Brody Jenner Felt 'Abandoned' By His Father During Kardashian Fame -- And Caitlyn VERY Recently Offered Up A 'Sincere Apology'!

Brody Jenner Says He Got ‘Sincere Apology’ From Caitlyn Jenner After Feeling ‘Abandoned’ During Kardashians Fame

Brody Jenner and Caitlyn Jenner are healing old wounds.

During Wednesday’s episode of Special Forces: World’s Toughest Test, the reality star revealed he “just recently” received a “real, sincere apology” from his parent, sharing:

“It was the first time in my life that I’ve ever gotten an apology. You know, ‘I’m sorry for not being there.’”

He said that hearing the 75-year-old express remorse “honestly … meant a lot” to him. Aw.

As for what the problem was, The Hills alum said he felt “abandoned” by Caitlyn. Referring to the Olympian with he/him pronouns, something the TV personality has given her kids her blessing to do, Brody explained:

“I’d randomly see him — ‘him’ at the time — you know, here and there. But, mom [Linda Thompson] would tell me that I would write on cards, ‘Why doesn’t dad call me on my birthday?’”

Oof. That’s so tough! Brody continued:

“I had an incredible mother. … [Caitlyn] wasn’t around that much. They split, and then he met a woman [Kris Jenner].”

Referencing Kourtney Kardashian, Kim Kardashian, Rob Kardashian, Khloé Kardashian, Kylie Jenner, and Kendall Jenner, the 41-year-old continued:

“She had kids as well. The woman that he met … they had kids together.”

He also recalled Caitlyn going through her “own struggles, transitioning,” which was all shown on Keeping Up With The Kardashians, something he didn’t love at the time:

“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.”

That said, Caitlyn’s transition also gave him a new outlook on his parent:

“When I found out that Caitlyn, or Bruce, wanted to be Caitlyn, it was sort of a relief. 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.”

Divorces and blended families can be complicated regardless of fame, so when you add that element, it’s no surprise Brody had some uncomfortable feelings about it. But how nice that he finally got a much-desired apology.

This also comes after Body welcomed his daughter Honey with his fiancée Tia Blanco in July 2023. A month after her arrival, the DJ said he plans to parent her “the exact opposite” of Caitlyn, who “wasn’t really around” for him growing up. Becoming a parent adds a whole new perspective to life. Reflecting on this, Brody added in the competition series:

“I think not having Bruce around growing up and her doing that transition, it was tough just being her son. I just had a beautiful little daughter. I’m not living for myself anymore. I’m living for her. […] 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. I think it really has shaped me to do everything different and to really be there and to be present to my little girl.”

It’s great to hear that after Brody’s brutal honesty, things are actually moving in the right direction!
