Corey Gamble marked Kris Jenner’s 71st birthday on Nov. 5 with an Instagram tribute that called her his “lil wife.” The post put their relationship back in the public frame, even as neither has spelled out whether they are married.
Gamble wrote, “Happiest Birthday to the Holy Grail …. Love you forever” and added, “Keep being Great. You're the greatest mother, Lovey & Honey to all your kids and im blessed to have you in my life lil wife.” He closed with, “To many more great years ….. Love you much.”
Kris Jenner and Corey Gamble
Jenner reshared the message on Instagram Stories and replied, “Love you.” Khloe Kardashian also weighed in under the post, writing, “Awww that's sweet Corey.”
The wording landed with extra weight because Jenner has already treated the marriage question as unsettled in public. In April, she said on her Khloe in Wonder Land podcast, “You could be a flower girl,” when asked about walking down the aisle again, then added, “I don't really have time to dwell on things because I'm so busy,” and listed her grandchildren, her children, her mother, CeCe, and Corey as the people filling her life.
The 2014 timeline
Jenner began dating Gamble in 2014, and she said in March 2025 on The Kardashians, “We've been together over a decade—never thought I'd say that again—and we just have a lot of fun together.” That makes the “lil wife” line read less like a casual birthday flourish and more like a public shorthand for a relationship that has already outlasted the usual celebrity-cycle churn.
Khloe Kardashian has also described Gamble as steady inside the family’s chaos, saying on her Khloe in Wonder Land podcast in March 2025, “He doesn't try to control you. He lets you be you,” before Jenner added, “And he makes it easier to be me.” Gamble’s own tribute now keeps the same question alive: affectionate nickname, private marriage, or both.
Instagram Stories and replies
For readers tracking the relationship, the useful detail is not the birthday greeting itself but the gap between the language and the record. Gamble used the word “wife,” Jenner responded with a soft repost, and nobody added a direct clarification that would settle the issue one way or the other.
That leaves the story where it started, with the two of them publicly attached and privately undefined. The post deepens the speculation, but the only hard answer in view is that Corey Gamble chose Nov. 5 to call Kris Jenner his “lil wife.”
