Kendall Jenner spoke about a lot more than Justin Bieber during her interview with Nightline last night.

The 19-year-old stunner, who just announced that she's the new face of Estee Lauder, opened up about how hard it was to watch her parents' marriage fall apart.

"It sucked," Kendall exclaimed. "But it's not—I try to think of it as it's not the worst thing that could have happened."

She clarified, "I still am so close with both of them, my mom and my dad. Nothing has really changed except for the fact that now my dad lives on a beach, which is awesome. That's not that bad…everybody's happy."

Kris and Bruce Jenner announced that they were separating back 2013, and filed for divorce almost one year later.

At the time of the split, they told E! News that they were "living separately and are much happier this way."

Their statement continued, "But we will always have much love and respect for each other. Even though we are separated, we will always remain best friends and, as always, our family will remain our number one priority."

And during a guest appearance on The Talk, Kris dished about how she chooses to see the positives in their marriage rather than dwell on the negatives.

"You can choose to do things in a real grown-up way and be friends through something and make it so that everyone around you is comfortable and happy," she told the co-hosts.

"And I think that all the good things. Yeah, it's a decision...Divorce is a decision. It's not a good decision but we're happier living apart than we were together. Everybody feels it. But anything can happen. And the good in my life so outweighs the bad. You can't get mad at [life too much when] another grandchild is coming. So it's such joy and we're all happy and looking forward."
