Kris Jenner gave birth to Kendall when she was 40 and Kylie when she was 41.
The beloved momager appeared as a guest on her daughter Khloé's new iHeartRadio podcast Khloé in Wonder Land and zoomed in on how people felt about her having kids after 40.
"It was almost whispered about. Like, taboo. Like, ‘She’s 40? And she’s going to have a baby? Is she nuts?' And then it was, obviously, safe to have babies at that age, but everybody thought there was also some danger to it. Like, ‘What’s going on? How could she have a baby in her 40s? Aren’t all her eggs gone?’ It was very controversial."
The 69-year-old reality TV icon is no stranger to heartbreak and had a few miscarriages in between children Kourtney, Kim, Khloé, Rob, Kendall, and Kylie (in that order), but was determined to continue bringing life into this world, age not being a factor.
"I got pregnant right away and then had a miscarriage. But I also had a miscarriage right before Robert was born, so, at a couple months. Right before I got pregnant with Rob, I had a miscarriage. And then I had a miscarriage right before Kendall. So when I got pregnant with Kendall, we were really trying because I thought, ’This isn’t taking me down! I will show my body!’ It’s almost like a challenge to get pregnant."
Jenner ultimately reached her goal of having six children and, to this day, considers it her greatest blessing.
"I would think about it day and night, I had things planned out in my head. That was my goal in life, to get married and to be able to raise a family, have six kids and live happily ever after."
