The renewed connection comes after what had been widely viewed as a breakdown in Markle and Jenner’s relationship following the so-called “photogate” incident late last year.
Images of the Sussexes at Jenner’s lavish, Bond-themed birthday celebration were removed from social media shortly after being posted, reportedly at the couple’s request due to the timing with the UK’s Remembrance Day.
The decision drew criticism, including from Kim Kardashian, who described the issue as “so crazy and ridiculous.”
Despite the episode, sources said Markle has worked to repair the relationship with the Kardashian clan, viewing Jenner as a valuable ally in Hollywood.
“Meghan views Kris as a powerful and highly strategic figure who understands exactly how to build and sustain influence,” an insider claimed.
“She recognizes the value of having someone with that level of experience and visibility firmly in her corner, particularly at a time when some of her other high-profile connections have become more distant.”
The source added, “Public backing from someone like Kris carries real weight in entertainment and influencer circles, and Meghan sees it as not just supportive, but essential to maintaining momentum. In her eyes, it’s the kind of alliance that can open doors, shape perception, and reinforce her position in an increasingly competitive space.”
