“The problem is, if Kris wants to make it a plot line, she can bring it up herself and gossip about it to one of the sisters, so Kendall doesn’t really have much control,” a source suggested.

However, Kendall stood her ground and refused to back down from her demands.“She’s really into Jacob and she doesn’t want his mom to ruin it,” the source revealed of Kendall’s determination to keep the relationship away from the cameras and stories.
