Kris Jenner is the matriarch of the Kardashian-Jenner clan and even though she's already filed for divorce from her husband of 23 years, Bruce Jenner, She still has his back when it comes to fighting off nasty rumours. In a recent interview, Kris finally addressed ongoing reports about her ex-husband's alleged transformation and plans for a sex change.

Bruce Jenner's name has been connected with reports on alleged plans for a sex change operation in the past several months. His long hair and controversial ponytail has also led to various reports suggesting that growing his hair is one of the steps that he's taking towards his transition into a woman. His recent divorce from his wife fuelled the reports even further.

Kris Jenner finally slammed all the reports and cleared his name. In an interview with the Today Show yesterday, Kris veered away from the topic at hand that was her new cook book in order to address the Bruce Jenner sex change issue.

"It's silly. They've been saying that since the '70s so you think he'd be cooked by now. ... They just keep regurgitating the same old stuff." said Kris. She also clarified as to why Bruce didn't seem to be mentioned in the book while other members of the family featured prominently. Kris explained that the book was written while they were getting a divorce. She said that she did it for her kids as well as her grandchildren. Despite his exclusion, Kris reiterated once again like she always has, that she and Bruce remain good friends.

Both Kris and Bruce have been seen with other people since their divorce was filed last September 22. Before then, they had already been living separately for almost a year. The most recent season of "Keeping Up With The Kardashians" showed the couple bickering with each other during a family vacation in Thailand where they stayed in separate rooms. However, during Kim Kardashian's wedding to Kanye West last May, Kris and Bruce showed a united front and Bruce even did his fatherly duties by walking Kim down the aisle.

The cook book "In The Kitchen With Kris: A Kollection of Kardashian-Jenner Family Favorites" officially comes out last Tuesday, October 21. It comes in both a hard cover and an e-book version.
