Kris has been dating Corey, a 35-year-old music manager, for over a year. “He’s such a nice person,” says Kim. “She can connect with him and go to the movies with him, work out with him. It’s the little things.” As for the 25-year-age difference? Kim says she had a laugh when sister Kourtney, 36, posted a photo calling Corey a Grandpa (Kris has four young grandchildren Mason, 5, Penelope, 3, North, 2 and Reign, 11 months). “She was like, ‘Is this rude?'” says Kim. “And I’m like, no it’s funny! He’s young and he’s a Grandpa!” Keeping up with the Kardashians airs Sundays (9 p.m. ET) on E!
