14 DAY TRIAL // Kylie Jenner is 18 years old as of August 10 and her mother and manager, Kris Jenner, is itching to bank on her new legal status. Kylie has already gone public with her relationship with 25-year-old rapper Tyga, who will be included on the family reality show, but Kris wants more.
Once the new season debuts, depending on the ratings their relationship will get, Kris wants them to star in their own reality show, Hollywood Life says. For that to happen, she’s making sure they get the most screentime on the upcoming season.
Kris is pulling all the strings
This new report is in line with one that emerged the other day, about how Tyga would be incorporated in the series and would also be paid. At first, insiders revealed, he would get a per-episode deal, but if his story with Kylie got enough interest, he would most definitely get a raise.
Tyga and Kylie have actually been dating since she was 15 or 16, but they waited until she turned 18 to go public. The family is now on vacation in St. Barts, shooting scenes for the upcoming season - and Tyga is there too, in his official capacity as Kylie’s boyfriend.
This was part of Kris’ plan all along, the report says: she’s been planning this move since they started dating, because she knows she’s “sitting on a pot of gold” and she knew reality television was the best way to make the most of it.
“[Kris] had strict directions when they were filming too. She wanted Kylie and Tyga to film scenes alone - just the two of them - with no else,” says a spy. “She didn’t want anyone in their spotlight or storyline. She wanted them to be comfortable in front of the camera and just evolve naturally. Kris wanted them in front of the cameras and in the spotlight and that’s exactly what happened.”
The next move, according to the plan, will be for her to get them their own reality show. Apparently, Kris is convinced Kylie and Tyga have the potential to be bigger even than sister Kim Kardashian and husband Kanye West.
Tyga will most definitely be on Keeping Up with the Kardashians
Even if this rumor doesn’t pan out, and Kylie and Tyga don’t get their own reality series, one thing is certain: he will be on Keeping Up with the Kardashians.
Each year, the family heads out to some exotic location for a family vacation, with all costs supposedly covered by parent network E!. In exchange, the Kardashians allow E! cameras to tag along, and the vacation provides enough material for at least a couple of episodes.
This year, Caitlyn Jenner (formerly known as Bruce) wasn’t invited, as neither was Scott Disick, Kourtney’s longtime partner, whom she dumped after he was caught getting handsy with an ex. Khloe left new beau James Harden at home, but Kris brought hers along, Corey Gamble.
Tyga is also there, and paparazzi photos show him and Kylie holding hands in public and doing fun stuff at sea, while E! cameras are rolling.
