The truth is finally revealed about Kris Jenner’s feelings toward Bruce Jenner and his new closeness to her friend Ronda Kamihira. Reports that Bruce and Ronda were dating came out in October last year and Kris has mostly kept quiet about the issue except for the time when she vehemently denied being negatively affected by the news. In this week’s episode of “Keeping Up With the Kardashians,” the truth is revealed as Kourtney, Kim and Khloe react negatively to the news and Kris confronts Bruce with the help of Kim.

Soon after their divorce was finalised, both Kris and Bruce Jenner were spotted going out with other people. For Bruce Jenner, the dates were notable because he was seen on a few occasions with one of Kris Jenner’s closest friends, Ronda Kamihira. The first time the two of them were spotted out together was at an Elton John concert. While the tabloids were having a feast day, what happened within the family is revealed exclusively on “Keeping Up With the Kardashians.”

Now that Bruce is living in Malibu, he doesn’t see the Kardashian and Jenner kids so often. When Kourtney comes to visit, she overhears Bruce on the phone with Ronda. She gets suspicious about their conversation and shares the information to Kim and Khloe. Both of her sisters agree that something shady is going on and that Bruce should at least inform Kris if there is something going on between him and her friend.

Kourtney casually mentions the call to Kris and she gets visibly upset. She says that even though they are divorced, dating one of her friends in secret is very hurtful. Both Kim and Khloe are also frustrated about the situation and things get worse when Khloe discovers some photos online. The paparazzi have snapped up photos of Bruce and Ronda at an Elton John concert. Before things got out of hand, Kim agrees to have a talk with Bruce about it. She meets up with Bruce and confronts him. Although Bruce insists that he and Ronda are just friends, Kim tells him that what he is doing is disrespectful. She also reveals how upset Kris really is about the whole thing. She even went as far as to say that Kris has been crying about the issue. Kim insists that Kris deserves a phone call at the very least.

Bruce decides to follow Kim’s advise and comes over to talk to Kris. When they face each other, Bruce tells Kris that he has a right to choose his friends. He denies that they are actually dating and says that he should be able to be friends with whoever he chooses. He also says that it is not his fault if his choice of friends is a problem for Kris. This statement prompts Kris to call him an "a--hole." She says that he can have his friend but she expects a more open line of communication and for more respect and consideration in the future. Bruce apologises but both remain upset. In the end, Kim declares that even she can’t handle Bruce and she can’t believe what he’s doing. The divorce is set to cause more family drama and friction when “Keeping Up With the Kardashians” continues next Sunday at 9 pm on E.
