Kendall Jenner is in the middle of a career high with multiple appearances on the runway for New York and Milan Fashion week but the same could not be said about her family life. Her parents Bruce and Kris Jenner have filed for divorce this week. The young model posted a throwback photo of her parents during happier times on her Instagram account in a silent tribute to the marriage that brought her to life.

The photo was posted a day after news of divorce papers finally being filed by Kris surfaced in the media. It shows a much younger looking Bruce Jenner in a dapper tux with his hand held out to Kris Jenner's back. Kris looked much skinnier in a spaghetti strapped dress and her signature short hairstyle. Both were looking happily at the camera and Kendall captioned it simply with a heart.

Kendall's parents were married for 23 years before finally calling it quits but the separation was al long process and a lot of it was seen in episodes of the family's reality TV show "Keeping Up With the Kardashians." Last year, Bruce and Kris rented out a house on Malibu beach which they declared to be another family home and one where Bruce can find some peace and quiet and a place to escape from the chaos in the Jenner mansion in Calabasas, California.

It became evident however that Bruce is fully intending to move out and despite their attempts to ease the children into the change, Kendall and Kylie did not take it too well. Subsequent episodes showed the family's adjustments to the new living arrangements including one episode on season 9 entitled "Color Me Lonely" where Bruce had complained about not being able to see his children enough.

Kris Jenner made extra efforts to get Bruce more involved in her activities with Kylie which only led to more issues as Bruce felt that she was being controlling again. Various episodes from the series also showed how Kendall and the other Jenner children from Bruce's first marriage having a hard time making sure that they are all making time to get together as a family.

In the feature on the family's vacation to Thailand, Bruce and Kris openly talked about not sharing a room for the first time on a family vacation and they also showcased a lot of their bickering during the trip. The kids were visibly affected by their arguments and Kendall and Kylie even disappeared from the resort to prove a point that they have had enough of their parent's bickering.

In the official trailer for "Kourtney and Khloe Take The Hamptons," Kris Jenner was seen talking about getting a boyfriend and a clip was even shown where she was lying in bed with another man, presumably the family's in-house chef. Despite efforts to save the marriage the recent events documented in the series did not leave anybody surprised when the divorce reports came out.
