While the relationship with her ex-wife Kris Jenner has changed over the years, Caitlyn still maintains close ties with her daughters, Kylie and Kendall. She admitted that, due to the size of her family, she is naturally closer to some children than others, but her affection for her daughters remains strong.

There was an immediate connection between them, which led to their swift marriage just five and a half months later. This early connection, despite Caitlyn’s internal struggles, set the stage for their years together, raising their children and navigating the highs and lows of fame and business.
Their time together wasn’t without its challenges, and Caitlyn acknowledged that the public nature of her transition introduced a difficult period in their relationship. However, she expressed that the changes were ultimately a part of their journey, even if it meant growing apart.
