OPRAH WINFREY: How did your
parents divor-- you know, when
your parents are
divorced, and you're
old enough to know
about it, it impacts
you for the rest of your life.
In 1978, Kris Houghton, a
former flight attendant,
married Robert Kardashian,
a wealthy Armenian-American
lawyer and entrepreneur.
You may remember
Robert Kardashian was
on OJ Simpson's defense team.
They had three daughters--
Kourtney, Kim, and Khloe--
then a boy, Robert Jr. 12
years into the marriage,
Kris and Robert divorced.
A year later, Kris married gold
medal Olympian Bruce Jenner.
They had daughter
Kendall in 1995,
and Kylie two years later.
How do you think you were
impacted by that time?
 I think it definitely
affected my relationship today.
I think I definitely
have, like, commitment--
not commitment issues, 'cause
I'm committed to Scott,
and we're together as a family.
I don't-- I don't know,
maybe I'm kind of scared
of marriage because of that.
 Do you think you
will marry him?
KOURTNEY KARDASHIAN: I'd like
to someday, for my children.
But I'm not, like,
completely against it.
But, like, I know that I'm
just as committed as if I
was married or not married.
OPRAH WINFREY: How
did the-- the divorce
affect you, Kim, do you think?
 Always in life, we
always protected our dad
because we felt bad
for him because he
didn't want the divorce.
We knew it was my mom's fault.
And we were really well aware.
So--
 Were you aware of
the affair at the time?
 Yes.
OPRAH WINFREY: You were.
In her 2011 memoir, "Kris Jenner
and All Things Kardashian,"
Kris revealed she had
an affair while married
to her first husband,
Robert Kardashian.
KIM KARDASHIAN: Kourtney
and I, for sure--
we were really aware.
 I wasn't.
ROBERT KARDASHIAN: I still
wasn't aware until recently,
to be honest.
- Really?
OPRAH WINFREY: Weren't
aware till when, the book?
 Honestly, I swear.
KOURTNEY KARDASHIAN: What?
OPRAH WINFREY: But you
were really angry about it.
 I think to myself,
like I'm trying
to put myself in her shoes.
And I'm like, I would
never do that to my family.
I know that she
regrets it so much.
 And I understand Mom
because I feel like I--
not that I think
that that's OK--
but I've been in really
unhappy situations,
even though Dad
was amazing to her.
But I've been in
those situations
where I feel like
I want to get out.
I can't breathe.
