Despite bemoaning her increasingly distant relationships with her children, Caitlyn Jenner has decided to pass on the wedding of son Brody Jenner to blogger Kaitlynn Carter.
Caitlyn Jenner was invited to the ceremonies in Bali this week, but a representative told Page Six that she couldn’t fit it in her schedule because of prior work commitments.
Brody, 34, a reality TV star, is Caitlyn’s youngest son with second wife Linda Thompson.
Caitlyn, 68, recently opened up about her strained relationship with Brody and her other five children, as well as with her four step-children with third wife Kris Jenner. Caitlyn said that she spends much of her time alone at her Malibu home, with her dog Bertha as her only company.
“I spend a lot of time by myself here in the house,” she said. “I have a lot of children, but sometimes just because of circumstances, maintaining a close relationship with your kids is very tough. They all have lives. They’ve all moved on.”
But she also seemed open to making things better with her children.
“We’re just human beings; we’re going to be here for a very short time,” Caitlyn added. “We come and we go and at the end, when it’s all said and done, hopefully your family is going to be there.”
In addition to Brody, Caitlyn, formerly Bruce Jenner, also fathered a son Burt, 39, and daughter Cassandra, 37, with first wife Chrystie Crownover; son Brandon, 36, with Thompson; and daughters Kendall, 22, and Kylie, 20, with Kris Jenner. She also played a prominent role as step-father to Kris Jenner’s daughters Kourtney Kardashian, 39, Kim Kardashian West, 37, Kourtney Kardashian, 33, and son Rob Kardashian, 31.
Jenner remains in contact with Kendall and Kylie, but is estranged from Kris Jenner and the Kardashians. Caitlyn’s memoir, “The Secrets of My Life,” caused a rift between herself and the famous reality TV family.
As for Brody Jenner’s nuptials, Thompson has been documenting the festivities leading up to the ceremony on Instagram, and has been referring to Bali as Jenner Island, according to the Daily Mail.
“These two exuding only good vibes as they prepare for their #JennerIsland wedding with a spiritual cleanse at an ancient Hindu temple,” Thompson captioned one post.
“#JennerIsland celebration continues embracing Balinese culture with @brodyjenner & @kaitlynn #love&marriage,” she wrote in another.
