It’s not often one feels bad for Kris Jenner.

The notoriously money-hungry momager is usually thought of as a ruthless business woman who would sell her soul to make a buck off promoting her family’s obnoxiously extravagant lifestyles, and a lot of people kind of hate her for it.

However, in a clip for I Am Cait, my heart sank a little for Kris, who seems to realize that her marriage to Bruce Jenner (now Caitlyn) may have never been real.

In the video, Kris and Caitlyn begin discussing Bruce’s old wardrobe that was ultimately thrown out.

“I was so sad because I thought, I spent 23 years building this fabulous wardrobe,” she said, jokingly. “Who knew I was buying the wrong sh*t?!”

But it wasn’t the discarded Armani that caused the lump in Kris’ throat.

Caitlyn reveals that she got a new driver’s license with her new name, Caitlyn Marie Jenner (Marie!) and it identifies her as a female.

"Wow," responds Kris. "I didn’t know they could do that."

In fact, Cait says, “You can go all the way back to your birth certificate and change that… and I did.”

"You changed your birth certificate?" Kris says, calmly, yet clearly in shock. “That’s kinda sad, though.”

You can see the wheels turning in Kris’ head as she maintains her composure, but the melancholy in her face is unmistakable.

“Wait a second. Does this mean that he didn’t exist, if you changed the birth certificate?" she asks.

"Wait, was I ever married? Was I legally married?”

Good question. One that Caitlyn doesn’t seem to have the answer to.

As Caitlyn discusses her journey of transition, which includes altering her past identity, she fails to consider her ex-wife’s feelings.

Kris spent 22 years married to Bruce, but is now facing the question of whether any of it was real – or even legal.
