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.
“I just couldn’t really come here with my whole family,” Kris says tearfully on the show, “and say goodbye to this house and not invite the person who made all the memories with us for so many years.”
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.
By 2023, Caitlyn admitted that the pair no longer spoke. “Kris, I really never talk to anymore,” she shared on This Morning. “It’s sad.” That’s why seeing them in the same frame again—after years of silence—felt almost nostalgic.
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.”
Kendall echoed the sentiment in the season trailer: “I think my mom’s had a hard time inviting my dad to some of our family gatherings, but my dad should be included in things.”
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.
For fans, this could signal a slow thaw between the former couple. Whether that leads to more screen time together or simply more peace behind the scenes remains to be seen.
