Kris Jenner and her longtime boyfriend, Corey Gamble, were aboard a private luxury yacht with friends when it was attacked by vandals protesting climate change in Barcelona on Sunday.

The 68-year-old ‘mum’, who recently said she can’t spend time alone with her 13 grandchildren to ‘really get to know them’, was eating on the deck of the ship when she was splattered with black paint.

According to witnesses, a group of environmentalists poured buckets of paint on the side of the ship. Some carried signs reading “Combustible Fossils” and “Tourism” with a police presence.

The $300 million yacht belongs to billionaire David Geffen, 80, who was also on board with his boyfriend Donovan Michaels, 30.

Geffen made his fortune as a co-founder of DreamWorks and as a record executive.

During the fiasco, Jenner kept her cool while rocking a trendy black and white tracksuit with a pair of designer sunglasses.

Her longtime boyfriend, Corey Gamble, 43, looked comfortable in a gray T-shirt and black shorts and a gold watch to enhance his look.

Geffen, 81, sported a tan hat with navy trim paired with a black long sleeve as he hugged another friend.

It is not yet known whether charges have been brought against the activists who threw the paint on the ship.

Only a small section of the front left side of the boat was stained, but it was immediately cleaned.

The Rising Sun is about 138 m (453 ft) long. It cost at least $300m (£250m), and some reports suggest it could be worth up to $590m (£498m).

The superyacht was originally built in 2004 by Germany’s Lurssen at its Bremen shipyard for Larry Ellison, CEO of Oracle Corporation.

The ship has a whopping 82 rooms and features a gym, basketball court, wine cellar, and cinema.

Businessman Geffen, who founded the DreamWorks film studio and several record labels, has owned the superyacht since 2010, having initially purchased half of the yacht’s shares in late 2006.

The tycoon has welcomed a long list of celebrities on the ship, including Barack and Michelle Obama, Leonardo DiCaprio, Bruce Springsteen, Julia Roberts, Oprah Winfrey and Orlando Bloom.
