NEED TO KNOW
Kris Jenner is recalling a sweet moment she had recently at her grandkids’ lemonade stand.
The Kardashians star, 69, appeared an episode of the Not Skinny But Not Fat podcast, which debuted Tuesday, Oct. 14, and she opened up about how she tries her best to attend as much of her grandchildren’s events and activities. Kris, who is a grandmother of 13, recalled moving like it was “a fire drill” when her grandkids had a lemonade stand.
“I try. I do my best. I try to go to what I can go to,” she said. “Yesterday, I was at home by myself working, and … I got an emergency text from [Kim Kardashian] and [Khloé Kardashian] who were in Korea, and they said, ‘Get to the lemonade stand now. They’re there.’ ”
“I’m like, ‘Oh my god.’ [I] threw everything together like it was a fire drill, and I got in my car and I drove to the lemonade stand,” she continued. “Of course, [Saint, Psalm, Chicago, Stormi, True and Dream are] singing the cutest song.”
The reality tv star explained that she reacted that way because of the tight-knit relationship among the family. “We roll deep. It’s a support system,” she said. “We’re having a lemonade stand, and we all show up.”
When host Amanda Hirsch asked Kris how many lemonades she bought at the stand, she laughed before saying the amount and added that she purchased all of the cookies. “Um, about 152 and all the cookies because the cookies were melting,” she shared. “I’m like, you guys, ‘The cookies are melting, so I need to buy all the cookies.’ ”
Kris — mother to Kourtney Kardashian, 46, Kim Kardashian, 44, Khloé Kardashian, 41, Rob Kardashian, 38, Kendall Jenner, 29, and Kylie Jenner, 28 — has 13 grandchildren in total.
Kourtney shares Mason, 15, Penelope, 13, and Reign, 10, with ex-boyfriend Scott Disick, and she also has Rocky Thirteen, 22 months, with husband Travis Barker. Kim shares North, 11, Saint, 9, Chicago, 7, and Psalm, 6, with ex-husband Kanye West. Khloé shares True, 7, and Tatum, 3, with ex Tristan Thompson. Rob has one child, 8-year-old Dream, whom he shares with ex Blac Chyna. And Kylie shares Stormi, 7, and Aire, 3, with ex-boyfriend Travis Scott.
“I just have to take a deep breath and realize I’m outnumbered,” Kris told PEOPLE in December 2024, about hosting her large family during the holidays. “There are 13 of them! You can’t control that kind of chaos.”

Kris, who goes by “Lovey” to her grandchildren and “craves” seeing every one of them, said she’s grateful that Khloé and her children live nearby, because she gets to see them regularly. “And so I go to bed every night thinking, okay, how many kids did I get to see today? That’s kind of my little treat I give myself is just can’t say counting sheep,” Kris shared in an April 2024 interview with Katie Couric. “I count grandkids.”
The matriarch also never misses a moment to celebrate her grandchildren. To mark the start of the school year, Kris sent her grandchildren special cakes. The sweets wore adorned with a frosted pink Labubu. Around the image read “Happy First Day of School!!” in red icing over a white-iced round cake.
Kourtney and Khloé shared photos of the sweet treat, which Kris reposted on her Instagram Stories. “You’re cute @krisjenner,” Kourtney wrote in the first story, while Khloé added, “Mom you are the sweetest most thoughtful.”
