Kris Jenner and Bruce Jenner have split after 22 years of marriage, they announced via E! News.


"We are living separately and we are much happier this way," they said in a statement. "But we will always have much love and respect for each other. Even though we are separated, we will always remain best friends and, as always, our family will remain our number one priority."


Rumors of a split have been circling the pair for months, with the Kardashian matriarch's sister confirming the separation just last week.
