“I think being really young and dumb is something that plays into it,” she confessed, adding “because you don’t really understand the consequences of your actions.”

She went on to admit that she may have been drawn in by the prospect of something better. “I think that I fell into a situation where I thought that the grass was greener somewhere else…”

Still, Kris expressed remorse for her decisions, noting that she isn’t exactly sure why she did it. “He was such a great husband and such a great dad.

“I made a huge mistake. That’s like, my life’s biggest regret.”

The conversation occurred after Kris’ daughter Khloe pushed her mother to think about what she had done, after the pair were discussing Khloe’s own experience with infidelity.

The father of Khloe’s children, Tristan Thompson, has cheated on her numerous times, including during her pregnancy.

Kris had been asking Khloe to be careful before she cuts off Tristan for good, leading Khloe to be confused as to why her mother wouldn’t want him totally separate from her.

In response, Kris explained that her own life experiences have made her wary of burning bridges. “I just want Khloe to be really careful when she makes these decisions, and she has to let somebody go.”

Going on to say that while she knows she made mistakes, she believes everything happens for a reason.

“You know, I’m not proud of the way that I behaved during that time, but you know what? Everything happens for a reason.

“I really do live my life by thinking God has a plan. And without that whole thing happening, there never would’ve been Kendall and Kylie [Jenner]”

Kris has been in a relationship with boyfriend Corey Gamble for eight years.
