After Kylie Jenner Broke Up With Travis Scott, Her Grandma Revealed What Really Happened

Socialite Kylie Jenner and rapper Travis Scott were briefly one of the hottest A-list couples around. But after two years of making headlines across the world, the pair finally decided to go their separate ways. Why? Well, no one knows for sure – but rumors have continued to surface about the real reason behind the split. Then one family insider appeared to let the cat out of the bag: Kylie’s grandmother Esther.

Esther Jenner

If you’ve never heard of Esther Jenner before, that’s perhaps not too surprising. After all, Esther’s upbringing was poles apart from that of the world-famous family she would later become a part of. The nonagenarian was raised on a tiny farm by a family who grew their own vegetables and looked after chickens and cows. But her path changed in 1949, when she gave birth to then-Bruce Jenner in the New York village of Mount Kisco.

Winning Gold

Jenner would go on to become a household name in the United States after winning a gold medal at the 1976 Montreal Olympics. Sadly, though, the decathlon was closely followed by a family tragedy. Just three months after the Olympics, in fact, Burt Jenner – Esther’s second son with arborist husband William – lost his life in an automobile accident in Connecticut.

Keeping Up

Of course, the family would later enjoy a new lease of life in the 21st century as one of the stars of reality show Keeping Up with the Kardashians. Not that Esther can understand its appeal. In 2019 she even told MailOnline, “I wasn’t fond of that program. There was no plot, and why it was such a hit I’ll never know, and I guess it still is.”

Esther Keeps Up To Date

In the midst of Kardashian-mania, too, Esther watched her beloved son Bruce transition into a woman named Caitlyn. She coped with this radical change well, however, telling MailOnline, “It’s nothing [Caitlyn] asked for. It’s a condition, and it starts in the mother’s womb.”
