To our amazing fans - It is with heavy hearts that we’ve made the difficult decision as a family to say goodbye to Keeping Up with the Kardashians. After what will be 14 years, 20 seasons, hundreds of episodes and numerous spin-off shows, we are beyond grateful to all of you who’ve watched us for all of these years – through the good times, the bad times, the happiness, the tears, and the many relationships and children. We’ll forever cherish the wonderful memories and countless people we’ve met along the way. Thank you to the thousands of individuals and businesses that have been a part of this experience and, most importantly, a very special thank you to Ryan Seacrest for believing in us, E! for being our partner, and our production team at Bunim/Murray, who’ve spent countless hours documenting our lives. Our last season will air early next year in 2021. Without Keeping Up with The Kardashians, I wouldn’t be where I am today. I am so incredibly grateful to everyone who has watched and supported me and my family these past 14 incredible years. This show made us who we are and I will be forever in debt to everyone who played a role in shaping our careers and changing our lives forever. With Love and Gratitude, Kim

Upon asking why the show ended out of sudden, Kris gave a simple answer saying, "I think the number 20, well it used to sound good until 2020, but the number 20, it just seemed like the right time." The momager explained that she's looking forward to the opportunity to "take a minute and breathe and [for] everybody [to] slow down a bit. Not slow down professionally, but... figure out what our next steps are."

Everyone is very emotional with the news as we've already created a bond with the show. "We had to tell the crew yesterday, so we were all crying." As Kris said, Khloe has been having a hard time dealing with the news. "Khloé…is probably the one who is taking it the hardest and really hasn't stopped crying since we announced. She's been so sweet and just emotional about it," she said.

Saying this, it hasn't been easier for Kris either as she said she "really hasn't" fully processed it. "I woke up and was in the gym at 5 o'clock with Khloé and Kim and we just kind of sat there and looked at each other and said, 'Whoa, what a ride.' It was quite the morning." she explained the situation.

"It's funny when we talked yesterday, I kinda had my wits about me and I thought I was really strong. And, you know, this is the right decision," Kris said. "Today I wake up and I was thinking about the first time you and I ever did an interview on the air, and I was so excited and so nervous." Kris ended the talk by calling "KUWTK" to be the "best home movies we'll ever be able to produce," also adding that they're "grateful for every single moment."
