Brody Jenner waited a long time to become a father, so he wants to be as involved as he can be as his daughter grows up. In a YouTube video about his daughter’s birth, Brody said he will be nothing like his own father, Caitlyn Jenner. “I think that what I’m most excited about [being a dad] is doing things differently than my father did,” he said. “Growing up I didn’t have the greatest relationship with then-Bruce. [Caitlyn] wasn’t really around for me growing up. So, I think that just doing the exact opposite, being the absolute best father I could possibly be and getting ready for the journey and just so very excited.”
Brody has long been vocal about his strained relationship with Caitlyn, who came out as a transgender woman in 2015. On “The Hills,” he spoke out about Caitlyn skipping his wedding to his first wife, Kaitlynn Carter, which took place in Indonesia in 2018. “Not having my dad at the wedding, it was a bummer,” he said in a 2019 episode of the MTV reality show. “Honestly, it really did hurt, and I would have loved to have had her there. But she had better things to do. Apparently.”
