Kris Jenner was mentioned in a number of Kanye West's now-deleted tweets last week, and while his wife Kim Kardashian has since spoken out about this, the famous momager has kept quiet on the subject. The businesswoman is thought to have a close relationship with her son-in-law, and lived with him for over two years when the celebrity couple were working on their Hidden Hills mansion. Kris has also attended a number of Kanye's concerts and fashion shows and has spoken highly of him in interviews, even addressing his Twitter comments back in 2018. She's also praised him on Keeping Up with the Kardashians, as well as on social media.

Kim and Kanye's bond was also evident back in 2013 when the award-winning star gave his first television interview in three years to support his mother-in-law on her talk show, Kris.

Kanye sat down with Kris to talk about his relationship with Kim and their then baby daughter North. He even shared the first public photo of his daughter, having kept her out of the spotlight during the first few months of her life.

Kris also opened up about Kanye's tweets back in 2018

Kris also publicly defended Kanye back in 2018 following a series of controversial tweets he had posted, which included private text conversations with friends.

Appearing on The Ellen DeGeneres Show, Kris was asked whether Kanye was okay. She responded: "You know, Kayne has a lot of love for all of you, all of his fans, and everyone who's been there to support him forever. And, I know he will explain himself in his own way.

"And, I think anything that he does, and I think this is just important to say, he always does things with really good intentions. I'm going to let him explain himself when the time's ready."
