"We are much happier this way" -Kris and Bruce Jenner Real Story Behind Their Separation after 22 years of Marriage + Khloe & Lamar Back Together Photos

According to E! News, the Kardashian matriarch Kris Jenner has separated from her husband of 22 years, Bruce Jenner. They've been living apart for a while but officially announced their separation yesterday. Eonline.com reports...

 "We are living separately and we are much happier this way," the pair exclusively tell E! News. "But we will always have much love and respect for each other. Even though we are separated, we will always remain best friends and, as always, our family will remain our number one priority."

According to TMZ report, Bruce told people at an event over the weekend: "I'm finally free to do what I want and live life the way I want." 

One of the family source said: 

"Kris is on a freight train and Bruce finally wanted off."We're told Kris wasn't the one who wanted Bruce to move out, because it wasn't good for the show or the Kardashian brand.  It was Bruce who just got sick of it.  It wasn't that he was bossed around or got into big fights with Kris -- it's just that he wasn't happy around her.

Bruce Jenner is a simple man who likes simple things, and Kris is the exact opposite, which is why, according to another connected family source, Bruce finally said, "F**k this s**t" and he moved to Malibu.

Meanwhile, Lamar Odom and Khloe Kardashian finally came back together in public, for the first time in months, and all it took for them to reunite was Kris Jenner & Bruce getting separated.

Khloe and Lamar were photographed driving together right around the time news broke about Kris and Bruce Jenner's split yesterdsy.

Nothing too warm and fuzzy about the look on their faces in the SUV but it is the first time Khloeand Lamar did anything together, besides discussing his drug addiction.

Despite the fact they appear to be rallying for Kris, TMZ reports Khloe and Lamar's marriage is still much closer to being over than reconciled.
