Brody Jenner’s half- and step-siblings hold a special place in his heart — even if he doesn’t get to see them as often as he’d like.
“I love ‘em all to death,” Jenner, 41, said during the Wednesday, January 22, episode of “The Viall Files” podcast. “I just don’t see them. Kim’s busy, Kourtney’s busy. I got to see them recently for Caitlyn’s birthday. We went over to Kylie’s house. Kylie, unfortunately, wasn’t there [because] she was traveling back from New York, but they’re all busy.”
He continued, “Everybody’s busy [and] doing their thing. We didn’t grow up in the same household, so it’s not like it’s any different. But, when we do see each other, it’s like no time has passed.”
Brody is one of the sons of exes Caitlyn Jenner and Linda Thompson, who also share eldest son Brandon. After Caitlyn, 75, and Thompson, 74, divorced, the former Olympian moved on with Kris Jenner. The pair were married between 1991 and 2015, going on to welcome daughters Kendall, 29, and Kylie, 27. (Kris, 69, also shared Kourtney, 45, Kim, 44, Khloé, 40, and Rob, 37, with late ex-husband Robert Kardashian.)
Keeping up with Brody Jenner and Caitlyn Jenner’s complicated relationship may be easier said than done. Long before becoming a star of The Hills or a contestant on Special Forces: World’s Toughest Test, Brody grew up with a famous father who wasn’t always present. “The big formative years for them, I was really struggling with […]
Now that the Jenner clan is all grown up, their reunions are admittedly sparse.
“I have [a] No. 1 priority in life and that’s my own family,” Brody said on Wednesday. “That’s what I’m going to devote my time to and that requires a lot of time, focus and energy. … If we do get to see each other once a year, great. If we can’t do it once a year, it is what it is. They got their kids [and] everybody’s busy, but we all love each other.”
Brody further noted that the blended brood still has “a tremendous amount of love for each other.”
“Kendall and Kylie, those are my little sisters [and] I rarely get to see them,” the Special Forces: World’s Toughest Test season 3 star said. “It’s not their fault, it’s not my fault [and] it’s not anybody’s fault. We don’t live that far, but we lived in two different households growing up.”
According to Brody, he is “really close” with both Kendall and Kylie — just not tight enough to “call each other every day.”
“But, if Kylie or Kendall called me right now, I would walk out of this room and pick up the phone,” he stressed to podcast host Nick Viall. “I’d be there for them.”
Brody, meanwhile, is focused on his immediate family — he shares daughter Honey, 18 months, with fiancée Tia Blanco.
“Family’s very important to us,” he said, adding that he hopes his toddler will have plenty of opportunities to bond with her relatives as she grows up. “Brandon has all these kids [and] we’re close with all of them. There’s nothing better than siblings and cousins. We’re from the South. We love that.”
Brody and pro surfer Blanco, 27, are also hopeful about expanding their family after they tie the knot. (The Hills alum proposed in 2023.)
“We wanted to get married [but said], ‘Let’s wait, like, a year’ and then [Honey] will be more part of the wedding,” Brody said. “We’re excited. I think we’re gonna do it here [in] Malibu at the house. [It will be] chill with some friends, family. Nothing too crazy.”
