The 68-year-old I Am Cait star revealed in the feature published on Tuesday, May 22, that although she has six biological children and helped raise four step-children with ex-wife Kris Jenner for more than 24 years, she’s often alone in her Malibu home with just her dog, Bertha.

“I spend a lot of time by myself here in the house. I have a lot of children, but sometimes just because of circumstances, maintaining a close relationship with your kids is very tough,” the former reality star said. “They all have lives. They’ve all moved on.”

She added: “We’re just human beings; we’re going to be here for a very short time. We come and we go and at the end, when it’s all said and done, hopefully your family is going to be there.”

Jenner — who revealed her identity as a transgender woman in April 2015 — also told the outlet her hope for the afterlife, which included a nod to her kids. “I hope when I get up there to the pearly gates, God looks down and says, ‘You did a good damn job, you won the Games, raised wonderful children, and you know, you made a difference in the world. Yeah, come on in.’ That’s the way I want to go.”

The Secrets of My Life author was vocal about her damaged relationship with Kim, Khloe, Kourtney and Rob Kardashian in a 2017 interview with Piers Morgan. “I’ve lost all relationship with them,” she said. “Yes, I don’t talk to any of them anymore.”

The Kardshian-Jenner clan has grown by many family members since the former athlete’s divorce from Kris Jenner in 2015.

Meanwhile, Kim Kardashian and Kanye West are now parents of three childrenNorth, 4, Saint, 2, and a 4-month-old baby girl, Chicago.
