Kendall Jenner is opening up about her complicated — but loving — relationship with her dad, Caitlyn Jenner.
On the October 30 episode of The Kardashians, the 29-year-old supermodel was seen sitting next to her 76-year-old father at a family gathering, where the conversation turned to this year’s Los Angeles wildfires. Caitlyn insisted her Malibu home was safe and planned to stay outside with a hose instead of evacuating.
“I have to compartmentalize my relationship with my Dad in a way because I love her,” Kendall shared in a rare confessional interview. “She’s my dad. We have a good relationship. But sometimes I get frustrated with her with certain things because we just have completely different views on things.”
Despite their differences, Kendall emphasized how much she values having Caitlyn in her life. “Other than that, I always want to include her,” she said. “I know she doesn’t have a lot outside of her family and I think that she gets lonely. You don’t ever want someone to be sad, especially your dad and someone you love and care about.”
Caitlyn has long been an outspoken conservative and ran for Governor of California, losing the recall election in 2021. Kendall did not directly address her dad’s politics in the episode, but Caitlyn’s ex-wife Kris Jenner has previously called her out for publicly sharing her views.
“You’re not a politician, but you think you’re a politician sometimes,” Kris told Caitlyn on a 2016 episode of I Am Cait. “Sometimes, when you talk to somebody about your views, not everybody’s going to always agree. And sometimes, you can get a little cranky [about that].”
Caitlyn’s appearance on Thursday’s episode marks her first appearance on Hulu’s The Kardashians. While she was a regular on Keeping Up With the Kardashians, Caitlyn had not been featured on the new series until now.
The episode included a final family dinner at Kris’ Hidden Hills home, El Dorado Meadow, which Caitlyn once shared with Kris and which was prominently featured on Keeping Up With the Kardashians.
