Is Jenner Split to take heat off Khloe Kardashian? Bruce and Kris Jenner have announced their separation but the timing seems awkward to fans and the media. Is the split announcement a manipulation for Mama Jenner to take heat off of her daughter Khloe Kardashin during her public marital issues?

Khloe Kardashian has been in the spotlight recently for her rocky relationship to Lamar Odom after the public learned of his cheating scandals and extensive drug use. So is the split announcement for Kris Jenner to protect her beloved daughter Khloe? Khloe Kardahsian stories have not been as popular in the news today so maybe the split announcement actually worked in getting the paparazzi away from Khloe.

The manipulation of the Jenner split may not stop there. While KUWTK ratings are at an all time low the news of teh split will definitely bring more viewers to E! Keeping Up With The Kardashians having viewers excited to watch their relationship unfold and have viewers watch Kris and Bruce Jenner pretend if their love is real on the show. The show is taped months before it airs so their split will be scrutinized when watching KUWTK.  I know I will be tuning in to the show to see how the couple behave with each other before the news of the seperations came out. 

Reportedly, the couple have ben separated for a while so why did they take this moment to announce their split? But would the Kardashians go that far to coordinate their announcement for ratins or for Khloe to get some peace ?

Kris and Bruce confirmed their long awaited split To E! News after 22 years of marriage. After constantly denying the divorce rumors, finally Kris and Bruce admit their living apart and the rumor mill can take a much needed Jenner break! Kris and Bruce will remain amicable and they say no divorce papers have been filed yet. Plus Bruce will continue to appear on the family's reality show.

Bruce and Kris Jenner broke the news exclusively to E! News saying, "We are living separately and we are much happier this way. 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."

Kris and Bruce denied it as long as them could, laughing at split rumors, but the pair have obviously not been looking like a happy couple for a while.

On their 22nd anniversary Kris Jenner wrote on Instagram on April 21, "Happy Anniversary Bruce!!!! Best 22 years I could ever have imagined...hope the next 22 is even more fabulous...I love you!"

But evidence has proved their split happened a while ago.

During a photo shoot for In Touch Magazine Kris Jenner realized that she was missing her wedding ring and flipped out on her crew for not reminding Kris to put her wedding ring back on. The façade of a healthy marriage between Kris and Bruce Jenner continued but less people were buyingit.

And a month ago, a source recently told OK! magazine "Kris and Bruce Jenner still love each other very much but sometimes Kris can just get a little too much to handle so Bruce distances himself. He is a relatively low-drama guy. Bruce just wants a place for some peace and quiet, it's all he really has ever wanted and hasn't had much of for the last few years. She and Bruce see each other at least once a week, on the weekend."

Bruce's son Brody Jenner has publicly announced he wants his dad to divorce Kris.

Brody 'wishes his dad would just divorce Kris. Bruce and Kris are leading separate lives and don't even share a bedroom together anymore,' an  insider said.

'He has been spending a lot of time at his Malibu rental without Kris. Brody wants to be closer to his dad, but it's very hard with Kris in the picture, because she always has to make everything about her,' the source added.

Brother Brandon said on KUWTK about their Greek vacation sleeping arrangements, 'I wonder if Dad and Kris are going to share a room. They don't share a room at home any more.'

'That sounds like a nightmare. Poor guy,' Brody replied.

And Bruce moved out of the Jenner/Kardashian mansion in Calabasas, California to a Malibu beach house in search of a "man cave" and time away from wife Kris months ago. 

According to The Daily Mail, Bruce pays over $14,000 a month for the Malibu home, which has four bedrooms and three bathrooms. His man cave also has direct access to a private beach.

The 62-year-old has also been spotted at his new bachelor pad teaching daughters Kylie and Kendall how to surf.

They beachhouse has soaring ceilings, large windows with beautiful beach views, and a cream and beige color scheme. Bruce prefers the plush home over his mansion with wife Kris.

Bruce moving out of the Calabasas mansion was a mutual agreement between him and wife Kris Jenner, who he has been married to for 22 years. On an episode of "Keeping Up With the Kardashians" that aired last month, Bruce and Kris got into an argument after Bruce and his friends made a lot of noise when Kris was trying to relax with her at-home massage.

SO even though we all had our suspicions, the jig is finally up. Are you glad they can stop pretending? Or do you think the whole split conformation was for publicity and to manipulate KUWTK ratings?
