Thank goodness there are so many members of the Kardashian family. Part of what made Keeping Up with the Kardashians such a must-watch mega-hit was that, at any point throughout the series, someone had drama. Whether it was Kris, Kourtney, Kim, Khloe, Kendall, or Kylie, someone in the Kardashian-Jenner household had something going on. Thankfully, according to a new interview, their new reality venture The Kardashians (arriving on Hulu on April 14th) is sure to be another hit.
Case in point? Kim is already delivering headline-making news in her recent chat, talking publicly for the first time about her 28-year-old boyfriend, Saturday Night Live comedian Pete Davidson. In an interview with Variety, Kim mused over the possibility of Davidson joining the reality TV royal family on screen.
“I have not filmed with him. And I’m not opposed to it. It’s just not what he does,” she told the outlet. “But if there was an event happening and he was there, he wouldn’t tell the cameras to get away. I think I might film something really exciting coming, but it wouldn’t be for this season.”
What will be in the upcoming Hulu series is conversations around how the pair met. She said fans can expect to find out “who reached out to who and how it happened and all the details that everyone wants to know.” Kardashian said. “I’m definitely open to talking, and I definitely explain it.”
She also revealed that her ex-husband Kanye West, will be featured in the first episode. “Being in the public eye and having disagreements publicly is never easy,” said Kim. “But I do believe in handling it all privately. I believe in championing publicly and criticizing privately. I don’t think I would ever criticize the father of my children on my TV show. That’s just not really what I’m about, and I just don’t think that would ever make me feel good.”
Like we said, with such a big family, there’s plenty of additional drama that will be shown on screens as well, including highs and lows of each sister’s lives. There’s Kourtney’s whirlwind romance and subsequent engagement to Blink-182 drummer Travis Barker, the birth of Kylie Jenner’s second child, and Khloe’s recent relationship drama with basketball player Tristan Thompson.
“I wish I never had to talk about that because it’s not a fun thing to talk about,” Khloé said. “But it is part of my journey in life, so we will see it on the show.”
The family also talked about taking their show from E! to Hulu, citing a quicker turnaround as one reason. “We wanted it to be as current as possible,” Kim said. “We hated how long we had to wait. That was like the death of us, because once we got over something, we had to rehash it all over again.”
Another deciding factor? “Well, money always matters,” Jenner said like the momager maven she is. “I think that anybody would be foolish to say that money doesn’t matter anymore.”
The Kardashians airs on Hulu on April 14.
