[edit] Second marriage
In 1991, Kris began a romance with Olympic gold medalist (decathlon) athlete and business figure Bruce Jenner. Bruce also gives motivating speech for a living. Bruce related[where?] that prior to proposing to Kris he approached Robert Kardashian and invited him to a dinner to discuss an amicable finalization of his divorce from Kris (to remain on amicable terms, as Bruce viewed the biological father as vital in the children's lives). Robert agreed and sometime later Bruce proposed to Kris. They married in 1991 and subsequently had two children, daughters Kendall Jenner (b. November 3, 1995) and Kylie Jenner(b. August 10, 1997).
