Kris Jenner made a deal with her grandchildren: If they stay away from drugs or alcohol, she'll buy their first car.
With Kris' 14-year-old grandson Mason eligible for his driver's license at age 16, she'll settle up soon.
Years ago, Kris told Mason “on his bar mitzvahthat I would buy him a car when he was 16, if I felt really confident and I could have proof that he’s never done any drugs or alcohol or anything like that," she said during an April 11 episode of the podcast “Next Question with Katie Couric.”
"He said, 'I promise Lovey, I promise,'" Kris recalled, sharing her grandmother nickname. “And then yeah, what happens is my kids kept, you know, keep having kids. So now I have a feeling I’m going to be kind of on the hook for 13 cars if nobody does any drugs or alcohol."
Kris Jenner is the grandmother of six kids and 14 grandchildren:
- North West, 10, Saint, 8, Chicago, 6, and Psalm, 4 (the children of divorced couple Kim Kardashian and Kanye West)
- True, 6, and Tatum, 1 (the children of former couple Khloé Kardashian and Tristan Thompson)
- Mason, 14, Penelope, 11, and Reign, 9, (the children of Kourtney Kardashian and Scott Disick) and Rocky, 5 months (the child of married couple Kourtney Kardashian and Travis Barker).
- Stormi, 6, and Aire, 2 (the children of Kylie Jenner and Travis Scott).
- Dream, 7, (the child of former couple Rob Kardashian and Blac Chyna).

In March, Kris shared how Mason can prove to her that he hasn't touched alcohol or drugs.
"You know, it involves testing and all sorts of stuff," she explained during Los AngelesMagazine’s LA Women’s Luncheon on March 21, according to BuzzFeed.
During Katie Couric's podcast, Kris revealed whether she interferes with her children's parenting rules.
"I always speak my mind — when you feel like making a comment or offering unsolicited advice — I'm sure I annoy (my kids) constantly," joked Jenner. "Because I'm always giving advice. Or, we send things to each other. I send so many things like ... some tip I've learned ... 'You can't eat this, it's poison!'"
Kris added, "So I'm sure my kids think I'm a wackadoodle. But they are very respectful and probably pretend to appreciate my advice."
Here is a refresher on the Kardashian-Jenner grandchildren.
Mason Disick
Mason Dash Disck was born on December 14, 2009, to mom Kourtney Kardashian (Kris Jenner's eldest daughter) and her former partner Scott Disick.
The teen's birth was depicted in the season 4 finale of the family's former show "Keeping Up With the Kardashians." Kourtney pulled her son out of her body as Scott filmed. “The experience was so indescribable and life-changing, and I can’t believe he’s all mine,”Kourtney said of the birth, according to People.
Mason hasn't spent a ton of time in front of the cameras.
“He does not like it. He doesn’t want any part of it. He’s not on social media,” Kourtney once told the "Not Skinny But Not Fat" podcast of her eldest son.
Penelope Disick
Penelope Scotland Disick was born on July 8, 2012 to Kourtney Kardashian and Scott Disick.
Known as "P" for short, Penelope and her mom share a TikTok account where they lip sync and dance. Penelope is BFF with her cousin North West (the daughter of Kim Kardashian and Kanye West).
Penelope has a sense of humor, famously roasting her dad Scott for dating younger women. And she bonds with her stepfather Travis Barker, who is married to Kourtney, by drumming.
For her 9th birthday, the Blink-182 drummer gifted Penelope a set of pink drums and taught her to play.
Reign Disick
Reign Aston Disick was born on December 14, 2014 to Kourtney Kardashian and Scott Disick.
The name Reign was always on Kourtney's baby name list.
“I actually had the name on our list with Mason,” Kourtney told People. “Then with Penelope, I had it on the list but spelled R-A-I-N.” The mom added, “Once I found out I was having a boy, we just changed the spelling again."
Reign dotes on his little brother Rocky (whose mom is Kourtney and her husband Travis Barker) explaining in a November 2023 episode of "The Kardashians," “I’m going to teach him how to play'Call of Duty,''Fortnite,' 'Black Ops III,'Zombies,'" according to People.
Rocky Barker
Rocky Thirteen Barker was born to Kourtney Kardashian and Travis Barker in approximately November 2023.
Barker shared his son's name before he was born.
“I like Rocky Thirteen,” Barker told Complex. “That’s the name that’s just been going through my head lately.”
“Rocky George played guitar for Suicidal Tendencies and 13 is just the greatest number of all time," said Barker, adding, "And ‘Rocky,’ the greatest boxing movie of all time.”
Kourtney's pregnancy announcement with Rocky was epic: In June 2023, she attended her husband's band's Los Angeles concert where she held a sign that read, “Travis I’m pregnant,” inspired by a scene from the Blink-182 music video "All the Small Things"in 1999.
North West
North West, the eldest child of divorced couple Kim Kardashian and Kanye West, was born on June 15, 2013.
“I’m so excited we’re having a girl,” Kim, then pregnant, said on an episode of"Keeping Up with the Kardashians." She added, “Who doesn’t want a girl? I think they are the best. I know that’s really what Kanye has always wanted — he wanted a little girl.”
In addition to her talent for rap, North shares her dad's personality.
"She definitely has Kanye's outgoing personality and will say whatever is on her mind no matter what it is or who it might offend," Kim once told ET. "And then she's also really calm and sweet, like me sometimes."
North has also given feedback to her mom on her outfits.
“North is very opinionated when it comes to what I’m wearing,” Kim toldVogue in 2022. “She’ll always complain when I’m wearing too much black.” In 2023, before the Met Gala, North said of her mom'spearl-and-crystal Schiaparelli dress, “It’s looking, like, beachy" during an episode of “The Kardashians."
Saint West
Saint West was born onDecember 5, 2015 to Kim Kardashian and Kanye West.
When Saint was two months old, Kim gave a peak mom update on her blog:“Pumping and delirious.”
“I’m … hiding in my daughter’s closet,” read the blog post. “Because if she sees I snuck out of her bed, she will start to cry AND I think she gave me a cold so I figure, no better time to write a #StraightUp [post] than now!”
Kim added,“When I had North, all I did was feed and sleep. This time around, I get no sleep. Every waking second that I’m not with the baby, I’m with North. I actually think the harder parts aren’t with the newborn but with the toddler! I feel like I go into overdrive to give my daughter attention and make her feel loved.”
On Mother's Day 2023, Saintshared an outpouring of love for his mom.
“Mom, I’m very grateful for you. I know I’m mean to you a lot and say you’re nothing to me, but you mean the world to me. I love you more than anything,” Saint said in a video posted to Kim's Instagram Story, according to the New York Post.
“You’re my favorite in the family," he said. "I even love you more than my cute little brother Psalm. I love you."
Chicago West
Kim and Kanye's second daughter Chicago West was born January 15, 2018.
"North, Saint & Chi," Kim tweeted as a name announcement.
“7lbs 6oz,” Kim wrote on her blog. “Kanye and I are happy to announce the arrival of our healthy, beautiful baby girl. We are incredibly grateful to our surrogate who made our dreams come true with the greatest gift one could give and to our wonderful doctors and nurses for their special care.”
Kim added: “North and Saint are especially thrilled to welcome their baby sister."
The former couple went the surrogacy route with their third child, as Kim had a pregnancy complication called placenta accreta while carrying North and Saint.
Kim described her surrogacy experience to Entertainment Tonight.
“Anyone that says or thinks (surrogacy) is just the easy way out is just completely wrong,” she said. “I think it is so much harder to go through it this way, because you are not really in control.”
She added, “Obviously you pick someone that you completely trust and that you have a good bond and relationship with, but it is still ... knowing that I was able to carry my first two babies and not, you know, my baby now, it’s hard for me. So, it’s definitely a harder experience than I anticipated just in the control area.”
Psalm West
Psalm West was born May 9, 2019 to Kim Kardashian and Kanye West.
Like his big sister Chicago, Psalm was born through surrogacy. Kris Jenner told "Entertainment Tonight" that the inspiration for the boy's name was the Book of Psalms in the Bible."
We know that Psalm loves heroes — for his 4th birthday in May 2023, his family threw him a firefighter-themed birthday where everyone wore bunker gear.
Stormi Webster
Kylie Jenner and rapper Travis Scott's first child Stormi was born February 1, 2018.
The makeup mogul decided to not publicly confirm her pregnancy.
When Stormi was born, Jenner wrote on Instagram:
“I’m sorry for keeping you in the dark through all the assumptions. I understand you’re used to me bringing you along on all my journeys. My pregnancy was one I chose not to do in front of the world. I knew for myself I needed to prepare for this role of a lifetime in the most positive, stress-free and (healthy) way I knew how.”
Jenner also shared a moving YouTube video packed with family moments titled, "To our daughter."
A few months after Stormi was born, Jenner tweeted, "She has the cutest personality."
Not only does Stormi look like her mom, she has entrepreneurship in her blood.
“Kylie goes to work with Stormi and Stormi loves it,” Kris Jenner said in the docuseries “Inside Kylie Cosmetics," according to "People" adding, "She just absorbs it."
Aire Webster
Kylie Jenner and Travis Scott's second child Aire Webster was born February 2, 2022.
The parents first named their son Wolf although they officially changed it to Aire in 2023. “FYI our son’s name isn’t Wolf anymore. We just really didn’t feel like it was him,” Jenner previously wrote on her Instagram.
Jenner said "The Kardashians" that she named her son Wolf when she was postpartum.
“It was the hormones that took me out,” she said. “It was like, ‘I’m too emotional. He’s so special to me. There’s not a name good enough for him.’”
Jenner added, “I didn’t realize the postpartum (hormones) would hit me that hard. I never called him Wolf ever. And then the second night, I was like, ‘Ooh.' That night, I cried in the shower, and I was like, ‘That’s not his name. What did I just do? Wolf?!’ Someone just told me this 24 hours ago, I just named my son Wolf. It wasn’t even on the list.”
True Thompson
True Thompson was born April 12, 2018 to parents Khloé Kardashian and NBA star Tristan Thompson.
The little girl has her mom's sense of humor.
In 2023, during the season 4 premiere of "The Kardashians," Khloé shared how True reacted to her fear of whales, which were visible from her vacation home in Mexico.
“I am really freaking out. He said they come close to the shore,” she said, according to Us Weekly. “I feel like I am going to cry. I don’t think I am comfortable seeing it.”
True's response to her mother's fear: “My daughter bullies me. She draws me photos of whales just to f—k with me. She thinks it is so funny."
Tatum Thompson
Khloé Kardashian and Tristan Thompson's second child Tatum was born in August 2022, a representative for Kardashian told TODAY.com.
A month prior, a rep for Kardashian told TODAY.com:
“We can confirm True will have a sibling who was conceived in November. Khloé is incredibly grateful to the extraordinary surrogate for such a beautiful blessing. We’d like to ask for kindness and privacy so that Khloé can focus on her family.”
Tatum is "the sweetest most affectionate little man," Khloé wrote on X in September 2023. "He really reminds me of my dad and my brother. It’s beautiful" referring to her brother Rob Kardashian and their late father Robert Kardashian.
