Bruce Jenner, Kris Jenner's estranged husband, was conspicuously missing from the grand Christmas Eve bash in her mansion at Hidden Hills sparking rumors yet again of an impending divorce . Or at least that's what the Instagram photos of the Kardashian-Jenner revealed.

Kris posed with friends and even the baby of a friend in a sheer red dress but there's no Bruce in sight. The momager also posted on her Instagram account a photo of her and her mother Mary Jo Shannon enjoying the photo booth.

Nor was Bruce Jenner seen in photos posted by his daughters Kendall and Kylie, who were seen posing with friends and family members; Kendall had her photo snapped with half-sister, Khloe Kardashian, while Kylie posed with her maternal grandmother.

Also absent was Kris Jenner's reported boy toy, " The Bachelor" alum Ben Flajnik. Both Kendall and Kylie reportedly frown upon their mother's closeness with the man who is half her age.

Ben was spotted on Monday with a young brunette in San Francisco, the Daily Mail reported.

Christmas Eve is almost a huge event in the Jenner-Kardashian household. The event, which is expected to be aired on the ninth season of the "Keeping Up With the Kardashians," was joined by family members Kim, Kourtney, Khloe, Robert, Kendall and Kylie, said Daily Mail.

A family insider claimed that also in attendance were Kim's partner Kanye West, Kourtney's partner Scott Disick, and also Matt Kemp, whom Khloe is reportedly seeing. It can be recalled that Khloe has recently filed for divorce against LA Clippers basketball star Lamar Odom over his cheating ways.

Bruce Jenner's absence from the Instagram photos was in direct contrast to the statements that the 58-year-old Kris Jenner made to People magazine last week.

"I get excited when he's (Bruce) coming over. We enjoy seeing each other more now," Kris was quoted saying.

The 58-year-old momager confessed to People magazine during the L.A.'s Mixology 101 on Tuesday for the anti-drinking and driving event.

"We're great. He's great and I'm great and we're such good friends. Sometimes people are just better apart and have better energy," she said.
