News: Bruce Jenner's new girlfriend Ronda Kamihira claimed to be a 'fake KUWTK storyline created by Kris Jenner'

She was reported to be 'crying herself to sleep' and 'devastated' about estranged husband Bruce Jenner's romance with her one-time best friend and assistant Ronda Kamihira.

But a report alleges that Kris Jenner actually created the romance as a storyline for Keeping Up With The Kardashians.

'It’s purely false that they are seriously dating!' an insider told Radar Online. 'Bruce suspects that the false rumours are coming from Kris’ camp, and knows it’s being used for the upcoming season of KUWTK.'

The former Olympic athlete was spotted with divorcee Ronda, 51 at an Elton John concert earlier this month, together with his daughter-in-law Leah. 

According to the Radar report, Bruce has become 'suspicious' of Kris's behaviour in the wake of the dating rumours. 

'During recent filming with Kris, the two argued about Bruce spending time with Ronda,' the insider added. 'It came out of nowhere, and Bruce immediately realized he had been set up. Kris is making a big deal of their friendship for the show.'

Kris avoided mentioning Ronda by name when asked about the romance rumours during a recent appearance on The Today Show. 

When asked by host Hoda Kotb how she felt about her estranged partner moving on so close to home, the Keeping Up With The Kardashians star said she just wanted Bruce to be happy.

Kris said: 'I don't care who he goes out with. And I don't know who he is dating, he doesn't check in with me and give me a play by play, but it's his life and you just want the guy to be happy.

'He is still the father of two of my children and so we're friends.'

People was the first to report that Bruce was dating his ex-wife's longtime friend.
