“We've done almost 500 episodes, and I'm thinking every year, ‘What else is there to tell?’ And they always find something,” the former Olympian admitted. “Some of the best conversations I've ever had with my kids happened on camera.”

It’s good she’s tuning into
KUWTK, because it’s how she’s keeping up with her famous kids these days. “My relationship is good with them,” Caitlyn said when asked about where she stands with her kids now. “I mean, everybody's so busy. Of course, you wanna be with everyone every day because that's what you did your entire life, but
Kylie's busy,
Kendall's running all over the world, this and that.”

“Same with the Jenner side,” she said, before correcting herself. “Actually, lately, I've probably been a lot closer to the Jenner side — my son,
Brandon.
Brody, somewhat.
Burt, all those kids. My daughter,
Casey, we've actually been really very good over the last year.”

That hasn’t always been the case. Brody in particular has been estranged from the most famous members of his family. Brandon, meanwhile, recently announced that
he’s divorcing wife Leah.

Caitlyn still had praise for Kim. “She has been doing this show for like, 12 or 13 years now and has stayed relevant for that entire time,” she said. “That’s amazing to me.”

“Kimberly has been out there and she’s extremely smart — all my kids [are],” Caitlyn continued. “I have 10 kids and 14 grandchildren. All my kids have done so extremely well. The ones you don’t even see on camera are very successful. I’m so proud of my family.”

She praised them all for being “very entrepreneurial,” even if that business spirit is what keeps her from seeing Kendall and Kylie. With her at the event was rumored girlfriend
Sophia Hutchins.
