If you're an avid reality tv fan, then you've likely already heard of Keeping Up With The Kardashians. The highly-popular show launched in 2007 and has since become a staple for what a highly successful reality series should look like. For much of their time on air, they have dominated both the media and the headlines, with each family member building solid career foundations. However, much of this is arguably down to Kris Jenner, who acts as the 'momanager' of the family.
The highly successful reality star and businesswoman now has a reported net worth of $170 million dollars, with an estimated salary of $40 million per year. Despite having achieved such great heights of success, Kris Jenner has certainly had her fair share of heartbreaks.
Kris And Caitlyn Jenner Were Married For 22 Years
Many long-time fans of Keeping Up With The Kardashians will know that Kris and Caitlyn had been together for a long time, and had even raised two children of their own together, Kylie and Kendall.
Unfortunately, their relationship eventually came to an end after 22 years of marriage. The news left many fans shocked. After all, the pair seemed so well-suited for one another on the show, despite their occasional disagreements.
A large portion of their divorce was captured on camera for fans to see. It was during this time in 2015 that Caitlyn also announced her transition to becoming a woman, and revealed that she was trans. The news came as a shock to both her family and the public.
However, it would prove to be more of a personal struggle for Caitlyn's family members, some of whom took the news harder than others. As well as having to deal with such large changes, they also had to deal with it in the public eye — which is not easy by any means.
After Caitlyn's transition was publicly announced, their family relations seemed to take a turn for the worst. Tensions began brewing between Kris and Caitlyn upon the release of the latter's memoir, where Kris felt as though she was painted in a bad light.
However, despite such tensions arising between the two, fans still think there is a part of Kris that misses her ex-husband.
Fans Think Kris Might Miss The Old Caitlyn
Due to the fact that much of their split was captured on camera, many fans began to pick up on clues left by Kris Jenner, suggesting that she might be missing Caitlyn more than she is letting on.
During a 2015 episode of Keeping Up With The Kardashians, Kris is seen breaking down in tears when she is sorting through Bruce's old clothes that her daughter brought to her.
In the scene, Kris becomes emotional, saying: "It smells like him. It makes me really sad."
Some fans have speculated that this display of emotion suggests that she is missing her ex-husband. This sentiment is further reinforced when she goes in for a hug with Kim, saying: "It's just crazy that he's gone."
Other hints that fans have picked on include other emotional scenes, which all show Kris getting upset if something reminds her of Bruce, almost indicating that she is grieving in some way.
Other scenes have shown the momanager in tears, explaining how she feels as though she had this former life that 'didn't exist' now, since Caitlyn had transitioned. She also seemed very reflective of her memories with her former husband.
Fans have speculated that Kris might be grieving, as she may feel as though she has lost someone in a sense. These speculations are rooted in the many observations they have made on the highly popular reality show.
Kris And Caitlyn's Relationship Appears To Be Strained
After navigating through a rollercoaster of emotions throughout the years, have Kris and Caitlyn finally managed to make amends in their relationship? Despite having time to reconcile, interviews have suggested that the two may still be quite distant from one another.
During an episode of Big Brother VIP, Caitlyn Jenner revealed that her relationship with Kris was 'not as good as it should be', suggesting there were still some unresolved tensions between the two. She suggested that this was due to some disagreements between the pair, however, she didn't dive into any further details.
However, in 2021, Caitlyn also revealed that she wished her current relationship with her ex Kris Jenner was 'closer', in a clip that was obtained by the Daily Mail. On Kris' side, she has labeled the relationship between the two as 'very respectful.'
While it is obvious that the pair are likely not as close as they formerly were, it seems as though there is still hope for an improvement between both parties.
