On this week’s episode ofThe Kardashians, the 41-year-old reality star and businesswoman broke the news to her family that her then-boyfriend, who was originally set to joinBlue Origin’s 20th mission to space in March, wouldn’t be making the trip after all.
“Are you excited that Pete’s going to space?” asked her younger sisterKendall Jenner.
“I don’t think it’s happening,” the mother of four replied, explaining that “the flight got moved to a different date so there’s scheduling conflicts” with a movie he was working on at the time.
Although the situation was beyond theKing of Staten Islandactor’s control, Kardashian said she couldn’t help but feel bummed for him.
“It sucks,” she remarked. “I’m sure there’s nothing more Pete would love than to get off of this planet right now and would love to go to space to go away from everyone.”
