Kris Jenner has been putting on a pretty strong face as she continues to mend her relationship with her ex Caitlyn Jenner. But the momager’s sister Karen Houghton has revealed the true heartbreak Kris is continuing to struggle with as she comes to terms with Caitlyn’s transition!
Speaking to Britain’s Heat magazine, Houghton said that her sister is having a tough time processing her emotions when it comes to her relationship with Caitlyn. "Of course we all love Caitlyn but I felt so bad for Kris, she was so hurt and is still coming to terms with it," Houghton said. She also added that her “sister is a genius at marketing so she's very good at hiding her feelings.”
"Kris and Bruce had the happiest marriage. Kris doesn't talk about it much because she finds it embarrassing – I think she's hurt more than anything," Houghton said.
Hougton added that Kris is trying to stay positive when it comes to addressing Caitlyn publicly since she doesn’t want to reveal her pain to the world. "Kris doesn't want the world to think her life is falling apart," her sister said. "She talked to our mom about it a lot. I just ask her if she's OK. I don't want to upset her. I pray for her because it's hard."

Caitlyn is now being referred to by her female name and pronouns. However, Houghton said she refuses to stop calling Caitlyn by the name Bruce. "To me he'll always be Bruce, even his voice is still Bruce," she said. "We spent every Christmas, Easter and birthday with him and the family. He helped raise my daughter. He is a great man."
Along with Kris, Houghton said Caitlyn and Kris’ daughter Kendall Jenner is also having a hard time with the transition, saying that she doesn’t “think Kendall's used to it yet but she's the strongest. She's doing so well in her career. I think she's managing to cope the best.”
Caitlyn and Kris were reportedly wrapped in a nasty feud following Caityn’s big debut earlier this summer. The drama has reportedly cooled down between the exes. And even Houghton remained hopeful when speaking of the future of Kris’ relationship with Caitlyn. "We love Bruce so much. He did a very brave thing. If it makes him happy, then it's good,” she said. "It hasn't been fun for Kris. The whole world has seen this played out, but I think her and Caitlyn will end up as friends." Do you think Kris and Caitlyn will eventually be friends again?
