Kylie previously spoke to PEOPLE about her husband’s new role, saying she was “excited to see Jason excel in a new capacity.”
“I sometimes joke that he’s good at everything, and I know I’m biased, but I truly believe he’s good at everything. Because even if he’s not good or the best right away, he’ll work tirelessly and relentlessly until he is,” she continued.
‘I therefore have every confidence that he will fulfil his new role with verve and excel in it.’
