Kris then stepped in to set the record straight. “Right, because I told him to say no,” she explained.

Khloé, 39, couldn’t resist joining in the conversation, joking to her mom: “But if they said they wanted you to act and kiss [Yellowstone star] Kevin Costner, I’m sure you’d take it.”
Kris didn’t hesitate. “Oh, that’s hard!” she said.

She also noted that Corey is a “people person,” who thrives “helping me manage such a large team and all the things that are going on.”
