Kris Jenner Says Caitlyn Jenner’s Transformation Was Scary

Kris Jenner and Caitlyn Jenner were together for about 25 years before calling quits in 2015. They agreed to move their different ways after Caitlyn came out as a transgender woman. In a recent interview, Kris reveals how shocked she was to know the news firsthand.

In a recent interview with Robin Roberts on Wednesday night, Kris was asked where she currently stands with Caitlyn. “We’re fine. Yeah, we’re friends,” Kris said. Momma Jenner then talked about how Caitlyn’s transformation was taken by the family.

Kris said Caitlyn’s coming out was a big shock for the whole family, even more so for her. She was afraid to face such an event without having any prior knowledge of how such a transformation feels. However, their breakup created a rift between the family and Caitlyn.

“I think it was a big shock. It’s a scary thing to go through because you know nothing about it. It’s a subject I never thought that I would ever have to directly deal with [or] confront [or] be understanding about. Something that I didn’t you know, understand.”

In The Secrets of My Life, Caitlyn said Kris knew more about her gender identity crisis than she claims she did. Both Kris and her daughters have been open about the fact that the book created bad energy in the family. However, Kris and the rest of the family appear to have mended their relationship with the former Olympian since then.

Previously, Kris confirmed that she and Caitlyn were “very respectful” with each other. She explained it’s mostly because “she’s the father of two of my kids, and so that speaks volumes.” During that interview, Kris also shared similar sentiments about navigating the split amid Caitlyn’s transition.

Now that it’s been years since the transformation happened, everything has cooled off. The relationship between Kris and Caitlyn might not be something to boast about, but it isn’t bad either. Both of them should be very proud that their kids have made such a big name for themselves.
