Not long after the Met Gala of 2019, drama started to brew in the Kardashian family once again. Only this time, it was started by Kanye West, who was still Kim’s husband at the time. During an episode of “Keeping Up With the Kardashians”, West directly confronted Corey about why he was so closed about talking about his past and introducing the Kardashians to his family.
West being West, he didn’t exactly say it in a nice way, and while Kim called him out for being rude, she understood where her then-husband was coming from. After five years of dating, neither Kris Jenner nor anyone in her family had met Corey’s parents or siblings.
Kris and Corey Meet
It was August of 2014, and famous fashion designer Riccardo Tisci had an extravagant birthday party in Ibiza, which was thrown by none other than Kanye West. Kris and Corey, who were both friends of Riccardo, were first introduced at the party, but Kris wasn’t in the best of moods, as she was finalizing her very public divorce from Caitlyn Jenner.
Gamble, on the other hand, was working as a tour manager for Justin Bieber. He knew who Kris was and also knew she was in the throws of a divorce, but that didn’t keep him from approaching her and starting a conversation. At the time, Kris was 58, and Gamble was 34.
Who Is Corey Gamble?
When they first met, all Kris knew about Corey was that he was a guest at a friend’s party, and he was in the music business. As they kept on talking, she realized he was a hotshot business executive who handled high-profile talent in L.A. Needless to say, she was impressed.
Gamble was born in Atlanta, Georgia, and went to Morehouse College, where he got his Business degree. However, understanding that the big money and opportunities were in Los Angeles, he made the move pretty early on. He met Scooter Braun, the music executive and business magnate, and started working for him nonstop.
Gamble Is Worth $15 Million
Even though it doesn’t compare to what each member of the Kardashian-Jenner clan is worth, Corey Gamble has done pretty well for himself financially. Gamble has a net worth of an impressive $15 million, and it makes sense, considering he’s worked with famous music executive Scooter Braun for many years.
In fact, Gamble was Scooter’s right hand when he was building SB Projects, his media company that now handles some of the most famous musicians in the world. Gamble was a business manager for Demi Lovato, Ariana Grande, Justin Bieber, and many more. This man can definitely hold his own!
Corey Has to Thank Justin Bieber for His Millions
With a net worth of $15 million and growing, one has to wonder where they’ve come from. Granted, managing artists like Ariana Grande and Demi Lovato can be extremely profitable. But the artist responsible for Corey’s fortune is Justin Bieber. Gamble’s close relationship with Bieber has skyrocketed his career.
Just imagine how much money Bieber makes for every performance, and now think that a handsome percentage of that goes to Corey. Gamble started as Justin Bieber’s road manager when the young artist went on tour, and slowly made his way up the ladder to become his right-hand, friend, and general manager. That has to be an impressive salary slip!
They Became Inseparable
A few months after meeting at Tisci’s party, Kris and Corey became smitten with one another. Even though they hadn’t announced they were officially a couple, the press and the paparazzi couldn’t get enough of these lovebirds’ dinner dates in Los Angeles’ most famous restaurants. Things got even more serious when they took a sudden trip to Mexico, which they kept out of social media.
Now, for Kris to keep her personal life outside of the media on purpose probably meant this relationship was more than a passing fling. In fact, even Kris’s daughters didn’t know much about their mother’s romance with the mystery businessman.
Spotted Together in Sherman Oaks
By early October 2014, things between Kris and Corey seemed to be getting more serious. The two were photographed by an avid fan while they were having dinner at a luxurious restaurant in the Sherman Oaks neighborhood of Los Angeles, California.
The excited fan took dozens of photos of them, and when a celebrity reporter contacted Gamble the next day to ask about their status as a couple, he quickly said that he was excited to “take the relationship to a deeper level”. This sent the media mill into a gossip frenzy – reporters and fans couldn’t wait to see what happened next.
Getting Cozy at the "Life Is Beautiful" Music Festival
A few days before Kim Kardashian’s 34th birthday, the famous “Life Is Beautiful” music festival was happening in Las Vegas. Kris and Corey attended the festival and were almost inseparable the entire time they were there. In a photo that Kim posted to her Instagram, Kris and Corey were standing side by side before getting on a private jet headed for the festival.
Then, during a performance by Kanye West, the young lovers were seen hugging as they watched the rapper on stage. Afterwards, they arrived together at Kim’s birthday party, which took place at the TAO restaurant and nightclub, in Las Vegas.
Kim Kardashian’s 34th Birthday
To further confirm Gamble’s claims that the relationship was definitely getting more official, he and Kris were seen arriving together for Kim Kardashian’s 34th birthday party in Las Vegas. Of course, the party was filled with paparazzi and celebrity guests, so the media got a good look at the Kardashian matriarch and her new beau getting cozy.
Sources close to the couple said they were happy to see Kris having a good time and that Corey seemed like a good guy who really cared for her. As for Kris’s daughters, they didn’t know him well and therefore refrained from commenting on their mother’s new relationship with such a younger guy.
Kris Jenner’s 59th Birthday
By November 2014, a few days before Kris Jenner’s 59th birthday, she and Gamble decided to jet off to a paradisiacal beach in Mexico. The two spent a magical weekend on the Caribbean coast and then returned to Los Angeles for Kris’ big day.
The paparazzi flooded the Kardashian house as Kris and Corey returned from the airport and caught a few photos of the two unloading their luggage and looking very cozy with each other. Still, they hadn’t officially confirmed they were an item. For the matriarch’s birthday on November 5th, the twosome had dinner at the famous Stack restaurant and went clubbing at 1 OAK in Las Vegas.
Corey Appears on “Keeping Up With the Kardashians”
If you’re a fan of the infamous reality TV show, you probably remember the March 22 episode when Gamble made his debut. It was the first time on the show that Kris’s relationship with Corey was mentioned, and the Kardashian girls weren’t exactly happy for their mother.
Kim, who was living with Kris at the time, said she found it awkward that they made so much noise when they were intimate. Complaining she couldn’t get any sleep, Kim said that Corey just had a “weird” energy and that she hoped her mom wasn’t rushing into anything. And Kim wasn’t the only daughter who had concerns about Gamble.
Khloe Doesn’t Hold Back
During the same crazy episode where Corey first appears on screen, Khloe also shared her opinions on her mom’s new beau. “He’s younger than two of my sisters”, said Khloe, explaining that she found the big age difference between Corey and her mom “really creepy”.
Like her sisters, Khloe said she was worried that Gamble might have ulterior motives and she didn’t want to see her mom get hurt. To top things off, Kendall also blurted out that her mom’s new relationship really freaked her out. It seemed no one was approving of Kris’s new relationship, and Kim finally decided to have a serious talk with her mom.
Kim Has a Serious Talk with Kris
Kim decided it was time to be completely honest with Kris and have a talk about her new boyfriend. She later said in an interview that she had told her mom to take things slow, and not rush into anything before being able to see things clearly.
The famous socialite and SKIMS clothing company founder was definitely not a fan of Gamble. Other than the age difference and the fact that she felt her mom was rushing into something too soon after her divorce, it wasn’t exactly clear what bothered Kim so much. But Kris was reaching her limit, and she finally responded to all of her daughters’ criticisms.
Kris’ Comeback
After patiently hearing what each of her daughters had to say about Corey, Kris finally got fed up and decided to respond. She told her family that all of their concerns were unfounded and that Corey had been great for her. “I can’t do anything without getting criticized. Everybody wants answers, everybody wants to know what the title is. You’re all a bunch of haters”, yelled Kris during an episode of “KUWTK”. Yikes!
Kris wasn’t having any of it anymore, and she let her daughters know how uncomfortable they were making her and Corey feel. Kris said that all she wants to do is live her life, and her own family just judges her all the time. In all honesty, she was totally right.
A Heartfelt Talk With Her Daughters
After Kendall nervously asked her mom if she was planning to marry Corey, Kris explained that she didn’t think she would ever marry again. She realized she had to explain to her daughters how alone she had felt for so many years, even before the divorce went through.
Kris told her family that it’s been a long time since she dated and felt happy, asking them to respect her newfound relationship. She went on to say that she was just living her life and having fun and they didn’t have to worry about anything getting too serious. Her daughters seemed to finally understand that they needed to back off a bit.
Kris and Corey Make It Official
On April 23, 2015, Corey and Kris made their relationship official after posting a very cute photo on Instagram. The couple went on a double date with famous singer and actor Billy Ray Cyrus and his wife at the time, Tish Cyrus. The two celebrity couples looked as cozy as ever, with Corey making it clear that he and Jenner were definitely together.
Corey posted the picture of the four of them sitting very close to each other at a restaurant with a cute caption. Since he had his arms around Kris, it was pretty obvious what was going on.
Kris Jenner Gets Too Honest
On an episode of “Keeping Up With the Kardashians”, which aired on October 15th, 2015, Kris shared a little too much information about her personal life. By this point, everybody knew she and Corey were together, and the relationship seemed to be evolving by the day.
During the season 10 finale episode, Kris got honest about a trip she and Gamble had taken and started to tell Khloe about intimate details of their time together. Khloe Kardashian’s face said it all – her face of disgust was impossible to hide. Khloe said nothing to her mom in response and just sat there, shell-shocked.
Kris and Corey Attend the Met Gala
For the first time since they started dating, Kris and Corey attended a red-carpet event together. On May 2, 2016, the couple arrived at the prestigious Met Gala dressed in all-black designer outfits. This marked an important milestone for their relationship, as everyone knows that attending a red-carpet gala as a couple is a serious business.
As always, all the Kardashian girls were dressed to impress, each with a designer gown that left attendees speechless. Kris and Corey seemed to have spent a fabulous night at the event, judging by the sheer number of photos in the press the next day.
Kim Sparks Rumors
By October 2017, Kris and Corey had been dating for over a year, and they seemed to be going strong. However, Kim unintentionally sparked rumors that they had broken up with an innocent Instagram post. She shared a photo of her mom in a snazzy outfit and wrote “Caption this…mine is SWF”.
Now, since SWF stands for Single White Female, fans started bombarding her and Kris asking if the couple had split up. Without wanting to, Kim created a media frenzy, and when she realized what all the insanity was about, she removed the “SWF” letters from the original caption and put everybody at ease – her mom and Corey were still together.
Khloe Still Isn’t Sure About Gamble
On another “Keeping Up With the Kardashians” episode that aired in January 2018, things were still tense between Gamble and Kris’s daughters. At first, all the Kardashian girls were weary of their mother’s relationship, but most of them had gotten used to him over the years. One daughter who was still very doubtful about Gamble was Khloe.
During the episode mentioned above, Khloe confronted Gamble and asked why he was so cold to her, telling him that she was really trying to make an effort to accept him in the family. Khloe told him that she wanted to feel comfortable with whomever her mother chose as a partner. Gamble’s reaction left everyone speechless.
Gamble Talks Back
Everybody was expecting there to be a heartfelt moment between Khloe and Corey, with the former finally accepting her mom’s boyfriend. However, things couldn’t have turned out worse, as Corey’s response to the Kardashian sister left her, and everybody watching the episode, in total shock.
With a defiant attitude, Gamble looked at Khloe and replied that as much as he likes Khloe and her sisters, he is a man and understands that their relationship won't be too close. Completely dumbfounded by his words, Khloe stared at him in silence, and Corey added that he is a young guy who is dating their mom, the sisters are not his kids — they're more like peers. Needless to say, a huge fight broke out and Kris had to come into the room and calm Khloe down.
Kris and Corey’s Romantic Getaway
Kris didn’t seem to pay much attention to the fact that her daughters didn’t exactly like her boyfriend. The relationship kept going as strong as ever, with Jenner and Gamble even deciding to take a romantic trip to the South of France in July of 2018.
The Kardashian mother and Corey embarked on their yacht and sailed off the coast of Antibes, a part of the French Riviera – a famous celebrity destination. For several days, Corey and Kris were seen waltzing across French towns doing some shopping and dining out. It seems these two lovebirds had decided to stay together for the long haul.
Kris Jenner Has a New Diamond Ring
After returning from their French getaway, Kris started to walk around L.A. with a huge diamond ring on her ring finger. Of course, rumors started to go around about Corey having popped the question while they were away. In August 2018, Kris was invited to the popular TV show “The Late Late Show With James Corden.”
On the show, she was obviously asked if she and Corey had gotten engaged. The question was made during a game of ‘Spill Your Guts or Fill Your Guts’, to which Jenner chose to fill her guts by eating a cricket as a dare on the show. People started to wonder if she was avoiding answering the question.
Jenner Reveals the Truth
By September 2018, Kris was a guest on celebrity lawyer Laura Wasser’s podcast, titled “Divorce Sucks with Laura Wasser”. After chatting on a variety of other topics, Wasser finally addressed the elephant in the room and asked Kris if she was engaged. Kris finally came clean and told her she wasn’t.
Jenner explained that, for the time being, she didn’t see herself getting married again; twice was enough, and her relationship with Corey was great as it was. Kris explained that she had already done the big wedding, stating that she didn’t have any need to go through it all over again.
Been There, Done That
While on the podcast, Kris took things even further when explaining why she felt a third marriage was not in the cards for her. Jenner further explained that she was in an amazing relationship which made her very happy, and she felt getting married could mess everything up.
She felt she was at a point in her life where labels didn’t matter anymore, and she was just grateful to live in the moment. Kris said that she has gone through the big wedding and doesn't have the need to put on a long, white dress and walk down the aisle. She's done it all, she continued. That sounds totally reasonable!
She’s Already a Matriarch
Furthermore, Kris explained that, even if she wanted to have a huge wedding with thousands of guests and an extravagant event, her body wouldn’t cooperate. She said that at her age, she would just be too exhausted to organize such a thing nowadays, and with six kids, Kris is understandably not interested in having any more children.
The Kardashian matriarch seems to just feel grateful and blessed to have had the life she’s lived until now and continues to enjoy. She’s looking forward to what the future brings, and she’s excited to share whatever that may be with Corey.
Corey Organizes Kris’s Birthday Bash
Kris Jenner’s 63rd birthday came, and Corey decided to throw an incredible party for his beloved girlfriend. On November 5th, 2018, Corey and Kris had been together for a little over four years, so, a big celebration for her birthday was due.
Gamble organized the perfect day – first, Kris took a ride on Tommy Hilfiger and his wife’s private jet, both of which are close friends with Jenner.
Then, they sang happy birthday and Kris had a slice of her very own butter cake at 35,000 feet in the air. Kris was ecstatic and took to Instagram to post photos and ‘thank yous’ to Corey and her friends for such an incredible start to the day. Corey and Kris ended the day at a five-star restaurant with a large group of family and friends.
The Met Gala of 2019
It was May 2019, and that meant it was time for another Met Gala. Kris Jenner arrived on Corey Gamble’s arm, further cementing their status as a solid couple. But what stunned everyone that night wasn’t the Kardashian mother’s date, it was her look. Everyone was expecting Kris to arrive with her customary dark brown, short haircut, but she arrived as a blonde!
Her daughter Kylie Jenner suggested she use a blonde wig with a bob haircut, and we’re happy she did because she looked fabulous. As for her outfit, she wore an over-the-top blue pantsuit with a giant be-winged coat that was inspired by David Bowie. It was designed by her close friend Tommy Hilfiger.
Kanye West Criticizes Corey Gamble
Not long after the Met Gala of 2019, drama started to brew in the Kardashian family once again. Only this time, it was started by Kanye West, who was still Kim’s husband at the time. During an episode of “Keeping Up With the Kardashians”, West directly confronted Corey about why he was so closed about talking about his past and introducing the Kardashians to his family.
West being West, he didn’t exactly say it in a nice way, and while Kim called him out for being rude, she understood where her then-husband was coming from. After five years of dating, neither Kris Jenner nor anyone in her family had met Corey’s parents or siblings.
Khloe and Kim Take Kanye’s Side
Kim reprimanded her husband for being so blunt and bordering on rude, but she spoke out and told Corey that she didn’t disagree with Kanye. She said she understood where he was coming from, and the fact that Corey had been so private about everything in his life just raised suspicions among them.
To make matters worse, Khloe stepped in and sided with Kim and Kanye, further saying that she also didn’t understand how after so many years of dating her mother, they still hadn’t met a single family member of his. Things got very bad when the drama kept escalating during a family trip to Palm Springs. Kris wasn’t taking any more criticism, and she stood up to Khloe about her disrespect for Gamble.
Kris Jenner Feels Misunderstood
Kris hit an all-time low during the Palm Springs family trip, and she decided enough was enough. She called Khloe into a room and told her she was done with her bad attitude. Kris, bordering on tears, set Khloe straight that she and her sisters questioning Kris' relationship crosses boundaries and, more importantly, hurts her feelings.
Kim walked into the room and she and Khloe just looked at their mother, embarrassed at the way they had acted. Kris then told them that she was sad her own daughters hadn’t realized that Corey was taking care of her like no one ever did in her life.
Khloe Apologizes
Khloe felt terrible and apologized to Kris, telling her that she didn’t care who she was with, as long as they treated her like she deserved. All she wanted was for her mom to be taken care of and happy, and she had a hard time at first realizing that Corey was doing all these things.
Khloe said that the only thing she wants is for Kris to be with a man who is good to her. Finally, the Kardashian drama with Corey seemed to be simmering down. The rest of the Kardashian daughters agreed to be nicer to Corey and give their mother some much-needed space.
Gamble Explains Why He Keeps His Personal Life Private
Even though Corey Gamble has become somewhat of a regular character on “Keeping Up With the Kardashians”, his only link to celebrity status is the fact that he’s Kris Jenner’s boyfriend. Before this, Gamble worked behind the scenes, managing music talents like Justin Bieber.
So, after the Kardashians and Kanye confronted him so often about why he was so private and guarded about his personal and family life, he simply replied that he is not a celebrity, and he doesn't need to share his life just because others suddenly want to know. You have to admit, he does have a point. Not everyone has the need for fame that the Kardashians do.
A Family Reunited
A few months later, the Kardashian-Jenner family stepped out to a Gala in New York City, and they posed for the paparazzi like one big happy family. Jenner was holding hands with Gamble, Kim was next to Kanye, Kylie was with Travis Scott, and all was right with the world.
The family was dressed to the nines and getting along like never before. Fans could rest easy that the Gamble-Kardashian drama seemed to be coming to an end. After all, any true fan of “KUWTK” knows that Kris Jenner deserves to be happy after all the drama she’s had to put up with.
Kris Declares Her Love on Corey’s Birthday
Things between Kris and Corey seemed to be going amazing, and to further prove it, Kris posted an adorable caption for Corey’s 39th birthday. On November 10, 2019, the businessman was celebrating his special day, and his loving girlfriend Kris not only posted an adorable photo of them but also wrote a caption that had everyone teary-eyed.
The tribute read “Happy Birthday Corey! I love you babe! Thank you for holding us all down and being such a rock. You are the most amazing partner, best friend and ride or die, and I am truly blessed to have you in my life. Thanks for being on this crazy journey with me. I love you.” Could she be any cuter?
Family Christmas
Christmas of 2019 was a big event at the Kardashian-Jenner house, and Gamble was an important part of it. The family celebrated the holidays in style, as they always do, and Kris’s beau was there for every single dinner, party, and intimate family gathering.
The year had started out with its fair share of drama, but it seemed to end on a positive note, with the Kardashian-Jenner girls finally accepting their mother’s boyfriend into the family. Kim even posted an adorable family photo on her Instagram and Corey was in it – smiling away. And of course, Kris looked as happy as ever.
Adopting a Puppy Together
By January 2020, Kris and Corey decided to take on more responsibility as a couple. They adopted an adorable puppy together! The couple visited the famous Wagmor Pet Hotel & Spa in Los Angeles and picked a sweet brown poodle puppy to take home with them. Kris named the puppy Bridgette, and as it turns out, it was from the same litter as John Legend and Chrissy Teigen’s puppy.
A few weeks later, Corey was complaining that he had to do all the work when Kris was the one who wanted the dog in the first place. He further joked that he was going to start giving all the attention he gave to Kris, to Bridgette, to see if Kris finally realized he needed a hand.
Corey Makes a Video with Kris
In April 2020, Corey was convinced by the Kardashian-Jenner girls to make a video on Kylie’s TikTok account. So, he, Kris, Kylie, and her daughter Stormi made an adorable dancing video together, which had fans melting with cuteness.
The video featured an opening shot of Kris dancing to Auntie Hammy’s “Pew Pew Pew”, and then Corey entering the scene with a hilarious dance move. Then Stormi takes the lead by coming into the frame on her mother Kylie’s hip. Stormi’s face and moves are definitely the best part of the video. This Jenner girl will certainly have a future in show business!
Kris Gets Too Candid
Anybody who watches “Keeping Up With the Kardashians” knows that Kris Jenner isn’t afraid to talk about her personal life, especially when it comes to intimate details about her love life. In an episode that aired on May 23, 2020, Kris shared too much information about her intimate life with Corey. And it wasn’t the first time!
During a conversation with her best friend, famous TV personality Faye Resnick, Kris joked that she is always in the mood when Corey is around. She then elaborated on how attractive he was for a while and went on to share more details than we needed to hear. But hey, get it, girl.
Corey Gets in Trouble
One of the first times ever that Kris appears to be angry at Corey was during an episode of “Keeping Up With the Kardashians” in Season 18. The family is getting ready to go out to a fancy restaurant for dinner, and when everyone is dressed and about to go out the door, Kylie pulls out a bottle and starts doing shots. She offers Corey a glass, and he immediately accepts.
While Kylie and Corey are doing shots, Kris starts looking at them angrily, telling them that everybody is waiting and they’re acting like kids. Finally, she just yells that either they are going or they're not, and gives them both a very mean stare. Things just got worse when Corey told Kylie that they actually didn't need to rush. Not the best idea, Corey.
Kris Says Corey Is Her Support
The months kept on passing and by the time it was March 2021, Kris and Corey were still going strong. The Wall Street Journal Magazine did an interview on the Kardashian matriarch and asked point blank about her relationship of almost seven years. Kris had nothing but kind things to say about Gamble, saying that he was her support system and that the entire family adored him.
She continued to say that he was just an incredible guy. She said that he is an amazing support system for her, and really gives her a lot of strength and insight. He’s a great sounding board, she noted. Kris says that he loves her kids and her mom, and they love him.
Corey Gets in the Middle of a Sister Fight
In June 2021, Corey made the mistake of getting caught in a sister fight – and not just any sisters, the Jenner sisters! Kendall and Kylie had a bad fight, and Kendall was furious because Corey had apparently taken Kylie’s side and even swore at her.
Things got even worse when, after Kendall told Corey she was mad, he replied rather bluntly, saying that she has been a difficult person for years; she gets angry and worked up over nothing, and that she never apologizes when she is in the wrong. Obviously, Kendall didn’t take to this well and started furiously yelling at Corey. We still don’t know if these two have fixed things between them.
Corey vs. Kourtney
Kendall wasn’t the only Kardashian-Jenner sister Corey had a fight with, as just a few months after his brawl with Kendall, he had an argument with Kourtney. Apparently, the argument had started because Corey had something to say about the way Kourtney and her then-husband Scott Disick raised their daughter Penelope.
In a tense episode of “KUWTK”, Penelope scratched one of her nannies, and Corey happened to see everything. He went to Kourtney and said that if her daughter scratched him, he would spank her. Obviously, Scott and Kourtney didn’t like this one bit, and the situation escalated.
Kourtney Is Furious
Clearly, no Kardashian girl is known for her quiet and sweet demeanor, especially Kourtney. So, you can only imagine how mad she got when Corey made a comment about spanking none other than her daughter. Kourtney and then-partner Scott Disick were livid.
Kourtney even yelled into the camera for an episode of “KUWTK” that Corey was never going to be with their kids alone again, and if he lays a hand on them in front of Scott and Kourtney then it will be a huge problem. The whole thing turned into a massive fight, with Kris having to come in and calm her daughter down. Yikes!
Kim’s 40th Birthday
For Kim Kardashian’s big 40, she rented an entire island in beautiful Polynesia. Of course, Corey went along with the family, and he ended up being the life of the party after performing some major dance moves with Lakers basketball player Tristan Thompson.
Kris caught it all on camera and posted the hilarious video on her Instagram, which obviously got thousands of likes and comments. At one point, Corey went all out and decided to do the splits! All the Kardashian-Jenner girls exploded in laughter and seemed to be extremely amused. All in all, that sounds like a pretty good birthday party.
Kim Shades Corey on National TV
Everyone remembers that Saturday Night Live episode when Kim Kardashian was invited to host. Some fans were even pleasantly surprised to see the socialite hold her own when it came to comedy. However, there was one moment that left the audience holding their breaths – when she decided to shade Corey Gamble on TV.
For the October 2021 episode, during her opening monologue, Kim said, “I’m just so much more than that reference photo my sisters showed their plastic surgeon. But one thing I’m really proud of is that no one could ever call me a gold digger. Honestly, I'm not even sure how you become one. So, I asked my mom's boyfriend Corey”. Ouch. That one hit a little too close to home, Kim.
A Loving Tribute for Kris’s Birthday
On November 5th, 2021, Kris Jenner was celebrating her 66th birthday, and of course, the head of the Kardashian-Jenner family celebrated in style. But perhaps one of the best parts of her day was her boyfriend Corey’s sweet tribute to his girl.
Gamble posted several photos of their seven years as a couple, each one more adorable than the next. The last photo was of them celebrating her birthday, and he captioned it beautifully with good wishes of health, happiness, and love, and even called her his queen! That must have had Kris melting with love, and she deserves it.
Kris Confesses Her Love
Five days after celebrating Kris’s big day, it was Corey’s birthday, so this time it was Kris’s turn to confess her love and admiration for her beau. On November 10, 2021, Kris took to Instagram to post a gorgeous photo of the two and wrote a caption saying how important he was to her.
Apart from wishing him a happy birthday, Kris went on to call him the most amazing partner, best friend, confidant, travel aficionado, therapist, problem solver, golf buddy, protector, advisor, and the best, most wonderful man to her kids and grandkids. As if that weren’t enough, she also said he was her heart and soul and she felt blessed to love him. Now that’s a dedication!
Kris and Corey Throw a Valentine’s Day Dinner
The day was February 14th, 2022, and Valentine’s Day had arrived, so Kris and Corey decided to plan a special event. The couple threw a dinner for their close friends, complete with lavish Valentine’s decorations and heart-shaped ‘Kylie Cosmetics’ boxes. Among the guests were Kris’s close friend, “Full House” actress Lori Loughlin, the billionaire Tammy Hughes Gustavson, and TV personality Kym Douglas.
Kris posted a very cute photo of her, Corey, and their guests holding up the heart-shaped boxes and smiling for the special day. Apparently, Kris was adamant about organizing something so her friend Kym, who had recently lost her husband, didn’t spend Valentine’s Day alone.
Marriage Rumors Return
When Kris and Corey had been dating for a little over a year, some rumors about them getting engaged started to circulate around the celebrity gossip mill. However, they were quickly proven fake, and life went on. Well, in April of 2022, many years later, the marriage rumors returned – and this time with a bang.
The reason was Kris posted several videos on her Instagram with a huge diamond on her ring finger, which led fans and even family members to suspect they were engaged or had even gotten married already in a secret ceremony. The rumors got even worse when during an episode of “KUWTK”, Khloe herself told her mother that she had heard from multiple people that they were married. Kris simply replied that if she were to get married, it wouldn't be a quiet affair.
Corey and Kris Get Some Public Attention
By June 2022, fans were still speculating on whether Corey and Kris had tied the knot. But otherwise, the Kardashian-Jenner family mostly got attention because of Kim’s new relationship with Pete Davidson or Kourtney’s love with drummer Travis Barker.
Apparently, Kris and Corey wanted some attention too, so they went on a trip to the Amalfi Coast and posted some very loving photos. First, they posted a photo of them arm-in-arm on their luxurious boat, and then they appeared kissing, which they’d never posted before! It seems the Kardashian matriarch was craving some publicity and attention, which Corey doesn’t seem to mind at all.
Corey Supports Kris’s Career
In July 2022, Kris Jenner debuted a course on personal branding on the famous MasterClass learning platform. When asked in an interview about her new class and her career in general, she was quick to explain the many ways in which Corey has helped and supported her. Kris said he has always been supportive about everything in her life, and the fact that he’s so knowledgeable about so many things within her field has come in handy.
She said that he’s helped her to think through some of her decisions, and he’s great to bounce things off of. She continued that she loves his point of view. She also said that since Corey is such a “people person”, he helps her a lot with managing such a big team of employees.
Corey Is Husband Material
In another interview with James Corden, on his famous show “The Late Late Show with James Corden”, Kris Jenner said she would be happy to take a lie detector test as part of a game. Of course, Corden being Corden, one of the first things he asked was whether her boyfriend Corey was “husband material”.
Kris immediately answered that he is and that he's the best, and the lie detector confirmed she was telling the truth. The matriarch was happy to know the detector backed her up, laughing and saying that she was sweating. We bet that Corey was watching the show backstage.
Corey Is by Kris’s Side During Health Issues
In October 2022, Kris Jenner was complaining of pain in her hip, and so, on an episode of “Keeping Up With the Kardashians”, she went for a consult with an orthopedic surgeon. Corey went with her and stayed for the entire exam as the doctor examined her hip.
They proceeded to do an MRI scan, and ultimately the doctor told her she needed a hip replacement.
Jenner admitted that hearing the doctor say that she needed a hip replacement was very scary for her. What's more, it reminded her of somebody older than she feels on the inside and somebody who is going to have challenges for the rest of her life. Thankfully, Corey was by her side every step of the way, cheering her on and supporting her throughout the recovery.
The Couple’s First Holiday Card
In a very adorable Holiday reveal, Kris and Corey made their first-ever holiday card together. By November 2022, the couple had already printed out a photo of them, dressed to the nines, standing side by side with big smiles and wishing everybody a happy holiday, written in elegant gold letters.
Of course, Jenner posted it on Instagram, to the likes of thousands of fans. She said she couldn’t wait to send them out to all their family and friends and have one framed as a wonderful memory. We wonder if this will become a tradition in the Kardashian-Jenner family. Hopefully, we will be seeing more of the happy couple as the years go by.
Corey and Kris Go to a Lakers Game
We all know how celebrities love their basketball, especially when it comes to the Los Angeles Lakers. Kris and Corey are no exception, as they were photographed attending a Lakers game together in April 2023. And they weren’t the only celebrity royalty present, as Kim Kardashian and her son Saint were sitting right beside them.
It was an exciting game against the Memphis Grizzlies, and Kris was sure to share her support for the Lakers, even giving player Tristan Thompson a big hug before the game. Apparently, Corey has also become good friends with Thompson, whose basketball career seems to be at its peak.
People Thought It Was for Publicity
Nowadays, after so many years of dating, people know that Kris and Corey are the real deal. However, when they first announced they were a couple through an Instagram post, people were convinced that the whole thing was a sham, being used as a publicity stunt to increase the ratings for “Keeping Up With the Kardashians.”
It wasn’t such a crazy assumption back then, since Corey’s appearance on the show and his dramatic brawls with some of the Kardashian girls definitely boosted views for the show. Thankfully for Kris, the romance was 100 percent real, and not only that, it’s still going strong!
Corey Was Accused of Straying
Once during his relationship with the Kardashian matriarch, Corey was caught in a very awkward situation when Khloe and her friend, actress Malika Haqq, thought Kris wasn't the only woman in his life. The two followed him to his hotel room after they saw him in the lobby looking extra friendly with a redhead.
The whole drama was shown on a juicy episode of “KUWTK”, with Khloe yelling into the camera that she demands answers, and if this were true, she would make Corey pay in a... painful way. But as Khloe burst into the hotel room expecting to find Corey red-handed, she realized it was Kris Jenner wearing a red wig. Khloe was stunned and pretty grossed out. Well, that’s a plot twist.
Corey Was Married to a TV Star
Among the many unknown facts about Corey Gamble’s life, his being in a previous marriage to a famous TV star was one that stunned everybody. Apparently, Gamble was married to Sheree Buchanan, a star of the show “Atlanta Exes”. We’re not sure what caused the divorce, but we can definitely tell you that it didn’t seem to be an amicable one.
A few months after Corey and Kris went public with their relationship, Buchanan had some nasty comments. She bluntly said she knew Corey was only interested in Jenner’s fortune, further stating that she knows Corey and that he’s all about power and money and will do whatever it takes to get it. That must not have been easy for Kris to hear, but hopefully, after all these years, Corey has proven his ex-wife wrong.
Corey Is Not a Party Boy
Among the many things that Kris adores about her boyfriend Corey, one of them is that he’s not into partying or alcohol. Unlike her previous romances, Corey actually prefers to stay home and spend a quiet evening watching a movie or cooking a nice meal together.
According to Kris, he’s not a fan of clubbing or going out every night. She says he’s a really great guy, so nice and a very responsible man. Well, that seems like the perfect balance for Kris Jenner, since, as we all know, she is quite big on partying. And so are her daughters.
Corey Is Picked on Because of His Favorite Football Team
A running joke in the Kardashian-Jenner family is the fact that Corey’s favorite football team is the Dallas Cowboys. Apparently, he’s not just any regular fan, but an intense, die-hard devotee of the team. So, apart from spending his millions on yacht trips, private jets, fancy dinners, and designer clothes, he also attends a lot of football games.
His girlfriend’s family likes to pick on him because apparently, he even has an entire room filled with Dallas Cowboys gear. And he’s not afraid to show it; if you look through his Instagram, you’ll see several photos of every single item. Now that’s a true fan if we ever saw one!
