‘Kardashians’ stars separated

October 09, 2013

Kris and Bruce Jenner have separated after 22 years of marriage.

The couple – who have two daughters, Kendall (17) and Kylie (16), together and four children each from previous relationships – have confirmed that they have decided to end their marriage, following months of speculation.

In a statement to E! News, the Keeping Up With the Kardashians stars said: "We are living separately and we are much happier this way. 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."

A source revealed that although the couple have been separated since June, they have no plans to file for divorce and will continue to co-parent their teenage daughters.

Bruce (63) recently moved out of the family home in Calabasas and into his own beach house in Malibu, and a source told gossip website TMZ that the former Olympic medallist feels liberated after a split.

The source claimed Bruce said: "I’m finally free to do what I want and live life the way I want."
