Kim Kardashian Divorce: Bruce Jenner Had Doubts About Stepdaughter's Marriage

First Posted: 02/14/2012 4:46 pm Updated: 02/15/2012 1:51 am

Kris and Bruce Jenner stopped by "The Ellen DeGeneres Show" on Tuesday to talk parenting and Kris' new book -- but the talk inevitably turned to daughter Kim Kardashian's divorce from Kris Humphries.

"Looking back, did you know that it wouldn't work with Kris?" DeGeneres asked Bruce Jenner.

"I had my questions," he admitted. "I remember when Kris came to me -- we were playing golf -- and he asked 'Is it okay if I ask for her hand in marriage?' In the back of my head, I said, I dont know if she's going to say yes, but it's not my decision, so go for it."

Though Kardashian did said "yes", the reality star ultimately filed for divorce in October 2011, just 72 days after her estimated $10 million dollar wedding.

For her part, "momager" Kris Jenner told DeGeneres that she doesn't question most of her children's decisions. "We obviously have internal conversations, like, 'What the hell are you doing?'" she joked.

But Bruce, who is reportedly always kept out of the loop -- he found out about Khloe Kardashian's September 2009 engagement to Lamar Odom over the radio and "was the last to know" about Kim's split from Humphries -- had a different opinion.

"Maybe we should start questioning some of their decisions," he suggested.

So what will happen the next time Kardashian brings home a suitor to meet the family? "The next guy's gotta go through me," Bruce said.

The only question Bruce had about that marriage was, "How much money can we make out of this deal?"

Have you seen Bruce?

This could be worse than her choosing for herself.

What a train wreck this is....

I don't think his first queston was, "hmm will this relationship work" but rather, "how much money could we make off of this?"

I'm kind of disapointed in Ellen...helping them massage their image, giving a pliant outlet for their silly lies & PR.

And anyone who believes that Bruce is "tough" has lost touch with reality.

Bruce tried to raise his eyebrows when Kris asked him for Kim's hand but realized they are already as high as they can go. Any higher and they'd collide with his hairline.

Why does huffpost keep posting articles about this family, especially on its front page? I thought this was a reputable site.

I have questions about Bruce Jenner's face.  Question #1:  "What happened to it?"

Does anybody even know anybody who would want to read Kris' new book?
10:45 AM on 02/15/2012
Questions, Bruce? Well, the article fails at sharing what they may have been, but apparently you didn't share your concern with your wife of Kim. It seems you chose play along with the charade so the family could bank some bank - and to showcase what horrible plastic surgeons you have.

Whatever, Bruce. You are poor excuse for men. Like Scott said to be a part of the Kardashain family then you must hang your sack at the door.

Actually, I believe to be "part of the Kardashian family" one must have NO SACK to hang and that's why Kris Humphries couldn't make it... unlike Bruce, Scott, Lamar and Rob, Kris has something to hang!

Kim is a little hoe. You all know this was only for TV. Reggie Bush you don't want to be a joke, everybody had been there.
