Brody Jenner is not the only member of Bruce Jenner's family, whom his wife Kris Jenner has had a troubled relationship with. During Sunday night's episode of Keeping Up With the Kardashians, Bruce revealed Kris has not had a relationship with his mother, Esther Jenner, during their 23-year marriage.

During episode 12, Bruce asked Kris to fly to Idaho with him to celebrate his mother's upcoming 87th birthday. She said it wasn't a good idea because his mother didn't care for her. (It was revealed during the show that Kris has only seen Bruce's mother four times during their marriage.) Bruce explained he wanted to make his mother's birthday special because she was recently widowed-- her third husband, Frank, recently died at age 95.

Bruce explained it was a good time for Kris and his mother to fix their strained relationship.

"You've had no relationship with her for the last 15, 18 years," Bruce told Kris.

"She has yelled at me - I stay away from people like that," she fired back.

Later, Bruce said he arranged for his mother to fly to California. Kris snubbed the idea and said she had to check her schedule.

After Bruce picked up his mother from the airport, he defended his wife in the car ride to his Calabasas home.

"Kris has always felt distant from you," he told Esther in a bid to get her to open up to Kris during her visit.

"I know, I can feel it," Esther admitted.

Bruce asked his mother to be nice to Kris. "Tell her, 'I love you,'" he suggested. Esther replied, "All of a sudden, my mouth is so dry."

After Esther's birthday party, she revealed that she had not been in touch with the Kardashian and Jenner children and wished she could have a relationship with her grandchildren. After the festivities, Bruce arranged for him, Kris and his mother to have a private meeting to discuss their 20-plus year feud. Esther apologized for not establishing a relationship with her daughter-in-law.

"We haven't been too close in any way. I'm so sorry for that," Bruce's mom Esther said.

"It was very complicated I think," Kris countered, adding, "Just a lot of personalities in the mix and stuff going on."

"I have felt like I should stay away, stay out of the picture, and I have but it's not right" Esther confessed.

Esther said she was happy for her son's marriage to Kris, adding although it was his third, it was "the longest marriage he has had."

"You've been good for him and I think he's been good for you," Esther added.

Kris later said in her on-camera confessional that she was happy to work things out and get an apology from Esther.

"Wow, I've waited 23 years for this. Better late than never!" Kris shared.
