Kris and Caitlyn Jenner were married for 23 years and shared two children before splitting in 2013, and Caitlyn recently opened up about the current state of their relationship. The 72-year-old former Olympian is on this season of Big Brother VIP, and in an emotional conversation with the rest of the cast, she shared that the pair are on rocky ground.

“I would say from my standpoint, our relationship is not as good as it should be. I don’t have any hard feelings towards her. I wish it was closer, but it’s not,” she revealed to the house in an episode that aired last week.
Following this statement, another housemate asked Jenner if she had any “misgivings“ about her ex-wife, to which she responded, “I think that is an understatement.” Caitlyn then elaborated, “Our relationship is okay. I think it could be better just because of the kids. It’s always the way when you have that. It’s all about the mother and father, how they get along together. Is it easy? Is it good when they see each other? Is there any tension?”

The pair married in 1991 and went on to have two children, Kendall and Kylie Jenner, before officially divorcing in 2015. However, although their relationship isn’t as strong as Caitlyn might like, Kris has previously stated that she will always be there for her ex. “I just want her to be happy. So, I was really happy to offer some advice and encouragement over something that she’s trying to do,” Kris shared in a previous episode of Keeping Up with the Kardashians.
Caitlyn’s unsteady relationship with her family began back in 2017 after the release of her tell-all memoir, The Secrets Of My Life was released, and at the time the family asserted that there was little truth to the claims made in the book. However, things have improved since then, with the 72-year-old revealing earlier this year that she’s closest to Kylie in her family.
