‘It was really amazing, the attention that we got from that, and so, by the end of the day, I was like, “Let’s print up some t-shirts!” You know, why not? It’s so easy,’ Jenner said.

When asked what else they have made besides t-shirts, after the rise and shine phenomenon, Jenner said they thought about it as a ‘sub-brand’ for Kylie.

Jenner also opened up about reports of her daughter Kourtney Kardashian, 40, leaving the show, confirming that she’s ‘filming again.’

When asked what brought her back, Kris said, ‘I think she just needed a bit of a break. You know how we all hit a tipping point, and she hit a wall.’

‘She was frustrated and she felt underappreciated and her sisters didn’t appreciate her boundaries, so I think after taking a little bit of time off, she’s seen the light,’ Jenner said, which Ellen joked was, ‘money.’

A teaser for the 18th season of Keeping Up with the Kardashians was released on Tuesday, which showed Kim and Kourtney getting into an actual fist fight.

‘I wasn’t there when they had that argument, and I have not seen them really fight like that since they were in high school,’ Jenner said.

She added, ‘It made me really sad. I was like, you guys can’t be fighting with each other, that’s ridiculous. Grow up!’ 

Kris was also asked about whether or not Kylie and Stormi’s father, rapper Travis Scott are back together, but she wouldn’t exactly confirm.

‘I don’t know if they’re back together, but they’re just great co-parenters,’ Jenner said.
