text: Kris Jenner looked downcast and emotional as she drove herself to a Beverly Hills gym on Monday as she continues to deal with the fall-out from ex-husband Bruce Jenner's TV tell-all. The Olympic gold medalist confirmed to the world on Friday that 'to all intents and purposes I am a woman' and said his third wife Kris, like his previous two wives, knew about his desire to be female. Diane Sawyer said during the ABC 20/20 special that Kris had declined to comment on her husband's gender transition even though previous two wives issued messages of support that were read out on the program. On Monday, close family friend Kathie Lee Gifford said on NBC's Today that Kris didn't know Bruce's secret and she's still 'trying to get her act together' when it comes to dealing with the news.

Shocked: Kathie Lee Gifford said on Today on Monday that she hadn't seen Bruce's bombshell news coming and neither had her close friend Kris, saying that the momager was struggling to cope with the revelations . 'The other ladies, both fine women, had a long time to get used to this. This was new to Kris,' Kathie Lee told Today co-host Hoda Kotb. She said Kris, who was married to Bruce for 22 years, is 'trying to be a good friend to him - or her -now.' 'Trying to still be a great parent, and it's complicated in ways that we cannot even comprehend.' The TV personality is a godmother to Bruce and Kris' daughters Kendall, 19, and Kylie, 17, and has known the ex couple for years. But her version of events is clearly at odds with what Bruce himself had to say to Diane Sawyer, including the claim that had Kris been accepting of his situation, they would 'probably still be together.' He told Sawyer that Kris had seen him cross-dressing and knew that he had developed 36B breasts because he could no longer hide them from her. He maintained that he and Kris had 'a great sex life' and that she was relatively low-key when she discovered his secret. 'She didn't say much,' the former decathlete said.

Kathie Lee, who's been married to sports commentator Frank Gifford since 1986, said on Today she was shocked by the news that Bruce identifies as female. 'I never saw this coming, I've got to tell you,' she said. 'It would have shocked me as much if Frank had told me [the same thing.]' But she insists that she is supportive of the former star athlete and reality TV star. 'How do you deal with that [the news]? The way you do, ultimately, is when you put love first, and try to put yourself in someone else's high heels I suppose,' she said. She also revealed that she had a long frank conversation with Bruce before his TV interview aired so she was prepared for what he said and also how to deal with the situation moving forward. 'We all want to love him through this and we all know there are children who are going to have to learn to deal with this,' she said. 'The story isn't over obviously. The transition goes on.'
