Khloe Kardashian ‘hits back at Caitlyn Jenner’s claims they haven’t spoken in six years’
KHLOE Kardashian has hit back at Caitlyn Jenner's claims they haven't spoken in six years, sources have revealed.
The 70-year-old star made the shock revelation last week on I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here!, telling her campmates that step-daughter Khloe hadn't spoken to her since her transition.
Speaking at the time, Caitlyn shared: "The first was the kids, I started with Brandon my son and he said to me: 'Dad, I’ve always been so proud to be your son but I’ve never been more proud of you than right now.'
"I went through every kid and Khloe for some reason was p***ed off about something through this whole process, it’s been five or six years and I really haven’t talked to her since."
Appearing saddened by the soured relationship, the TV favourite added: "We were really close, I raised her since she was five years old, I really don’t know what her issues are."
But a source close to Khloe has insisted that this is not the case, telling that the 35-year-old beauty is "confused" by her former stepparent's claims.
They said: "Khloe is genuinely confused by Caitlyn's recent claim they haven't talked in 'five, six years' and their current relationship is sour."
The insider went on to add that the mother-of-one "refutes the notion on several fronts".
They pointed out that while Khloe missed Caitlyn's 70th birthday bash in October due to work, she sent her a huge bouquet of flowers to mark the occasion and even texted her on the day.
The star also publicly supported Caitlyn when she accepted her ESPY courage award in 2015, and the pair regularly enjoy family parties together, which have been documented on reality series Keeping Up With The Kardashians.
The source insisted that Khloe has always been "completely supportive" of Caitlyn's transition, and there was only tension when the former Olympian took shots at Khloe's mum Kris Jenner in her memoir - but claimed things have got better between them since.
This is something that Keeping Up With The Kardashians fans also pointed out following last week's I'm A Celeb, turning on Caitlyn for suggesting that it was because of her transition that Khloe had stopped talking to her.
Caitlyn married Kris in 1991, acting as step-parent to Khloe, Kim, Kourtney, and Rob Kardashian for over 20 years.

Caitlyn and Kris split in 2014, one year before she publicly came out as transgender, and Khloe has always been open about their difficult relationship since.
The star made no secret of her disdain for Caitlyn's treatment of Kim in her tell-all book, where she was accused of "publicly shaming" the famous family.
Khloe has not commented on Caitlyn's I'm A Celeb appearance, but her sister Kim and step-sister Kendall Jenner have both posted about the show on their social media pages, with Kendall throwing her support behind her dad.
