Who Is Cici Bussey And How Is She Related To The Kardashians?

Some fans of the Kardashians might assume that Cici Bussey is related to Kris Jenner, as the two women have proven to be very close over the years. However, Bussey is actually the first cousin to Jenner's first husband, the late Robert Kardashian Sr., per Monsters and Critics. Sadly Bussey is thought to be the only family from Kardashian Sr.'s side of the family that is still in contact with Jenner and her children.

The rift between the Kardashian family allegedly started when Jenner and Kardashian Sr. split in the 1990s. Jenner was thought to be having an affair, and the family of the high-powered attorney wasn't happy about the way the marriage ended, cutting Jenner and her children out of their lives. However, Bussey remained in contact with her cousin's family, cultivating a close relationship with Jenner as well as the children.

Although Bussey isn't seen on the family's TV shows on a regular basis, she is clearly a big part of their daily lives. Her Instagram account reveals photos of her with several members of the family, as well as the young members of the brood like Kourtney Kardashian's daughter Penelope Disick and Khloe Kardashian's little girl, True Thompson.
