Kris Jenner told Martha Stewart she is fine with her daughters having babies without being married despite being "old-fashioned" herself.

"I got pregnant on our honeymoon. I had Kourtney nine months, two weeks, and two days later. And I know that because all the Armenian ladies were probably counting," she said in an interview on "The Martha Stewart Podcast" released Wednesday, around the 27:00 minute mark. (Jenner's late first husband Robert Kardashian, who fathered her four oldest children, was Armenian-American.)

"I'm very old-fashioned," she added.

Stewart then asked if Jenner's ideas about premarital conception had "evolved" over time and how Jenner felt about her daughters "going out and getting pregnant with men who are not their husbands." Jenner replied that she gets "more and more understanding" as she ages because she's been through "so many things" in her life.

"I embrace what is in front of me. And I think that I am easy once I understand it," she continued. "It's like with the girls — they could throw anything at me and I'm here for them. They know that. There's nothing that I would judge. Not at all. I mean, I just never would."

Five of Jenner's six kids — Kourtney Kardashian, 43, Kim Kardashian, 41, Khloé Kardashian, 38, Rob Kardashian, 35, and Kylie Jenner, 24 — have welcomed at least their first child without being married at the time.

Kourtney has three children with her former partner Scott Disick: Mason Dash, 12, Penelope Scotland, 9, and Reign Aston, 7. Khloé has a daughter named True, 4, with her ex-boyfriend Tristan Thompson. Kim gave birth to the first of her and Kanye West's four children, 9-year-old North, in 2013, a year before they got married. Kylie and her boyfriend Travis Scott have a daughter named Stormi, 4, and a 5-month-old son together.

And while Stewart did not ask how Jenner felt about her son having children out of wedlock, Rob also had his daughter Dream, 5, with his ex-fianceé Blac Chyna.

Jenner, 66, also noted that there's "such a big age difference" between her and her children, which could explain the difference in their attitudes.

While Jenner says she wouldn't judge today, in the 2011 episode of "Keeping Up With the Kardashians" called "Out of Wedlock," she strongly encouraged Kourtney to marry Disick before having a second child with him, repeatedly asking Kourtney about it throughout the episode.
