A devastating tragedy occurred for Kardashian fans worldwide on Oct. 8.

Bruce and Kris Jenner have split up after 22 years of marriage. Kardashian fans were taken aback by the sudden news, many believing it all to be just a cruel rumor. However, many sources, including E! News, have validated the truth of their divorce.

Though it was certainly a surprise, looking back one can tell that the relationship has been on the rocks for quite a while now. In a previous season of their hit show, Kris Jenner had seen her former lover, Todd Waterman. She seemed to only have met up with him to cause drama and make her husband jealous.

The Olympian never had much say in their relationship, what with not having much space to himself or the ability to create his own putting green due to his wife’s restrictions.

Kris also had considered dropping her last name from Jenner and switching it back to Kardashian for publicity and business reasons. Does work come before family and love in the Kardashian clan? Sometimes it appears so, but that may be the power Hollywood and fame can have over people.

” I never saw [the split] coming because they’re such a close family,” said freshman Rachelle Serafini.

It is not to say that the diva is the only one at fault here. Bruce, too, has had his share of betrayals. The show revealed how jealous Kris was when he began playing golf with actress and model Angie Everhart. Ultimately, if we look back and piece all these clues together, we can see that the Jenner relationship was heading for an inevitable end.

So what does this mean for “Keeping up with the Kardashians?” An article from mirror.uk has revealed that Jenner said, “Family will remain our number one priority.”

Of course Bruce will continue making appearances on the show. However, Kris Jenner plans to claim 15 percent of his earnings from the show.

At least there is a bright side- the news of Kim and Kanye’s engagement has definitely been uplifting for us Kardashian fans.
