Though the Kardashian-Jenner clan seemingly bare all on their reality TV show, "Keeping Up with the Kardashians," there are some things about Kris and Bruce Jenner's marriage not even the most avid fans know.

Kris Jenner spoke to HuffPost Weddings about her relationship, offering insight into how the couple has stayed strong for nearly 21 years. Below, 10 things you might not know about the Jenners' relationship and their big family's life.

1. Bruce ordered meatloaf the first night they met.

"I thought, 'I love this guy, he has meatloaf and mashies.' It was fabulous."

2. The proposal was a total surprise.

"We were at a restaurant and he just dropped to a knee. We had been house-hunting all day and we were thinking about moving in together, and then I thought to myself, driving to the restaurant that we were going to, 'I must be out of my mind that we're house-hunting. We're not even married, we're not even engaged!' And that night he just busted out a move. He said, 'I am totally in love with you and would you marry me?' I was very surprised."

3. He didn't propose with a ring.

"You know when I got a ring? A few months ago in Bora Bora. I got my ring for my twentieth anniversary. We'd only known each other a few months [when we got engaged] and I don't think he really knew what my taste was. I'm really kind of picky about that stuff, in case you hadn't noticed. I'm very specific and he knew how anal I was. I'm kind of crazy that way."

4. Kris and her ex-husband Robert Kardashian were still best friends when Kris met Bruce; luckily the two men got along well.

"We [Robert and I] remained really, really close and had a really great parenting style with our kids. Then Bruce became really good friends with Robert, they would play golf together, so we've always had a one big happy family kind of a relationship. So with Bruce, everyone loves Bruce. When you get married to me, I had four kids at the time, so you've got to get married to the kids. So I had the kids and I had an ex-husband. He got everyone's stamp of approval. Bruce was delicious."

5. Kris and Bruce ride motorcycles together.

"We both have our own motorcycles, no one knows that ... When you're under that helmet nobody really knows who you are, so it's kind of fun.

Bruce has been into motorcycles since he won the Olympics ... I got him a Harley when we first got married, as a surprise. He loves Harleys, so I got him another one for Valentine's Day a few years ago. And then he surprised me with a pink Vespa a couple years ago. He bought me my first Harley in the 90's, he bought me a Harley Sportster. I got on it and we were driving, it was Christmas Day, and we were driving down Sunset Blvd. and I crashed my motorcycle on Sunset. I stopped at a red light and the bike stalled and I didn't know what to do so I jumped off and left the bike; the bike just fell over. That was the last time I rode my Harley. It scared me to death!"

6. They got married in a friend's backyard.

"It was a very intimate, small wedding ... I had such a big wedding the first time and we just really wanted close family and friends [the second time]. "

7. The worst argument they've ever had was over a toy helicopter.

"One time he put a helicopter in the back of one of my cars. It was so hot and he closed the trunk and the entire car caught on fire. That was our worst fight. I was like, 'Get your helicopters out of my life!'"

8. Kris doesn't give her daughters love advice.

"I try to stay out of it because I figure, you can't win with that. The heart knows what the heart wants ... I'm more advice-worthy when it comes to business relationship with them ... If they want to talk about somebody they're dating, or some situation they're having with a boyfriend or a husband, then I'm always here to listen and give my two cents."

9. A friend introduced Kris to Zestra, a new women's arousal product that she endorses, and she loved it right away.

"When you're married long-term you need to figure out things to do to spice up your relationship ... I had a friend who introduced me to Zestra. Guys are always talking about sex, and they've always had help in the bedroom. When I heard about this [product] I was like, 'Wow, there's something for women too.'"

10. One year, each of their six children attended a different school.

"Everybody needed to get there on time ... It was a big [challenge]."

I'm feeling a bit dumber now. Thank Huffington Post for another POINTLESS story, about someone we could care less about. I read the article just to see what nonsense would be part of the story...and low and behold, I was not let down. I just read an article about a woman trying to sound as if she was not shallow, and then plugged a product she profited from at the end of the interview!! Shameless, shallow and just like her daughters and vice versa.

yeh i was especially thrilled to read about a fire from a toy helicopter in ONE of her cars

If you don't like them or don't want to hear about them, THEN DON'T COMMENT ABOUT THEM!!
09:55 PM on 02/22/2012
Sooooo.......are you saying that the "comments" section is reserved ONLY
for those that have a "positive" view of the Kardashians ??

Because if that is so......there will be very FEW comments in the
"comments" section......

Whether you like it or not.....While the Kardashians may think they
are "all that"....The "comments section" show that "they" and their
"supporters" are in the MINORITY......

I guess it's a good thing that THEY "adore themselves".......One wouldn't
want their "self-esteem" to tank if they actually read these comments
and "took them to heart" as anyone that lived in the "real world" would
do......

But then......NONE of them live in the "real world"...........

Ummm, I was making a brief statement, but yes, if you don't have anything nice to say about the Kardashians or anybody, don't say anything at all, why waist your time? I was under the assumption that most of us learned that in childhood, I guess "assuming" did make an 'ass' of me, but not a judgmental person, not judging them or you!!

OK and So ! ? Is this different than most people out here other than they have money/fame and for some reason the TV/News Media thinks we want to know about these people. Guess what I DON"T.

Just so you know I DID NOT read the story .I want them to go away , I dont care what they have to say. They are useless, parasites that are taking up space where we could be reading some thing interesting stories.
GO AWAY

That's alot of energy towards someone you don't want to acknowledge. I think there are some personal issues you need to deal with. I was really shocked to see that someone that "doesn't care" about something would be so grotesque. There are many ways to make a point without being synical.

What a surprise?.......Kim was introduced to "ZESTRA" by a friend.
Don't you people get it?....this was an article promoting a product.
They managed to make this article an advertisment...I would bet anything
Ms. Kardashian gets a cut of the profits....this family is amazing.

It just amazes me that one of my young adult heroes has been reduced to the biggest joke in the country (perhaps the world) Bruce showed the world that one summer how strength and discipline can make you a Olympic champion. But as is so often the case, that central focus made him a complete buffoon in other areas. Good luck Bruce, youre gonna need it.

And this is news???, good grief, get a life. 2 minutes of my life wasted reading an article that was useless. My own fault.

WHAT HAPPENED TO ROBERT KARDASIAN.?.HE SEEMED TO DISAPPEAR AFTER DANCING WITH THE STARS. THE WOMEN ALL SEEM TO BE BUSY DOING NOTHING!! THEY ARE AROUND THE POOL, GOING TO THE SPA OR SHOPPING AT THE MOST EXCLUSIVE SHOPS.
I HAD READ THAT BRUCE JENNER DIDN'T THINK HIS DAUGHTERS NEEDED TO GO TO COLLEGE. BAD IDEA...AT COLLEGE YOU LEARN ABOUT LIFE AND WHAT YOU CAN DO TO DEVELO.P SKILLS IN MANY AREAS

bob was written out of the script, went into hiatus, then died on cue from kris and just in time to avoid being embarrassed to death by his spawn.
01:59 PM on 02/22/2012
embarrassed by his spawn ??? that pales to the fact that he was one of the lawyers that aided in the not guilty verdict that set OJ free !!! ... this family has embarrassment lineage.....
