Kris Jenner is seen here breaking down in tears over ex-husband Bruce Jenner’s gender transition in a new clip from Keeping Up With The Kardashians.
In a conversation with daughter Kim Kardashian, the 59-year-old matriarch could be seen reacting to the news centred around her husband of 25 years.
A teary-eyed Kris opened up in an exclusive clip which aired on Monday morning's episode of NBC news and chat programme a newyork TV programme Today.

While sobbing the reality star said: 'I have these memories of this life and I feel sometimes that it didn't exist.'
It seems as if Kim was trying to help her mother understand the position former Olympic gold medallist, Bruce, has been put in as she was the first one to speak in the short video just before the tears begin to run down Kris's face.
The 34-year-old wife of Kanye West began: 'He has to deal with this for his entire life of waking up and feeling like "whoa this isn't my body, this doesn't feel comfortable." That's the only way I can kind of imagine it and you really have to like let go.'
It is an interesting time for footage of the conversation between Kris and Kim to be released as she has recently been receiving plenty of criticism for not having a statement during Bruce's groundbreaking 20/20 interview with Diane Sawyer aired a week and a half ago.
The momager blasted ABC News on the night it aired, April 24, for suggesting she had declined to comment on her ex-husband's decision to transition from male to female.
Kris, 59, claimed producers only contacted her office 'for fact checking,' but she felt she couldn't 'respond' because she hadn't seen the show, according to an article on Tuesday by People.com.
A statement issued on her behalf read: 'Kris does not have official representation but a message was left at her office and she was asked for fact checking. Kris said she was unable to respond because she had not seen the special. She did not say, ''No comment.'''
But ABC News insisted they reached out to Kris 'more than once.'
In a new statement, the network said: 'ABC News sent an email to her publicity team more than once. They called and said no comment.'
Kris, who has daughters Kendall Jenner, 19, and Kylie Jenner, 17, with the 65-year-old Olympian, was outraged when Diane claimed she had replied, 'no comment,' when asked about Bruce's decision.
Diane relayed the non-reply after reading out supportive statements from his other ex-wives, Linda Thompson and Chrystie Crownover.
Kris quickly voiced her support on Twitter, writing: 'Not only was I able to call him my husband for 25 years and father of my children, I am now able to call him my hero.'
Kim's seemingly compassionate nature should come as no surprise as during the interview special, Bruce shared a touching story about how her rapper husband Kanye, 37, helped his wife reach understanding about her stepfather's gender identity.
'Kim told me a story. She goes, "You know what really turned me around on thinking about this?" I said, "What?" She goes, "Kanye." I went, "Oh, okay,"' Bruce said.
'[The 37-year-old rapper] says to Kim "Look, I can be married to the most beautiful woman in the world, and I am. I can have the most beautiful little daughter in the world, and I have that. But I'm nothing if I can't be me. If I can't be true to myself, they don't mean anything."'
