Former reality star Caitlyn Jenner tells OK! about her House of Kardashian documentary, her relationship with the famous family and Kylie's rumoured romance with Timothee Chalamet
When Keeping Up with the Kardashians made its debut, Caitlyn Jenner - formerly Bruce - was the most famous member of her blended TV brood. Sixteen years on and billions of dollars later, the ex-Olympian is the first to admit that is no longer the case.
Caitlyn married divorcee Kris Jenner in 1991, gaining Kim, Kourtney, Chloe and Rob Kardashian as step kids before welcoming Kendall and Kylie into the world a few years later. What’s the secret to Kim’s business success? It’s staying frugal, according to Caitlyn. “When she was 18, she wanted out to the house and I helped her move into an apartment. Every time we’d take a load up and head back down for another load, she’d turn off all the lights because she was paying for them. I was just dying laughing. She watches every dollar and it’s the same with all the rest of the kids. Every one of them has a tremendous work ethic.
“When Kendall was 15, I was car-pooling her to school and she goes, really quiet out of nowhere, ‘I’m going to be a Victoria’s Secret model someday.’ I say, ‘Yeah great!’ But I like when young people have a dream like that and they’re willing to work for it,” she says. “Three years later, she paid her own way to New York Fashion week and called me to say, ‘I got Marc Jacobs!’”
“All I can say is both Kendall and Kylie are extremely happy right now,” Caitlyn smiles. “As their dad, that makes me happy.”
