Kris Jenner gave Ellen DeGeneres a playful public shoutout on Instagram today, dropping a caption that made it clear the two are still very much in each other’s orbit.
The post featured a video credited to Derek Blasberg, with Kris writing: “still at her shenanigans… it never gets old” alongside a laughing emoji and a white heart. What exactly Ellen was doing in the video wasn’t spelled out. That only made the whole thing more fun.
It’s a light, friendly moment. Some celebrity bonds hold up well past their most visible years. This looks like one of them.
The two go back a long way. The Kardashian-Jenner family were regular guests on The Ellen DeGeneres Show across its 19-season run, and Kris was a particularly frequent presence. The warmth between them was always visible on screen. Ellen’s show wrapped in 2022, and those regular public crossovers naturally quieted down. But the friendship clearly didn’t.
Ellen has kept a noticeably lower profile in the years that followed. She relocated to the UK with her wife, Portia de Rossi, and largely stepped back from American television. A Netflix stand-up special brought her back into wider conversation for a stretch, but her day-to-day life has been quieter compared to her talk-show years. She’s not entirely off the radar, and her name still comes up in entertainment conversations. Being remembered warmly and publicly by someone as visible as Kris Jenner is, by any measure, not a small thing.
That context makes today’s post interesting. Kris doesn’t casually invoke people. A caption like this, short and a little teasing but clearly warm, is the kind of thing that keeps a friendship visible without making a big production of it. The credit to Derek Blasberg is a nice detail, too. Blasberg is well-connected across international entertainment and fashion circles, and his name appearing here suggests this was a genuinely candid moment rather than anything staged.
The specifics of the “shenanigans” remain a mystery. Ellen has always been one to prank and tease. Kris’s caption doesn’t narrow it down at all. The fact that she found it funny enough to share with her millions of followers says plenty.
Ellen hasn’t responded publicly to the post yet. She’s historically quick to engage with friends online. A response wouldn’t be surprising.
For fans of both women, the post is a small but stunning reminder that celebrity friendships can be genuine. The affection in that caption is completely readable, and that’s what makes it worth noting.
Kris Jenner remains one of the more interesting public figures to follow for precisely this reason. She moves between the very public and the quietly personal with ease. A lot of celebrity social media is carefully managed. This one looked like an actual friend having an actual laugh.
