5 Hints That Kris and Bruce Jenner Would Split

Oct. 9, 2013 -- intro: Bruce and Kris Jenner announced Tuesday night that they'd separated after 22 years of marriage. "We are living separately and we are much happier this way," the couple of more than two decades told E! News in a statement. "But we will always have much love and respect for each other. Even though we are separated, we will always remain best friends, and as always, our family will remain our No. 1 priority."

For fans of the famous couple (and their reality series, "Keeping Up With the Kardashians"), the separation wasn't so surprising. Here are a few reasons why.
