AceShowbiz - In a recent episode of "Special Forces: World's Toughest Test", Brody Jenner shared a poignant update on his relationship with Caitlyn Jenner, the challenges of growing up in a high-profile family, and his aspirations as a father.
Brody, who welcomed his daughter Honey Raye with his fiancée Tia Blanco in July 2023, revealed that he recently received a heartfelt apology from Caitlyn, which was deeply meaningful to him.
"Just recently, I got a real sincere apology," Brody said on the show. "That was the first time in my life that I've ever gotten an apology, you know, 'I'm sorry for not being there.' And, honestly, it meant a lot."
Brody has often spoken about feeling abandoned by Caitlyn during his formative years, especially following Caitlyn's marriage to Kris Jenner and their subsequent starring roles in "Keeping Up With the Kardashians" and "I Am Cait". "I think not having Bruce around growing up and her doing that transition, it was tough just being her son," Brody admitted.
He further elaborated on how Caitlyn's involvement in various reality shows impacted their relationship. "I will say he was going through his own struggles, transitioning, and it was all that was put on TV, and there were these moments that we would have that was all filmed, and it just felt very invasive and not very genuine, I would say," Brody added.
Despite the challenges, Brody acknowledged that Caitlyn's transition ultimately made a lot of things clear to him. "When I found out that Caitlyn, or Bruce, wanted to be Caitlyn, it was sort of a relief," he said. "I think that there were a lot of things that started to make sense, you know, just in my life, about my father, and maybe why he wasn't there all those years."
As a new father, Brody is committed to being present and engaged with his daughter, ensuring she feels supported and loved. "I think when you have kids, you need to accept a little bit of responsibility that the things you do are also going to reflect on them as well," he remarked. "I think it really has shaped me to do everything different and to really be there and to be present to my little girl."
Brody's experiences have indelibly shaped his approach to parenthood. "I'm not living for myself anymore," Brody concluded. "I'm living for her." Brody Jenner's journey serves as a testament to the complexities of familial relationships and the dedication required to break the cycle for future generations.
