{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}"Kanye’s an amazing son-in-law. He’s an amazing dad and husband and friend and brother-in-law. So we know my son-in-law, Kanye,” Jenner explained of Kim Kardashian’s husband. "My job as a mom is just to be there for my kids and be supportive and love them.”
Though she manages her children’s impressive careers, Jenner noted that she isn’t in charge of how they and the people around them conduct themselves in public.
"You can’t control what somebody else is doing. I can’t always control what any of them do at any time,” she said. "But I think what I really want to do is be there to help him and be the best version of himself that he can be.”

"He was sharing thoughts and things of himself. But I would rather he share some of that stuff privately. Obviously, that would be great.”
Noting that the rapper “definitely has his own thoughts and opinions and he gets very excited about that,” Jenner added, "He does have different sides to him and this is a side that nobody’s seen before."
