Kendall Jenner has revealed that her relationship with her father, Caitlyn Jenner, has encountered challenges due to their differing perspectives.

In the episode of The Kardashians that aired on Thursday, October 30, Kris Jenner invited Caitlyn, aged 76, for a visit to their former home before it went on the market.

“I called Caitlyn about an hour ago and asked, ‘What are you up to?’ Naturally, she replied, ‘Having dinner and watching Fox News,’” Kris, 69, shared with the cameras. “I responded, ‘Of course you are.’”

While Kris and Caitlyn’s daughters, Kendall, 29, and Kylie, 28, were pleased about their parents’ reunion, Kendall took this opportunity to inform viewers about her current relationship with her dad.

Over the years, Caitlyn Jenner’s interactions with the Kardashian family have experienced their fair share of highs and lows, a saga that has unfolded both in front of and away from the cameras. When the former Olympian married Kris Jenner in 1991, she became a stepmother to Kourtney, Kim, Khloé, and Rob Kardashian. The couple announced their separation in [year].

“I definitely wasn’t expecting my dad to be here just knowing the relationship my mom has with my dad. Not that it is bad, it is just distant,” Kendall shared.Kylie added, “I don’t know if my parents will ever be best friends again but this is definitely a great first step.”

In a confessional, Kendall elaborated on where she currently stands with Caitlyn, adding, “I have to compartmentalize my relationship with my dad in a way. Because I love her and she is my dad. We have a good relationship but sometimes I get frustrated with her with certain things.”

She continued: “We just have completely different views on things. But other than that, I always want to include her. I know she doesn’t have a lot outside of her family and I know she gets lonely.”

Thursday’s episode marked Caitlyn’s first appearance on the family reality show in years amid ups and downs with Kris and stepdaughters Khloé Kardashian, Kim Kardashian and Kourtney Kardashian. The former athlete became a parental figure to Kris’ children (including Rob Kardashian) when they began dating in the ’90s. After they got married, the then-couple expanded their family with Kendall and Kylie.

After two decades of marriage, Caitlyn and Kris announced their separation in 2013. Caitlyn publicly came out as transgender in 2015 — the same year that her divorce from Kris was finalized. Caitlyn’s bond with her stepchildren seemingly became contentious after the release of her tell-all book, The Secrets of My Life, in 2017.

Caitlyn’s conservative views and public comments about her family have continued to cause tension.

“This was my dad for 24 years and it hurts me too,” Khloé, 41, shared in a May 2024 episode of The Kardashians.

Kim, 45, meanwhile, didn’t appear as bothered by how her relationship with Caitlyn evolved.

“I got so many text messages saying, ‘Doesn’t that hurt your feelings what your stepdad says about you?’ It honestly doesn’t,” Kim told cameras. “I had such a great stepdad who raised me so none of those things that are said — even if twisted — are going to make me think differently of the life I had.”
