When it comes to the world of celebrity grandmothers, many of them have creative nicknames that their families call them. For instance, Tom Hanks liked to be called “pappou,” while Rita Wilson is called “yia yia,” in Greek, per ET, while Goldie Hawn likes to be called “Glam-ma,” because there’s nothing more glamorous than a grandmother who loves to spend time with the youngest members of the fam, right? Hawn told The New York Times in 2011 that she doesn’t like the word grandmother because it is a “word that had so many connotations of old age and decrepitude.”
Well, while no one knows if Kris Jenner feels the same way, she did tell People in 2013 that there was a special meaning behind the name. She said (via the Daily Mail), “At first I was Grandma, and all of a sudden I didn’t like the way that sounded, my mom had a friend called Lovey and I thought that was the cutest name.” It’s a name that Jenner even wears proudly as she wore a necklace with “Lovey” on it ahead of a Harper’s Bazaar photoshoot in 2016.
Now, as far as how Lovey feels about her children having children outside of marriage is actually quite surprising.
