Caitlyn Jenner started dating Kris Jenner before her divorce from Robert Kardashian was finalized.

Caitlyn continued: "He was doing everything to kind of make her life miserable. I saw what was going on from the outside and just said, 'This is ridiculous.' So, I called Robert up and said, 'Hey, let's go to dinner.'"

During the docuseries, Caitlyn shared a conversation he had with the famous lawyer just days before he passed away.

"He was really hurting, and I said to him, 'Hey, remember if I was in your position, my only worry would be for my kids. That the kids are gonna get through this. I just want you to know that I will always be there for the kids,'" she recalled.

"And he says, 'Oh, you didn't have to say that. I knew you would.' And a week later he died," Caitlyn concluded.
