She appreciates a younger man and Kris Jenner looked delighted to be cosying up to Chris Rock on Wednesday.
The
58-year-old momager enjoyed dinner at Craig's in West Hollywood with
the 49-year-old comedian - who has been happily married to wife Malaak
since 1996 - and couldn't resist going in for a hug as they said goodbye
outside the restaurant.
Jenner even managed to make the funnyman smile as she leaned in to whisper in his ear.
Good pals: Kris Jenner gave her pal Chris Rock a
hug as they said goodbye after a dinner at Craig's in West Hollywood on
Wednesday
Kris
and Chris have been pals for some time and last year Jenner shared a
picture of Rock with her son-in-law Kanye West and captioned it 'Out
With The Boys'.
While
Chris is happily married to Malaak - who is the founder and executive
director of StyleWorks, a non-profit, full-service salon that provides
free services for women leaving welfare and entering the workforce -
Kris hasn't been quite so lucky on the romance front.
Making the comedian smile: The gregarious momager made Chris laugh as they chatted outside the restaurant
Last year she and Bruce announced their split after 22 years of marriage.
And
although Kris and Bruce Jenner have been spending a great deal of time
since, Kris has insisted they won’t reconcile because their marriage had
turned unhealthy by the end.
During
a podcast interview with Kathie Lee Gifford, Kris explained: ‘We are
better people and happier just spending time apart than we are spending
time together. We decided this was best for our family. We came to a
place where this isn’t healthy, the way we were treating each other.’
Despite the break-up, Kris doesn’t have any regrets about the time they spent together.
Famous friends: The Kardashian/Jenner family are quite popular in Hollywood and have a number of famous friends
'I
was so blessed to meet Bruce Jenner,' she said. 'I adore Bruce. Bruce
and I are and will remain best friends. We’re just separated, we’re not
divorcing. And what happens in life is that we are better people and
happier spending time apart than together. This is the best for our
situation and we’re keeping it real tight and private. It’s just what we
need to do right now.
'Bruce
and I work together every day. We speak on the phone about twelve times
a day. Not a lot has changed in our family dynamic.
'When
you are mature enough to realise that a relationship might be better a
different way which is what we had to do. I would rather have him in my
life as a friend rather than not in my life at all.'
