Keeping Up With The Kardashians Season 9 just aired, and it's full of heartbreak. The two-part first episode showed TV's favorite family dealing with a whole lot of issues.
Khloe Kardashian, who filed for divorce from her husband - NBA player Lamar Odom - last December, was shown breaking down a lot on the show. All the rumors from the past months are now falling into place, as she reveals the story behind the split. She was first seen trying to hide from the paparazzi while out with her sister, Kourtney Kardashian. Khloe tearfully told Kourtney, "I have been putting myself aside to hopefully save somebody's life, and now that I have come to terms that I can't, I have to move on with my life and that means like changing a lot. I haven't even had a week off, I need to get my life in order, but I love to work as it distracts me, but I go home and I'm a shattered person."
She also told her sister, "I've been putting myself aside to hopefully save somebody else's life. And now that I've come to terms that I can't, I have to move on with my life and that means changing a lot."
She was also seen talking to her brother, Rob Kardashian who said he hasn't heard from Odom, who he is very close to. Khloe told him that Lamar has been staying in their about how Lamar uses prepaid phones but only uses them for an hour and then disposes them. Rob then became concerned and told her that Lamar definitely needs to move out.
The Khloe-Lamar split wasn't the only one bringing on the tears in this KUWTK episode however. Bruce and Kris Jenner were also shown actually splitting up after 22 years of marriage, and telling the rest of the family about it.
The former Olympian was first seen telling his wife, "We both just seem to be doing better with our space. I'm not looking to get divorced or anything, but having our space is kinda nice."
"It seems to me we're doing better being apart, and just seeing each other here and there. To be honest with you, I can't see it going back," he added, referring to how he has been renting a Malibu beach house for a while, away from Kris and kids.
Kris simply agreed by saying, "I think we just both need to be happy... life is so short."
The couple then told their kids, who had mixed reactions. Kylie told her father, "'If you are happier for yourself here then you should be here." Kendall, on the other hand, was angry, telling her parents, "'I don't want to live like I have divorced parents." She asked her parents why they're not getting a divorce, and then cried in Khloe's arms, worrying that she and Kendall won't be sisters with the older Kardashian women anymore.
If the first episode is any indication, it seems Keeping Up With The Kardashians Season 9 will be an emotional rollercoaster ride. The reality family will be playing out their issues and the world will be watching.
