Caitlyn Jenner has recently shared a candid and emotional update about her life, offering rare insight into her evolving relationship with the Kardashian family and how things have changed since her public transition more than eight years ago. Speaking in connection with the Sky documentary House of Kardashian, the 73-year-old reflected on distance, growth, and the personal cost of living openly in the public eye.
According to Caitlyn, her connection with her former wife Kris Jenner and her stepdaughters Kim, Khloe, and Kourtney Kardashian has grown increasingly distant over time. She revealed that she has not spoken with Kim or Kris for quite a while, describing a clear separation from the Kardashian inner circle. While she did not frame this as a sudden break, she acknowledged that the relationship has quietly faded, shaped by years of change and differing paths.
The situation was reportedly made more complicated by Kris Jenner’s reaction to the teaser for the documentary, which is said to have caused tension. Although Caitlyn did not dwell on specifics, she suggested that the response reinforced the emotional distance that already existed. Still, she avoided blame, instead speaking with a tone of acceptance rather than bitterness.

Despite the current estrangement, Caitlyn looks back on her years filming Keeping Up With the Kardashians with genuine warmth. She described that period as one of the best chapters of her life, particularly because it allowed her to be present while Kendall and Kylie were growing up. Watching them mature on screen and behind the scenes remains a source of pride and fond memories for her, regardless of where their relationships stand today.
Caitlyn also reflected deeply on her personal journey since transitioning. She spoke about how liberating it has been to finally live as her authentic self, after decades of internal struggle. In the early years following her transition, she admitted feeling pressure—both internal and external—to focus heavily on appearance. Over time, however, that focus shifted.
Now, Caitlyn says she values simplicity far more than perfection. She described her current mindset as one rooted in honesty and comfort, explaining that she no longer feels the need to prove anything to anyone. “I just wake up in the morning and be myself,” she shared, emphasizing how powerful and freeing that realization has been.
While discussing family, Caitlyn made a point to praise her children’s individual successes. She spoke admiringly of Kylie Jenner’s entrepreneurial drive and business instincts, acknowledging how impressive her achievements have been at such a young age. She also recognized Kim Kardashian’s accomplishments, particularly her work with SKIMS, noting the discipline and focus required to build something so influential.
At the same time, Caitlyn offered a grounded perspective on fame and fortune. Drawing from her own life experience, she explained that money and status do not automatically bring happiness. “I’ve had nothing and been happy; I’ve had money and it didn’t make me happier,” she said, underscoring the idea that fulfillment comes from within rather than external success.
Today, Caitlyn Jenner stands at a complex intersection of fame, family, and identity. Her journey has included triumph, loss, acceptance, and distance—all lived under intense public scrutiny. While her relationship with the Kardashian family may no longer be what it once was, Caitlyn continues forward with clarity about who she is and what truly matters to her.
Her story is not just about celebrity or conflict, but about resilience and self-understanding. Even amid strained relationships and public attention, Caitlyn remains focused on authenticity, personal peace, and moving forward with honesty.
