Editor’s note: In this story, Brody Jenner uses Caitlyn Jenner’s former name and pronouns, and refers to Caitlyn as “dad,” which she has previously given her blessing for all of her kids to do.
Brody Jenner, 41, is sharing insights into his complex relationship with his father, Caitlyn Jenner. On the Jan. 15 episode of Special Forces: World’s Toughest Test, he disclosed that although their relationship is “better now,” they were distant when he was growing up.
He recalled, “I’d randomly see him — ‘him’ at the time — you know, here and there. But, mom would tell me that I would write on cards, ‘Why doesn’t dad call me on my birthday?’”
The reality star, who also appeared on The Hills: New Beginnings, reflected on how this difficult dynamic influenced his view of fatherhood. He and fiancée Tiarah “Tia” Blanco welcomed daughter Honey in July 2023.
