The mother of six ultimately decided against the idea to please Bruce however now that the pair is separated, a name change is likely.
"[Bruce] could not care less at this point if Kris changes her last name back to Kardashian," the source revealed.
"The only time the two talk on the phone is about [their teenage daughters] Kendall and Kylie," the source said. "Bruce is completely off the reservation, finally living his life the way he wants to."
The Jenners, who have been married 22 years, announced their separation on Tuesday via a public statement. The estranged couple revealed that their family is their number one priority.
