Speaking toAccess Hollywood,Jason and Ashley Wahler explained that many members of the cast expected the split between Jenner, 35, and Carter, 30, saying there was a lot left out in the first season ofThe Hillsreboot.

“Definitely, I hate to say definitely, because I respect everybody’s relationship,” Ashley said when asked if she saw the split coming. “But I will say, there were a lot of things that people did not get to see, that happened on camera, that they didn’t necessarily show.”

“I think everybody in the cast kind of knew that it was not gonna work out,” she added. Jason agreed, saying: “It was rocky for sure.”
