Eight years after their split,Caitlyn Jennersays she isn’t as close withKris Jenneras she’d like to be.
During Monday’s episode ofBig Brother VIP, the former Olympian, 72, opened up about where things stand between the exes.
After being asked if Kris, 66, has “misgivings” about her, Caitlyn replied, “I think that’s an understatement.”
“But yeah, I mean, our relationship is okay. But it’s not — I think it could be better, just because of the kids,” she continued. “That’s always the way when you have that. It’s all about how the mother and father get along together. Is it easy, is it good when they see each other? Is there any tension?”

Earlier this year, Kris describedher current relationship with Caitlynas “very respectful.”
“She’s the father of two of my kids, and so that speaks volumes,” she told editor Kristina O’Neill forWSJ. Magazine’s The One.
She also reflected on navigating the pair’s split amid Caitlyn’s transition, saying “none of us had been through anything like that before in a million years.”
“We didn’t know how to process that — and it was a process, it was a shock, and then it was a reality, and it was something that we had to absorb and try to wrap our heads around and learn about,” she continued. “What I thought was interesting about that was, I’m sure many people who are fans of our show weren’t expecting it either and were as confused at times and sad at times, happy at times, because there’s so many different ways of looking at it.”
