Kris Jenner is thinking about reverting to her maiden name, Kris Houghton.
The 'Keeping Up with the Kardashians' star, whose divorce from Bruce Jenner was finalised in Los Angeles on Thursday (18.12.14) following their split in October 2013 after 23 years of marriage, reportedly hasn't decided whether she wants continue using his last name in the future.
A source close to the 59-year-old star, who has daughters Kendall Jenner, 19, and Kylie Jenner, 17, with Bruce and four older children with her late ex-husband Robert Kardashian, told E! News: "[Kris[ hasn't yet decided what she's gonna do about her last name. She doesn't seem to be in a rush to decide just yet."
Kris, who is currently dating Justin Bieber's road manager Corey Gamble, 33, previously contemplated changing her last name back to Kardashian for business purposes in 2012 even though she was still married to Olympic gold medallist Bruce, 64, at the time.
She previously explained to ABC News: "I live in a Kardashian world. It's like Kardashian inc., in my office - I eat Kardashian, I breathe Kardashian, I sleep Kardashian. I deal in Kardashians - so everyone calls me Kris Kardashian, and it goes on and on...
"So for one second it bought maybe I'll just succumb to the fact that i just need to be a Kardashian for a while, but my family quickly shut that down."

Naomi Watts says "it's not easy watching yourself get older."
The 46-year-old actress hopes she is able to age gracefully, but admits she would never rule out having cosmetic surgery, as she doesn't know how she'll feel about it in the future.
The 'While We're Young' star said: "I don't have any judgement about [plastic surgery]; whoever makes that choice, that's fine."
"It's not easy watching yourself get older, but when I look at two women in their fifties or sixties or seventies side by side, one who's had surgery and one who hasn't, I think one likes themselves a lot more and one looks more dignified and graceful.
"And I hope I get to stay being that woman. But I would never say 'never.' "
The blonde beauty, who has sons, Sasha, seven, and Kai, six, with Liev Schreiber, 47, claims there is still huge pressure on actresses to appear youthful in Hollywood and was shocked when Renée Zellweger was criticised after she displayed an astonishingly different look on the red carpet earlier this year.
She told the February issue of the UK's InStyle magazine: "[The backlash] was cruel and unnecessary. I saw a picture and I thought she looked great! She looked amazing! Leave her alone! You can't win can you?"

Nicki Minaj's ex-boyfriend is reportedly still devastated following their split in October.
Safaree Samuels, who dated the 'Anaconda' hitmaker for 12 years, is said to be an emotional wreck and friends are allegedly concerned for his welfare.
A source claimed that he has talked openly about suicide and has isolated himself from many of his friends, according to gossip website TMZ.com.
But Safaree refuses to reach out to Nicki, 32, because he believes she's now dating Meek Mill, even though she insists their relationship is "platonic."
His friends have urged him to seek help and find a new therapist.
Earlier this week, Nicki admitted she still misses Safaree.
Opening up about their split, she told New York radio station Power 105.1's the 'Angie Martinez Show' on Wednesday (17.12.14): "My relationship was based off of love, and there still is nothing but love there. This is not some person I picked up off the street. This is somebody I grew up with. Like, I don't even know how I'm gonna function without that person in my life. I've never lived my life as a famous person without him.
"I don't think people realise it's not just a relationship or breakup. That was a humongous part of my life. I know because of the world we live in, that relationships are not sacred anymore or important. But this is different.
"It's something that I am dealing with publicly... and it's not easy. I'm also not gonna joke about it or try to disrespect him and try to act like he didn't mean the world to me and still doesn't mean the world to me. I'm not going to be corny about it either. I'm just figuring it out."

Maggie Gyllenhaal hasn't always had "good experiences" at work.
The 'Honorable Woman' actress has learned from every project she has been a part of, even those deemed to be "massive failures".
She said: "Absolutely every single thing I've worked on -- some of them massive failures in all sorts of ways: financially, artistically -- every single one of them I've learned something.
"But that doesn't necessarily mean that's it's going to be good or that I'm going to be pleased or that it's going to be a good experience."
The 37-year-old actress - who has daughters Ramona, eight, and Gloria, two, with husband Peter Sarsgaard - believes she is "braver" in her work than her life because she is only pretending to do the things she does on screen.
She added: "I do think that I'm braver in my work than in my life. But the stakes are different. You're trying to get to a place where you feel like the stakes are high for the character you're playing, but the truth is it's pretend.
"You can say things or explore things and work with a different set of stakes than in life. I think I'm just looking for that opportunity."
Despite always appearing composed in public, Maggie insists that isn't always the case as she thinks showing emotion is vital to staying sane, but she knows when it is right to keep her feelings hidden.
She told Vulture: "I can be very mercurial, I can get very mad, and I can get very emotional. If I don't do that then I get panicked. The way to stay sane is to have feelings. I definitely believe in that. I also believe that an interview is not the place to lay out your most vulnerable heart, but my work is, for sure."

Brandon Flowers wanted to be a valet parker when he was a child.
The Killers' frontman has revealed his dream occupation as a youngster was to park other people's cars because he thought they were paid lots of money, but is glad he had the motivation to succeed in becoming a musician.
He said: "You can't label people when they're kids, but I guess it's [my motivation] has always been there and I'm so thankful that I found this outlet, otherwise my aspirations in life were to be a valet parker. That was it, those guys make good money! It's not my parents' fault or anything, it's just that was the world we knew."
However, the 33-year-old star is now glad of the career he pursued because of the global success of The Killers, even though he doesn't know what the band can dream of doing since achieving their goal of performing at London's Wembley Stadium in 2013.
He admitted: "After playing Wembley Stadium I don't know what else we're gonna aim for, but something was certainly fulfilled by reaching that point. It didn't put any fire out - I still want to get better."
However the 'When You Were Young' hitmaker confessed his uncertainty over the group because he doesn't think they will ever make the same "dent" which 'Beautiful Day' singers U2 have made with their music.
He added to NME magazine: "There's definitely a drive that we're lacking,
"I'm not sure if anybody's going to be able to do what they [U2] did. So sometimes it's frustrating with four different people and four different personalities in this band, we don't have that whole history that U2 have of these four young kids that knew each other and grew up in the same town, that bond that they have."

Rihanna's father was thrown out of her Diamond Ball.
The 'We Found Love' singer staged a lavish charity event in aid of her Clara-Lionel Foundation charity in Beverly Hills last week but her dad Ronald Fenty didn't even get to see her as security asked him to leave because he was drinking.
Ronald - who Rihanna sent home from her US tour six years ago because of his drunken behaviour, sparking a two-year estrangement - said: "I had Johnny Walker Black. I had two doubles man and tripped over a chair.
"I had been on the [red] carpet for the pictures, I meet a couple of famous people I knew go and talked with them, and then somebody left a chair and I stepped back and fell over, I saw my ex [Monica Braithwaite, Rihanna's mother] look up, and within a few minutes after the picture was taken, security came up and said 'We're taking you home'.
"I said, 'But I haven't seen my daughter yet' and they said, 'Don't matter man. Please do not make a scene it will reflect on your daughter.' "
A year ago, Rihanna paid for Ronald to endure a month-long stay at a luxury rehab clinic in Malibu and he knows she will be disappointed in his behaviour.
He told the MailOnline website: "I'm sad how it ended of course, I should have never taken that first drink or any drink for that matter. I wish I had seen her of course.
"She will probably hear how I was and how I had a few drinks, so I guess she would be angry with me. I think she is, I'm not sure, we haven't spoken just yet.
"I feel bad because I let her down because she spend all that money putting me in rehab, [and] then find me drunk somewhere. It is not good. What can I say but I'm sorry. It's me who f**ed up."
Ronald explained he had turned to alcohol because he felt "down" that his daughter hadn't invited her half-brother and half-sister to the glitzy event, though other family members were there.
Despite the incident, Ronald - who has previously battled addiction to crack cocaine - insists he isn't an alcoholic.
He said: "Me, no, drunk and disorderly. I don't see myself as an alcoholic, I don't realise when I get that drunk.
"Call me a drunk or alcoholic in denial, whatever you want to call me but I have realised I could drink or not drink."

Dan Stevens felt "weirdly emotional" watching 'Night at the Museum: Secret of the Tomb' following Robin Williams' death.
The former 'Downton Abbey' star appeared alongside the late actor - who hanged himself at his home in August aged 63 - as Sir Lancelot in the comedy film and admitted he found it tough to hold back the tears while watching the 'Mrs. Doubtfire' actor in the motion picture because he loved acting with him.
He said: "Personally, I feel I have no right to say it but it did hit me hard because it was one of the highlights of my life getting to meet him and work with him.
"It was weirdly emotional watching the film back. The ending of the film had this sadness about it, saying goodbye to beloved friends and moving on.
"I remember when they shot that farewell sequence between Ben [Stiller] and Robin, it was an emotional day because it was the end of nine years working together, so there was something in the air that day that was very sad, and obviously it's been multiplied infinitely by this year."
Dan admitted Robin - who played a wax statue of former US President Theodore Roosevelt in the movie - was "great fun" on the set of the motion picture and often used to whisper sneaky suggestions to the 32-year-old star about how he could try to play his character in certain scenes.
Speaking to The Huffington Post UK, he added: "The generosity that he showed, and the support and encouragement for me, who hadn't done a lot of comedy before, just to be right there alongside you, championing any effort to be funny.
"He was a great fun of laughter in general, and hearing him whisper in some scenes, 'Why don't you try this?' was just a great privilege.
"So I did spend a good amount of the first half of this year with him, and it was going from that extraordinary high to an unbelievable low. It's wonderful seeing him up there on the screen, and it was a great send-off."

Orlando Bloom wants to make a 'Hobbit' porn film.
The 37-year-old star, who plays Legolas in the 'Lord of the Rings' and 'Hobbit' movie franchises, is keen to make a home movie spin-off version of the fantasy flick featuring violent, tantric sex-loving elves getting "down and dirty".
He said: "I was doing press with Evangeline Lilly and Lee Pace recently, who both play elves, and we thought we might do an elven spin off.
"We could do an elven spin-off ourselves, you know. Get some iPhones, and some GoPros. And the elves annihilate Middle Earth, tantric sex style, down and dirty.
"A bit of elven love, and some violence ... get dirty. Low budget movies make lots of money."
While Orlando is keen to get jiggy with it in a 'Hobbit' spin-off, he doesn't expect there to be another movie adapted from late author J.R.R Tolkien's books.
Speaking on talk show 'Conan', he added: "To be honest, the truth is there won't be, because J.R.R Tolkien has the rights, the estate hold the rights for both 'The Hobbit' and 'Lord of The Rings', but nothing else."
UK viewers can catch Orlando's interview on 'Conan' at 11pm on Monday (22.12.14) on truTV (freeview channel 68).

Angelina Jolie gets Brad Pitt to cook Christmas dinner because she has no patience.
The 39-year-old actress insists she gets far too easily distracted to be in charge of making such a huge meal as Christmas dinner so she will be chopping up the vegetables instead and leaving her husband to organise lunch.
She said: "Nobody in my house wants me to do any cooking on Christmas Day. I have no patience! I start things and then I get distracted and l go and I'll start reading over there, or start playing outside with the kids.
"I think you have to be very patient to cook, I'd be designated to the chopping board! Brad would be really good at the timing and organisation."
The couple admit they haven't really thought much about what to get each other for Christmas as they have been concentrating on making sure their six children, Maddox, 13, Pax, 11, Zahara, nine, Shiloh, eight, and six-year-old twins Knox and Vivienne, have an amazing time over the festive period.
Speaking on ITV's 'Good Morning Britain', Angelina added: "We travel a lot so I think it's more what to do, what's going to be the experience, where we're going to go, or what we're going to do, who we're going to see, and I think they [the children] know.
"Mummy loves a stocking and I love a gift, we try our best not to spoil them so we try to be very balanced and calculating to not go too far."
