The real reason Kris Jenner keeps Corey Gamble around

It’s all business for Kris Jenner — even when it comes to dating.

The Kardashian matriarch, 60, has been romantically linked to boy-toy Corey Gamble, 35, since November 2014 and while the pair still make a public show of their relationship, it may not be Cupid’s arrow keeping them together.

“Corey’s given a stipend [by Kris] to help look after her kids and make sure they are OK when they go out,” a source told Page Six. “He’s essentially an employee.”

Earlier this month Gamble was spotted escorting the Kardashian girls — sans Kris — to Hollywood hot spot The Nice Guy and was recently included in the family’s Easter Sunday celebrations in LA.

According to the insider, Jenner maintains her financial arrangement with the Atlanta native because of his unwavering dedication to the TV family.

“Kris keeps him around because he worships the ground she walks on,” continued the source. “She also can’t complain about what goes on behind closed doors and is super satisfied in that sense.”

Despite bonding with Kim, Kourtney and Khloé Kardashian in recent months, Gamble may soon find himself single once again.

“Their arrangement has become more of a publicity stunt and a ‘trade’ at this point,” continued the source. “They aren’t really in love and there isn’t much longevity. Everyone is just waiting for Kris to clip it.”

But another source insists Gamble does not receive a stipend from his older girlfriend and spends time with the Kardashian-Jenner sisters because he enjoys being with them. “They are in a real relationship and there is no compensation that keeps him around,” the source said.

Request for comment from a rep for Kris Jenner was not immediately returned.
