NEW YORK (AP) – Recently Kim Kardashian West sent her stepfather Bruce Jenner a text because of something she read online.
“I text(ed) Bruce, ‘I saw on TMZ that you got pulled over. Are you OK?’ ” she recalled during a recent interview with The Association Press.
Keeping tabs on one another through blogs and headlines has become normal for a family that’s anything but, a mom, stepdad, five daughters, one son, step siblings, assorted spouses, ex-spouses, boyfriends, girlfriends and grandchildren who have become a prominent part of U.S. pop culture since they began putting their lives on display for TV cameras in 2007.
“Sometimes you do have to keep up with each other through what we see,” Kardashian West said of, well, keeping up with the Kardashians.
She’s quick to add not everything out there is accurate, so they often check in with each other to find out what’s true and what’s not in the near-constant stream of rumors in celebrity magazines and blogs.
