The latest teaser for I Am Cait shows a very awkward first encounter for Caitlyn and Kris Jenner. Can we just say that the tension was so palpable, you could cut it with a knife.

The former husband and wife duo decided to meet up to work out their differences for the sake of their children Kendall, 20 and Kylie, 18.

When the 65-year-old announced her transition from Bruce to Caitlyn it caused plenty of tension between her and Kris. While the world was wowed by the Olympian’s debut on the cover of Vanity Fair, the accompanying interview saw the mumager’s name get dragged through the mud.

“Uh, I don’t know if we’ll resolve anything,” Caitlyn reveals to the cameras, before adding: “But I should probably get some things off my chest… and her, too.”

“You know, we did have a lot of great times,” Caitlyn explained, “we’ve both moved on, both of us, but I don’t want to throw all of the good times away. And so, for the kids, Kendall and Kylie, I don’t want tension. I don’t want to put them in a tough position. This is really very, very difficult.”

Serving up one of her most fierce looks, Caitlyn greeted Kris with a warm hello, but from then on, things get uncomfortable.

Despite the situation being clearly very uncomfortable Kris lightened the mood with a point of discussion she can most definitely relate to, “Oh my goodness! Look at you! Nice shoes!”

The Kardashian matriarch offered a box cookies to her former husband as they sat down, tucking into some fancy cheeses. It was clear they were unable to relax on the couch due to the elephant in the room.

We’ve been finding it difficult keeping up with the tension between the former flames.

The show released a promo last month, depicting the confrontation between the pair with Kris telling Caitlyn through tears, “You’re sensitive and amazing to all these new people in your life, but you’re not so sensitive and amazing to the family that you left behind.”

Understandably the mum-of-six is finding the situation challenging as she confessed her feelings that her role as Bruce Jenner’s wife was simply a distraction for the motivational-speaker despite Kris devoting her life to him.
