In a candid interview with This Morning, Caitlyn Jenner opened up about her evolving relationships within the Kardashian-Jenner family, particularly with her ex-wife, Kris Jenner, and their daughters, Kylie and Kendall Jenner. Caitlyn shared insights into the changes in her family dynamics, especially since her transition and the couple’s divorce.
Close Bonds with Daughters Kylie and Kendall
Despite the complexities in her relationship with Kris, Caitlyn emphasized that she maintains a close and positive relationship with her daughters, Kylie and Kendall. The bond between them is strong, with Caitlyn expressing her pride in her children. However, she acknowledged that the dynamics within the family have shifted over time, with some relationships being closer than others due to the sheer size of their family.
The Impact of Divorce and Transition on Caitlyn’s Relationship with Kris
Caitlyn and Kris’s marriage lasted 24 years before their divorce in 2015. Following their separation, Caitlyn’s public coming out as transgender marked a significant change in her personal life, which inevitably affected her relationship with Kris. Caitlyn described their current relationship as “very sad,” noting the emotional distance that has grown between them over time. Once characterized by direct communication, their interactions have now become mediated through their managers, reflecting the complexity of maintaining relationships after such a transformative period in Caitlyn’s life.
Recalling the Early Days of Her Relationship with Kris
During the interview, Caitlyn reminisced about how she met Kris on a blind date, recalling that their connection was immediate and strong. This meeting came at a pivotal time for Caitlyn, who was navigating her personal struggles while approaching her 40th birthday. Despite the challenges she faced in her own identity, Caitlyn and Kris quickly developed a deep bond, leading to a marriage just five and a half months after their first meeting. Together, they not only built a family but also a business empire that has since become a cultural phenomenon.
Upcoming Documentary “House of Kardashian” Offers an Insider’s View
In addition to reflecting on her personal relationships, Caitlyn Jenner is preparing to launch a groundbreaking three-part documentary series titled House of Kardashian on October 8th. Unlike the family’s reality shows, this documentary offers Caitlyn’s unfiltered perspective on the Kardashian-Jenner family dynamics. The series promises to reveal personal struggles, scandals, and the business dealings that have shaped the family’s journey.
What makes this documentary unique is its lack of editorial control by the Kardashian family, allowing Caitlyn to share a different side of the story. Rather than focusing on the negative aspects often seen in the media, Caitlyn intends to highlight the resilience and achievements of her family, aiming to inspire viewers with their remarkable journey of overcoming adversity.
