Kris Jenner, the 68-year-old matriarch of the Kardashian-Jenner clan, has recently opened up about a significant health issue following her diagnosis of an ovarian tumor.
The reality star and family matriarch disclosed that she will undergo surgery to have her ovaries removed, a decision that has understandably stirred emotional responses from her family.
In a heartfelt episode of The Kardashians aired on July 4, Kim Kardashian expressed her deep sympathy and concern for her mother.
“To have a surgery and remove your ovaries is a really big deal,” Kim said, struggling to hold back tears. “I couldn’t even imagine being in that situation and how you would feel really scared to be going through that.”
Kim’s reaction highlights the emotional weight of the situation and the fear of facing such a significant health challenge.
Kourtney Kardashian also shared her empathetic feelings in a separate confessional. “I totally understand how my mom is feeling because I would feel the same way,” she remarked.
The Poosh founder reflected on the profound impact of the surgery, noting, “It’s your womanly power.”
She acknowledged the sentimental value of the ovaries, stating, “It doesn’t mean it’s taking away who she is or what she’s experienced, but I would feel this sentimental feeling of what it’s created.”
In contrast, Kendall Jenner approached the situation with a more practical perspective. The supermodel acknowledged the emotional aspect of the procedure but emphasized its necessity for Kris’s health.
“I get that it’s sad because they have brought all her kids into the world, which is totally fair,” Kendall said in her confessional.
“But at the same time, what are we gonna use those for anymore? If they’re potentially hurting you, let’s get them outta there.”
Despite the gravity of her diagnosis, Kris remains optimistic and resilient. She viewed the surgery as a symbolic end to a significant chapter in her life but is determined to face it with strength.
“If I can get through the hip replacement,” Kris told her children, “I can get through this.” Her humor and positive attitude shine through as she considers hosting a farewell party for her ovaries before the surgery, aiming to lighten the mood.
