Parenting with Presence
Brandon Jenner, at 42, is redefining the meaning of parenting through his mindful and present approach. In an exclusive interview, he shared how he is breaking away from the busy schedules of his own parents to prioritize being fully engaged with his children.

Brandon's upbringing as the eldest son of Linda Thompson and Caitlyn Jenner was shaped by the busyness of his parents' lives. The absence of consistent presence during his formative years has led Brandon to consciously choose a different path. Despite having a lot on his plate, Brandon emphasizes the importance of being actively involved in his children's lives, ensuring that quality time and meaningful experiences take precedence.

The birth of their twin sons, Bo and Sam, in February 2020, and the joint parenting of Brandon's daughter, Eva, 8, with his ex-wife, Leah James, have further cemented Brandon's commitment to placing his kids at the forefront of his life. "I really try to be involved with them. I really try to do fun stuff. I'm just a very present father as much as I can be," he affirmed, shedding light on his unwavering dedication to his role as a father and a husband.
Navigating Family Dynamics
Beyond his parenting journey, Brandon has been candid about the complexities of his relationship with Caitlyn Jenner. In his 2020 book, 'To Me, He Was Just Dad: Stories of Growing Up With Famous Fathers,' Brandon unveiled the challenges he faced, including a limited connection with Caitlyn following his parents' divorce. The revelation that he didn't see Caitlyn 'more than half a dozen times between ages of eight and 25' shed light on the distant relationship they once shared.
However, in a heartwarming turn of events, Brandon has expressed that his relationship with Caitlyn has flourished into a place of genuine closeness and understanding. Describing their current bond as 'great' and 'very close,' Brandon emphasized the positive strides they've made. "I talk to my dad almost every day. We have a lot of things in common," he shared, highlighting the depth of their improved connection. Their shared passion for aviation has further solidified their bond, with Brandon revealing, "We're both pilots, so we share a hanger, and we're up there at least a couple times a week working on planes and flying and stuff."
Cayley, Brandon's wife, also chimed in, affirming the harmonious relationship their children share with Caitlyn. Their kids affectionately refer to Caitlyn as 'Boom Boom,' reflecting the warmth and inclusivity that defines their family dynamic. "Boom Boom's present, and the kids ask about her and want to see her, and they love to see her when she's around. So, it's really nice," Cayley expressed, shedding light on the positive impact of Caitlyn's presence in their lives.
Embracing Life and New Beginnings
In addition to his personal revelations, Brandon and Cayley are inviting viewers into their lives through the new series, At Home with the Jenners. The show offers an intimate glimpse into their journey as they navigate a plant-based lifestyle and share valuable insights with their audience. Reflecting on their experience, Brandon imparted wisdom on embracing the moment and savoring the privilege of sharing their lives on screen.
"So much of it is just don't take any of it too seriously," Brandon advised, emphasizing the importance of enjoying the ride and cherishing the opportunities that come their way. His gratitude for the interest in their family and the joy of being able to connect with audiences underscored the genuine enthusiasm they bring to the series.
The release of the first three episodes of At Home with the Jenners on UnchainedTV marks the beginning of a new chapter for Brandon and Cayley. With more episodes set to premiere, their journey promises to inspire and resonate with viewers, offering a refreshing perspective on family, life, and the pursuit of meaningful experiences.
