Kris Jenner and Robert Kardashian Sr. first crossed paths in the early 1970s at the Del Mar racetrack, where Jenner was still a teenager.
She recalled being dressed up and excited about placing small bets, though she wasn’t old enough to do so herself.
Kardashian approached her in a cheeky manner, asking for her name and number, which she initially refused to give.
However, through a mutual friend who worked at the phone company, he eventually obtained her contact information, leading to the start of their relationship.
The couple married in 1978 and went on to have four children together: Kourtney, Kim, Khloé, and Rob.
Although they divorced in 1991, Jenner and Kardashian Sr. remained close friends until his passing from esophageal cancer in 2003.
Jenner has often reflected on their bond, admitting she had regrets about the separation but cherishing the friendship they maintained afterward.
She described how they would talk on the phone constantly and support each other through life’s challenges.
Over the years, Jenner and her children have continued to honor Kardashian Sr.’s memory. On what would have been his 79th and 80th birthdays, family members shared heartfelt tributes on social media, recalling his humor, kindness, and the joyful memories he created.
Rob expressed gratitude for the positive experiences he had with his father, while Khloé, Kim, and Kourtney each highlighted the special moments and lessons he left behind.
Jenner herself shared that he would be proud of their children today, emphasizing the enduring love and respect the family holds for him.
