After being at the center of tabloid rumors for months, Bruce and Kris Jenner have confirmed that they are separated.
The two, who are parents to Kendall and Kylie, confirmed it themselves to E! News. “We are living separately and we are much happier this way,” the two told the site.
“But we will always have much love and respect for each other,” they continued. “Even though we are separated, we will always remain best friends and, as always, our family will remain our number one priority.”
According to TMZ’s sources, Bruce is living in Malibu, where he is spending time with his sons Brody and Brandon from a previous marriage. Kris is living in Calabasas, where she works with her daughters.
It’s not known how this affects the future of the family’s hit E! reality series, Keeping Up With The Kardashians. They couple seemed happy in April, when they celebrated their 22nd wedding anniversary. “Happy Anniversary Bruce!!!! Best 22 years I could ever have imagined...hope the next 22 is even more fabulous...I love you,” Kris wrote on Instagram at the time.
“They're not having problems, but they still like to live apart,” Khloe Kardashian Odom told Jay Leno in June. She did say her mother’s relationship with Bruce was “definitely different. You know, Bruce and my mom, they wanted some... In my house there is a man room for Lamar. A room, not a different house. So I think they took my idea and ran with it. They got another house and Bruce stays there sometimes.”
