Before the Jenner-Kardashian clan took over with their hit show “Keeping Up with the Kardashians,” Kris Jenner was a housewife with little of her own money to her name. She met her first husband, the late Robert Kardashian, in 1973 after crossing paths at a horse race. Kardashian was a powerhouse attorney, who famously represented O.J. Simpson when he was acquitted of murdering his ex-wife Nicole Brown Simpson. The two tied the knot in 1978 and went on to have four children.
Insider sources revealed in the book “The Kardashians: An American Drama” (per PageSix) that Jenner and Kardashian lived an opulent life. Jenner was allegedly a natural host, using their former Beverly Hills mansion as the backdrop for several high-profile parties. Behind the scenes, however, Jenner’s marriage to Kardashian was on the rocks. The business mogul admitted in her memoir “Kris Jenner… and All Things Kardashian,”(per Mirror) that she had an affair. “It made me feel young, attractive, sexy, and alive. Along with these feelings came a wave of nausea. I actually wanted to throw up at the same time. Because it dawned on me that I had not felt that way with Robert for years,” she admitted.

Jenner and Kardashian divorced in 1991, and the attorney passed away in 2003 after battling cancer. In an interview with OBJECTified, Jenner admitted her affair was a huge reason behind her split with Kardashian. “When I look back on it now, probably one of my biggest regrets in my life is that that marriage fell apart,” she said.
