'TV can be brutal - I wanted to tell the story in a very positive way'

KEEPING UP WITH CAITLYN

When Keeping Up With The Kardashians made its debut, Caitlyn – formerly Bruce – Jenner was the most famous member of her blended TV brood. Sixteen years on and billions of dollars later, the ex-Olympian is the first to admit that is no longer the case.

Dressed in a glamorous power suit, Caitlyn is camera-ready with a Kardashian-esque face of make-up and plenty of stories to tell about her influential family. The 73-year-old is revealing all about her daughters, stepchildren and ex-wife Kris Jenner in Sky’s documentary House Of Kardashian – a project the family refused to take part in. Caitlyn tells OK! that although she dishes secrets in the show, she also sticks up for her famous family.

“I’ve been around television a long time and I know the power of ‘the edit’. TV can be pretty brutal,” she says. “I knew the family was not doing it and I wanted to tell the story in a very positive way.

“We’ve got two ‘billionaires’ in the family with Kim and Kylie – and there’s probably one more on the way. That’s pretty amazing and I couldn’t be more proud of them!”

Caitlyn married divorcée Kris Jenner in 1991, gaining Kim, Kourtney, Khloé and Rob Kardashian as stepchildren before welcoming Kendall and Kylie into the world a few years later.

But since splitting from Kris in 2013 and coming out as a transgender woman shortly after, Caitlyn isn’t “involved with that side of the family” as much.
