Kylie Jenner & Tyga: Why Kris Jenner Supports Their Close Relationship

Kylie Jenner, 17, is the youngest of all of the Kardashian-Jenner children, and some would even dare to call her the wildest. However, despite her rumored romance with a much older man — Tyga, 25 — her mom, Kris Jenner, 59, still keeps tabs on her little girl

Kylie Jenner & Tyga’s Romance: Why Kris Jenner Approves

Not a lot of parents would allow their 17-year-old child to befriend and possibly form a relationship with someone who was 25.

Kris may not be one of those parents, but she’s also not giving Kylie free reign of her life — with or without Tyga — just yet.

“Kris is allowing Kylie to spend time away from the home just so long as she knows where she is at all times and that they’re in constant communication,” a source close to the family told HollywoodLife.com EXCLUSIVELY.

However, it also has a little bit to do with the fact that Kylie is going to be 18 this year, and Kris knows that once she’s of legal age she’ll be making her own decisions no matter what Kris thinks.

“[Kris] understands that Kylie will turn 18 this year and wants to give her some leeway if you will. She knows that once Kylie‘s 18 birthday comes, Kylie will do her own thing and move out of her home.”

Kris Wants Kylie To Be Independent

Just like her four older sisters, Kris wants to make sure that Kylie is able to take care of herself when the time comes.

“Trust, Kris would much rather have Kylie at home under lock and key but because she wants Kylie to become her own woman and to not have and rebellion or tension in the home between them, she’s on board with everything,” our source also explained.

With the exception of Kim Kardashian, 34, all of Kylie’s older siblings moved out of Kris’ home a while ago. Even Kendall Jenner, 19, moved out just this past year and got her own place.

One thing Kris is not is naive, and she definitely knows — and accepts — that Kylie is the next bird to fly the family coop.
