Sources tell Confidenti@l that Bruce Jenner (l.) and ex-wife Kris Jenner (r.) place of protection’t seen each other in “months” and rarely speak regularly.
Bruce Jenner has been completely abandoned by Kris Jenner, multiple sources tell Confidenti@l.
The Kardashian momager hasn’t seen her ex-husband of 23 years in “months,” our insider says, and chats with him only briefly on matters concerning their daughters Kendall and Kylie.
“They don’t even talk (regularly),” says our source. “She doesn’t have anything to do with him, really.”
Another source tells us Kris and Bruce’s “dynamic has certainly changed,” adding that Bruce hasn’t seen Kendall for a month, while she travels with her mom, modeling.
In addition to feeling shocked and betrayed by her Olympian ex’s transition into a woman, which he will address publicly in an exclusive interview soon with Diane Sawyer, Kris also wanted to distance herself from Bruce after his car crash on Feb. 7 that left a woman dead.
Kris “thinks the transition is Bruce’s business to deal with,” says our insider. “She doesn’t deal with his stuff.”
The Kardashian matriarch, who still runs Jenner Communications, has “went on,” says our source, and still can’t grasp how Bruce’s life changed. Bruce, who was reportedly in discussion to film an E! docuseries about his new life, is said to be unsure if he’ll continue with that plot.
“It’s not on hold; he just hasn’t chose,” says our second source.
Kris is also slowly moving away from handling Bruce’s business affairs, says our source, and will now focus solely on “the girls.” A rep for Kris did not respond when questioned is she’s still acting as Bruce’s administrator.
“She doesn’t talk about it [the transition]. She claims to support it, but she doesn’t know it,” says the source.
Never one to shy away from press — good or terrible — Kris is the one who put the kibosh on a plotted press tour to promote the upcoming season of “Keeping Up With the Kardashians,” because she doesn’t want to answer questions about her ex.
With the family now clearly divided, Bruce is facing his last season on the show, and has been excluded from the clan’s new $ 80 million contract with E! for another four seasons. He’s went deep into the mountains of Malibu, with his son Brandon and daughter-in-law Leah Felder his only regular visitors. Kendall is busy modeling around the world, while Kylie is focused on building her personal brand.
The last time Bruce saw the girls together was at Kourtney’s Calabasas home on Jan. 19, although Kris was not present. But don’t rule out her paying Bruce a very public visit — and setting up a photo op — the minute she reads this. After all, she is a master spin doctor.
