Kris Jenner has been hospitalised for 'internal pains'

Los Angeles - Kris Jenner was hospitalised for "internal pains".

The Keeping Up with the Kardashians star was rushed to a medical centre in Thousand Oaks, California, on Wednesday morning by her estranged husband Bruce Jenner after experiencing severe discomfort.

A source told E! News that the 58-year-old talent manager "went to hospital for some internal pains she was having".

The insider said that doctors decided it was necessary for Kris to get "a scan for precautionary reasons" but the mother-of-six wants to keep details of the medical matter private.

Olympic gold medallist Bruce, 64, was spotted taking Kris, whom he announced he was separating from in October after 22 years of marriage, to the emergency room.

A source previously said he drove over from his bachelor pad in Malibu to be by her side.

Despite appearing to be closer than ever, Kris dismissed speculation they had reconciled earlier this week.

And she hinted she was exhausted on Tuesday as she confessed "it will be a relief" when her daughter Kim Kardashian's wedding to Kanye West is over next month.

The former chat show host previously admitted that she has become more conscious about ''maintaining'' her weight and health as she gets older.

She said: "God knows I try! The older you get, the harder it is. I love to work out and love to feel like I'm in shape and I like to feel good about myself."
