Kylie previously spoke to PEOPLE about her husband’s new role, saying she was “excited to see Jason excel in a new position.”
“I joke that it’s a bummer that he’s good at everything, and I know I’m biased in that, but I truly believe he’s good at everything because even if he’s not good at first or the best at first, he’ll work relentlessly and tirelessly until he can achieve it,” he continued.
“I therefore have every confidence that he will rise to his new position and excel.”
