Los Angeles, CA – December 4, 2025 – At 70, Kris Jenner continues to redefine aging on her own terms, blending unapologetic candor with her trademark humor in the newest episode of Hulu's The Kardashians. During a candid chat in Paris with daughter Kim Kardashian, the powerhouse momager quipped that her nose is "probably the only thing on my face that's real," owning her recent $100,000 facelift while playfully ribbing Kim about longstanding rumors surrounding her famous curves. The moment, aired Thursday, has reignited conversations about beauty standards, family dynamics, and the Kardashian-Jenner clan's openness about cosmetic enhancements, amassing millions of views and sparking a fresh wave of social media buzz.
The scene unfolds amid a glamorous shopping spree in the French capital, where Kim, 45, teases her mother about her ensemble – a tailored suit paired with loafers – before pivoting to the elephant in the room: their shared history of aesthetic tweaks. "The noses are probably the only thing on my face that's real," Kris jokes, prompting laughter from producers off-camera. Kim counters swiftly, insisting her teeth are authentic: "Never had a veneer, baby." Not missing a beat, Kris retorts, "Bend over," a cheeky allusion to persistent speculation about Kim's backside, which the Skims founder has repeatedly denied involved implants or a Brazilian butt lift. The exchange encapsulates the family's signature blend of vulnerability and levity, turning what could be a tense topic into prime reality TV gold.
This isn't Kris's first foray into surgical refreshment. The procedure, her second facelift after one in 2011 documented on Keeping Up with the Kardashians, was performed by New York-based plastic surgeon Dr. Steven M. Levine, dubbed the "facelift maestro" for his work with high-profile clients. Levine's techniques, starting at $45,000, emphasize natural-looking results through minimally invasive methods, and Kris's case reportedly clocked in at six figures due to its comprehensive scope. Kylie Jenner, 28, accompanied her mother in person, while Kim stayed looped in via constant FaceTime, underscoring the clan's tight-knit support system during personal milestones.
Kris first turned heads with her transformed visage in May, when she jetted to Paris for Lauren Sánchez's star-studded bachelorette party – a glittering affair ahead of Sánchez's June nuptials to Amazon founder Jeff Bezos. The event drew an elite guest list including Kim Kardashian, Katy Perry, Eva Longoria, and Kris herself, who stunned in a black velvet turtleneck and pearl-fringed skirt during a Seine river cruise and rooftop dinner at the Cheval Blanc hotel. Photos from the weekend, shared by Sánchez on Instagram, captured Kris beaming alongside Perry and Longoria, her smoother complexion and taut jawline immediately fueling online frenzy. "Kris Jenner looks 40!" one fan tweeted, while others speculated wildly about filters or fillers. Makeup artist Ash Holm's behind-the-scenes video of Kris prepping for the trip went viral, showcasing her post-op glow and amplifying the chatter.
The buzz peaked when PEOPLE confirmed the facelift in June, crediting Levine's expertise for the "youthful yet subtle" outcome. Kris addressed the elephant in the room head-on during an August cover interview with Vogue Arabia, her first major sit-down post-procedure. "I had a facelift about 15 years ago, so it was time for a refresh," she revealed, framing the decision as empowerment rather than vanity. "I decided to do this facelift because I want to be the best version of myself, and that makes me happy. Just because you get older, it doesn’t mean you should give up on yourself."
She elaborated on her philosophy of "aging gracefully – my version," emphasizing that while some embrace natural lines, her path involves proactive steps to maintain vitality. "If you feel comfortable in your skin and you want to age gracefully – meaning you don’t want to do anything – then don’t do anything. But for me, this is aging gracefully. It’s my version." The Vogue Arabia feature, photographed by Norman Jean Roy and styled by Law Roach, positioned Kris as a reinvention icon at 69 (now 70), delving into her empire-building alongside her six children. She credited her late mother, Mary Jo Shannon, who worked until 82, for inspiring her relentless drive: "I’m planning on following suit. Maybe 85?"
The interview also touched on transparency's power, with Kris noting she filmed her hip replacement for the show because "sharing these things can be helpful" to fans grappling with insecurities. Her candor has resonated, with supporters praising her for destigmatizing procedures in an industry rife with secrecy.
Family reactions have been overwhelmingly positive. Kim, who attended the Paris bachelorette with Kris, reposted a fan-made graphic in June proclaiming, "I'll have what Kris Jenner is having," signaling playful endorsement. In the season 7 premiere of The Kardashians back in October, Kim recounted a hilarious mix-up at Sánchez's party where a guest mistook Kris for her: "We were at Lauren Sánchez’s bachelorette dinner, and someone taps my mom on the shoulder and they go, ‘Kim?’" Kylie echoed the sentiment, telling producers, "She is milking this. I am so happy that now I know where I can go when the time comes." Even Khloé Kardashian, known for her own fitness-focused glow-up, has lauded Kris's discipline, noting on X that no surgery can replicate her mother's sculpted neck and shoulders – a nod to Kris's rigorous workout regimen.
Yet, the reveal hasn't been without scrutiny. Social media has buzzed with debates on over-editing, with some X users likening Kris's pre- and post-op looks to "clones" or speculating about extreme measures like blood transfusions. Critics, including one post quipping, "Kris Jenner is on her third head and looks like Kim now," highlight the uncanny resemblance that has led to double-take moments. Others defend her choices, arguing the family promotes body positivity by being forthright – a stark contrast to Hollywood's historical hush-hush on enhancements.
Kris's journey mirrors broader cultural shifts. At 70, she's not just managing her brood's billion-dollar brands – from Skims to 818 Tequila – but embodying a post-#MeToo era of female agency over appearance. Her net worth, estimated at $170 million, stems from savvy deals like the Hulu extension worth $200 million for two more seasons of The Kardashians. Recent ventures include her role as the face of MAC Cosmetics, a move that irked Kim and Kylie amid their own beauty lines but underscores Kris's enduring marketability.
The Paris episode ties into season 7's themes of legacy and reinvention, premiering amid Kris's milestone birthday bash in November, attended by Prince Harry and Meghan Markle. As Kris told Vogue Arabia, "From reality TV matriarch to business mastermind... her empire continues to expand." Fans speculate future episodes may explore Kim's potential procedures, given her "so happy" quip about Levine's contact info.
In an industry where youth is currency, Kris Jenner's facelift saga – from Sánchez's bash to Hulu's confessional couch – affirms her ethos: Age boldly, laugh often, and always share the journey. As she put it, "Beauty, ambition, and resilience have no expiration date." With The Kardashians renewed through 2027, expect more unfiltered truths from the woman who built an empire on them.
