian matriarch, 60, has been romantically linked to boy-toy Corey Gamble, 35, since November 2014 and while the pair still make a public show of their relationship, it may not be Cupid’s arrow keeping them together.
“Corey’s given a stipend [by Kris] to help look after her kids and make sure they are OK when they go out,” a source told Page Six. “He’s essentially an employee.”
Earlier this month Gamble was spotted escorting the Kardashian girls — sans Kris — to Hollywood hot spot The Nice Guy and was recently included in the family’s Easter Sunday celebrations in LA. According to the insider, Jenner maintains her financial arrangement with the Atlanta native because of his unwavering dedication to the TV family.
“Kris keeps him around because he worships the ground she walks on,” continued the source. “She also can’t complain about what goes on behind closed doors and is super satisfied in that sense.”
Despite bonding with Kim, Kourtney and Khloé Kardashian in recent months, Gamble may soon find himself single once again.
“Their arrangement has become more of a publicity stunt and a ‘trade’ at this point,” continued the source. “They aren’t really in love and there isn’t much longevity. Everyone is just waiting for Kris to clip it.”
But another source insists Gamble does not receive a stipend from his older girlfriend and spends time with the Kardashian-Jenner sisters because he enjoys being with them. “They are in a real relationship and there is no compensation that keeps him around,” the source said. Request for comment from a rep for Kris Jenner was not immediately returned.
Potato, po-hooker. Some call it a stipend, some call it a salary, some call it payment for serves rendered. What I find fascinating is that Kris really seems to be visually mimicking Kim’s relationship with Kanye West. In some photos, some commenters have confused Corey with Kanye, and Kris does dress like her daughters too. Kris wants to badly to have her own “Kanye” that she basically grabbed the first bodyguard she could find and started paying him to be her official guy. I’m not saying that either of them are doing anything wrong, by the way – they’re both consenting adults and no one is being taken advantage of. I even sort of understand where Kris is coming from – she amped up this Corey thing right around the time of Caitlyn Jenner’s Diane Sawyer interview. Kris didn’t want to be alone, but even more than that, she didn’t want to be SEEN as being alone, post-divorce.
