The Kardashians just served up a reunion that no one saw coming: Caitlyn Jenner and Kris Jenner in the same room again, and not just by accident. In the season seven premiere of "The Kardashians," out October 23 on Hulu, the Olympian and the world’s most famous “momager” shared an emotional onscreen moment that fans instantly zeroed in on.
The scene unfolds at Kris’s Hidden Hills estate, affectionately nicknamed “Eldorado Meadow.” It’s the same home where the family filmed countless episodes of "Keeping Up With the Kardashians," where birthdays, breakups, and bedtime chaos all happened on camera. Now, it’s the house Kris is saying goodbye to, and she couldn’t close that chapter without Caitlyn.

That simple decision felt like a soft reset for two people whose history has been anything but simple.
From Reality TV Royalty to Real-Life Distance
Caitlyn, 75, and Kris, 69, were once the cornerstone of the Kardashian-Jenner empire. Married for nearly 24 years, they raised Kendall and Kylie together and helped shape the public image of Kourtney, Kim, Khloé, and Rob. But after they split in 2013, things got complicated.

No one captured the emotional reality better than their daughters. In a confessional, Kylie Jenner said, “I don’t know if my parents will ever be best friends again, but this is definitely a great first step.”

A Quiet Truce in a Loud World
Kris and Caitlyn’s interaction wasn’t some flashy reconciliation or dramatic reality-TV stunt. There were no speeches or staged apologies. What viewers saw in that farewell scene wasn’t a full reunion, but a nod to shared history, to respect, to the idea that closure doesn’t always come with grand gestures.
