And that’s a wrap.

Keeping Up With The Kardashians finished filming last Saturday. Announcing the news on social media, Kim revealed that the family had officially recorded their last episode, and then toasted to the show’s success with a couple drinks alongside their crew.

“Ok guys, we just finished filming forever. Like forever, ever. We’re done. We’re never filming again. Isn’t that so crazy? So we’re having a drink with the crew in my background, hanging out,” Kim explained.

But what we rarely see on camera, besides the odd incident that the show records, is the people that are behind the cameras and just how close they are with the Kardashian family off-screen.

Back in 2018 while speaking to Jimmy Kimmel, Khloe spoke about how the camera crew knew about her pregnancy with True before even some of her family members did as the cameras were rolling. She then added that they’ve shared many a special moment together.

“I’ve known the crew since 2007. We’ve had pretty much essentially the same crew. They’ve been a part of so much, the best and the worst, in our lives — and they keep quiet.”

Adding to that, Kendall also explained what it was like to grow up with cameras in her house since such a young age, explaining that they’ve all got a close bond and feed off each other’s emotions.

“We have such a personal relationship with the crew. When one of us cries on the show usually you’ll look around and the camera guy is crying and the producer is crying.”

And so, to thank the camera crew, which the Kar-Jenners see as family, they all received a Rolex watch retailing at about $10,ooo each.

Given to 30 of their crew and staff, the famous family thanked the staff for their time onset, the long hours and most importantly, the success of their show – which takes more than just the celebrities to rise in popularity.

It is believed the Kardashian family spent over $300K on the gifts which apparently left the crew feeling very “emotional and thankful” according to a TMZ source.

The final season of the Kardashians is expected to air early this year. But fear not, there’s a Hulu and STAR show in talks as part of their new collaboration – read more here.
