While Bruce and Kris Jenner are adjusting to separation after 22 years of marriage, two people couldn’t be happier about their split.

Bruce’s sons Brody, 30 and 32-year-old Brandon reportedly blame Kris for their years of estrangement from their dad and are thrilled his marriage to Kris is over so they can reconnect, according to TMZ.

Bruce married Kris in 1991 following his divorce from Brody and Brandon’s mother Linda Thompson and had little to do with the boys, who were raised by their mother and her now ex-husband David Foster.

While their relationship has improved in recent years, with Bruce’s sons even appearing in the latest season of Bruce and Kris’ reality TV show Keeping Up With The Kardashians, they still harbour ill will towards Kris as they believe she encouraged Bruce to cut ties with them.

They also blame their stepmother for Bruce not paying child support for 10 years.

However, Bruce has moved out of his marital home and is living near his sons in Malibu and the trio have been doing their best to reconnect and have ‘an adult relationship’.

Brody opened up about his pain on a past episode of Keeping Up With The Kardashians, where he called out Bruce for being an absentee father.

‘I think Bruce is an incredible human being and I think that Bruce is a great father, he just wasn't a great father to me,' Brody said.

Meanwhile, it has been claimed that Bruce’s friendship with Brody and Brandon’s mother rocked the couple’s marriage.

According to the reports Bruce and Linda, both 63 have been spending a lot more time with each other in recent months.

‘Bruce has been spending a lot of time with Linda and the boys in Malibu over the last few months,’ a source told Radar Online .

‘Linda has lived in Malibu for decades and leads a very normal life, away from the spotlight — the opposite of the Kardashians and Jenners.’

The insider claims that Kris, 57, is ‘insanely jealous’ of her estranged husband’s ex and allegedly didn’t want them spending much time together.

Linda has always wanted to be friends with Bruce, but Kris wouldn’t allow it,’ the source claimed. ‘She would give him so much grief about spending time away from their daughters, Kendall and Kylie. Bruce felt guilty and just didn’t pursue it.

‘He wishes he could have done things differently, but he can’t change it now. Bruce knows that all he can do moving forward is be there for his sons, now.’

Brandon and Brody are apparently ‘happy to finally be able to spend time with their parents together, after all of these years’.

While the former couple’s friendship appears to be blossoming, they are not on the way to rekindling their relationship, according to the report, but Kris allegedly is still not happy.

‘It’s not sitting well with Kris that Bruce has been spending time with Linda. There is nothing romantic going on between the two at this time.

‘However, Bruce has always had a special place in his heart for Linda and admires what an amazing mother she is to their sons.’

Hey, Bruce - you need to some facial hair to alleviate your now-feminine looking face as a result of having too much work done. I bet you'd still be a good-looking man if you had just aged naturally. But congratulations on getting rid of that desperate-to-be-a-celebrity wife! What a loser she is.

Botoxed to the hilt. And the all the women are too.

Linda, Bruce and Kris could bond on their bad plastic surgery - Bruce needs to own up to his failings (he was the earner when the child support wasn't paid) and they need to live a private life and pull the daughters away from the momager.

You almost wonder if Kris encouraged him to have surgery to look less attractive! One way make her feel less threatened...he was much more handsome then she was pretty; however, no excuse for a deadbeat dad!

DM said they seprated a year ago, so they were thrilled a year ago? Or they also got to know the news just now, even being his kids? And I thought the Jenners were also in the tv show. So they werevalso pretending their father was still married?
