Kathie Lee Gifford claims "Keeping Up With Kardashians" tore Kris Jenner and Bruce Jenner apart. Gifford, who is a close family friend, admitted on the "Today" show that she knew about the separation for a long time and blames the reality show for driving them apart.  

"I think they've just been under such unbelievable pressure, but there's just so many things going on," she said. "The last time I was at Kris' house, if you walked through, in every different room of the house, somebody was meeting with someone about a new deal.

"If it's always about the deals, and you can't find your husband in your house or your wife in your house, or your kids, because there's so much going on, it's just gotten out of control," she continued.

The Kardashian family has been appearing on TV screens for eight seasons and are currently filming season nine. Add in the constant media attention and spotlight and it sounds like a recipe for disaster. According to reports the current season will focus on Kris and Bruce's separation as well as the drama surrounding Khloe Kardashian and her marriage to Lamar Odom.

"When you shine such a spotlight on someone's life, and your life becomes 'now we're in season eight, now we're in season nine,' and that's how you're viewing your life you wonder what part of your life is just yours to live," Hoda Kotb added.

It had been speculated for months that Kris' marriage was on the rocks but the official announcement still left some people surprised. Despite the marriage ending Kris told E! News in a statement that she and Bruce are still going to remain friends and there is no bad blood between them.

Gifford revealed that she knew about the split for a "long, long time" joking that she can definitely keep a secret. She did say that when she visited the matriarch following the split the there was no animosity between them.

"Every time I've been out there and seen her, I saw him as well," she said. "When I was with her and the phone rang, it was Bruce calling in. When I went out to do her talk show this past summer, that's when we had a chance to really talk about it."

The "Today" show host said she isn't worried about Kris and Bruce but wants to make sure her goddaughters are ok. Gifford said she is still hoping "that they're gonna be reconciled."
