MONEYBAGS Kardashian momager Kris Jenner is saying “no” to tying the knot with her decades-younger — and poorer — beau Corey Gamble, according to pals who say the reality queen knows she’s too old for the hunk. The twice-divorced, 66-year-old mom of six has been locked in a steamy romance with the 41-year-old music manager for seven years, but she believes their 25-year age gap would doom a marriage, spies dish. “Kris is one smart cookie, and while she looks a decade younger than her age, she realizes the chances of making marriage work between people with such a huge age difference isn’t likely,” says a friend. “To begin with, Kris already has two failed marriages under her belt.” The first, to O.J. Simpson lawyer Robert Kardashian, dad of Kim,…
