According to sources, the couple claims to be much happier living separately, although according to the couple, they “will always have much love and respect for each other. Even though we are separated, we will always remain best friends and, as always, our family will remain our No. 1 priority.”
The separation of Bruce Jenner and Kris Jenner is nothing new to the Kardashian clan, Khloe Kardashian, Kris Jenner’s daughter from her first marriage, has also been struggling to keep her own four year marriage to Lamar Odom intact.
