14 DAY TRIAL // Kris Jenner has a new product to promote, her first-ever cookbook, so now is the perfect time to address all those rumors about her ex-husband Bruce Jenner, particularly the one about his transition from male to female and the one about dating Kris’ best friend of 20 years.
Kris and Bruce are in the middle of getting a divorce, having announced their separation in 2013, after 23 years of marriage. They insist the split is amicable and determined by their realization that they were no longer in love with each other.
Since the divorce announcement, there’s been a boost in speculation that Bruce was transitioning to female, speculation fueled mostly by his drastically changed physical appearance.
Kris laughs off all reports about her soon-to-be-ex-husband
At the same time as rumors about Bruce’s alleged transition picked up, another report started making the rounds: he had started dating one of Kris’ best friends of 20 years, former personal assistant Ronda Kamihira.
Kris felt betrayed by the new romance, which neither thought she should know about, and would often cry herself to sleep at night – or so insiders told the tabs.
As you can see in the videos below, both these reports amuse Kris terribly. She chatted with NBC’s The Today Show and Entertainment Tonight about them and much more, but embedded below are only the segments about Bruce.
If you watch both videos, you will also notice that Kris answers the questions using pretty much the same words. She insists these rumors about Bruce’s orientation have been around since the ‘70s, that there was never any truth to them, and that, usually, all reports about their family are bogus. Or, as she puts it, “wrong, false and made up.”
As for the new woman in Bruce’s life and the impact it has had on Kris, the reality TV matriarch says she has no idea who Bruce is dating but that, as far as she’s concerned, it could be any woman on the face of the planet. As long as he’s happy, she’s happy.
Bruce will always be the father of 2 of Kris’ children, and because of that, they will strive to remain friends. Other than that, Kris adds, she doesn’t like to meddle in his life, and he doesn’t inform her of his every movement.
Kris, the author
As noted above, the Bruce Jenner rumors are brought up because Kris is doing media rounds to announce the release of her cookbook, “In the Kitchen with Kris Jenner.” Though she’s never shown cooking on the family’s E! reality show, this is one of Kris’ biggest passions.
Just the other day, Kris was derided online for including a dedication to her late friend Nicole Brown, who was brutally murdered in 1994 along with friend Ronald Goldman. O.J. Simpson, Nicole’s husband and a good friend of Kris’ first husband, Robert Kardashian, was accused of the murder but eventually walked.
Kris thought it would be a lovely thing to do to include a dedication to Nicole on her nacho recipe, in which she praises her for making the best party nachos around. Critics saw in this another desperate attempt on Kris’ part to push her book by name dropping, and thus exploiting her dead friend.
