The Kardashian-Jenner family is no stranger to public drama, but recent reports of a heated altercation between Kris Jenner and her longtime partner, Corey Gamble, have sent shockwaves through their fanbase. Allegations that Gamble insulted and abandoned Jenner in front of her daughters—Kim, Khloé, Kendall, and Kylie—during Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez’s lavish wedding in Venice, Italy, have sparked intense speculation about the state of their relationship. The incident, reportedly marked by Jenner’s tears and Gamble’s dismissive behavior, has painted a troubling picture of a couple at odds, raising questions about control, loyalty, and the pressures of their high-profile lives.
According to sources, the incident unfolded as the couple departed the star-studded wedding, which took place in late June 2025. Jenner, the 69-year-old matriarch of the Kardashian-Jenner empire, and Gamble, 44, were among the A-list guests, accompanied by Jenner’s daughters. The multi-day celebration was a glamorous affair, but tensions reportedly surfaced when Jenner insisted on traveling alone in a water taxi, a decision that led to a public clash with Gamble. Lip reader Nicola Hickling, cited by multiple outlets, revealed that Gamble told a porter, “We’re happy to travel on our own. It’s what Kris would like to do,” prompting an emotional response from Jenner, who reportedly snapped, “What are you doing? Do you need to talk?” and “I told you… for God’s sake… I’d like to travel alone.”
The exchange, described as tense and heated, escalated when Jenner appeared visibly upset, with sources claiming she was brought to tears by Gamble’s actions. Insiders allege that Gamble’s behavior was not only dismissive but also insulting, as he reportedly failed to resolve the situation promptly, leaving Jenner feeling humiliated in front of her daughters and other guests. One source told Radar Online that the couple has been “drifting for a while,” with Gamble “pushing back” against Jenner’s controlling tendencies, a dynamic that reportedly came to a head during this incident. The public nature of the spat, captured by cameras and dissected by lip readers, amplified the embarrassment for Jenner, who is known for her carefully curated public image.
Adding fuel to the fire, reports suggest that Gamble’s actions may have been influenced by prior tensions, including a rumored flirtation with actress Jessica Alba at an earlier event. Sources claimed Jenner was “fuming” after learning that Gamble had been “drooling all over” Alba, leading to feelings of jealousy and betrayal. This incident, reported in May 2025, reportedly left Jenner feeling like a “fool,” and the Venice altercation may have reopened those wounds. The combination of Gamble’s alleged disrespect and Jenner’s emotional vulnerability in front of her daughters has painted a picture of a relationship under significant strain.
Jenner’s daughters, who were present at the wedding, reportedly witnessed their mother’s distress, adding a layer of personal and familial tension to the ordeal. Kim, Khloé, Kendall, and Kylie, all prominent figures in their own right, have long been protective of their mother, and sources suggest they were unsettled by Gamble’s behavior. While the exact nature of their reactions remains unclear, the public setting of the incident—surrounded by A-list celebrities and media—likely intensified the emotional weight for Jenner, who has built her career on maintaining control and projecting strength.
The incident also highlights broader dynamics in Jenner and Gamble’s relationship, which has faced scrutiny since they began dating in 2014. With a 25-year age gap and a power imbalance—Jenner’s wealth and influence far surpass Gamble’s—the couple has navigated rumors of control and dependency. Insiders have claimed that Jenner imposes strict rules on Gamble, including financial restrictions, such as cutting his allowance to $10,000 a month and requiring permission to use her credit cards. These reports suggest a relationship where Jenner holds significant control, which may have contributed to Gamble’s reported frustration and defiance in Venice.
Public reaction, as seen on platforms like X, has been mixed. Some fans sympathize with Jenner, viewing Gamble’s actions as disrespectful, while others see Jenner’s behavior as indicative of her controlling nature, as noted by her daughter Kourtney in past discussions. Posts on X have described the incident as a “nasty fight,” with some speculating that it could signal the end of their decade-long relationship. However, these claims remain inconclusive, and the couple’s subsequent appearance together at Paris Fashion Week on July 7, 2025, suggests they are attempting to move past the drama.
This incident underscores the challenges of maintaining personal relationships under the relentless scrutiny of fame. For Jenner, a media mogul who has turned family drama into a multi-billion-dollar empire, the public airing of her emotional distress is both a personal and professional setback. As the Kardashian-Jenner clan continues to dominate headlines, the question remains whether Jenner and Gamble can reconcile their differences or if this public clash marks a turning point in their relationship.
