“The problem is, if Kris wants to make it a plot line, she can just mention it herself and gossip to one of the sisters about it, so Kendall doesn’t actually have a lot of control,” an insider suggested.

However, Kendall remained firm in her position and refused to back down from her demands.“She’s very into Jacob and doesn’t want her mom ruining it,” the source revealed about Kendall’s determination to keep the relationship away from the cameras and storylines.
