Brody Jenner and his fiancée, Tia Blanco, joyfully announced the arrival of their first child, a baby girl named Honey Raye Jenner, on July 29th. On August 10th, Jenner took to Instagram to share the exciting news, expressing that both mother and baby are healthy. He also shared footage from Blanco's home birth and expressed their profound love for their little family. The couple extended their gratitude to everyone for their overwhelming love and support during this special time.
The Hills star and the professional surfer, who is 26 years old, were first romantically linked in April 2022. They made their relationship official on Instagram almost a month later. In January, the couple announced that they were expecting their first child.
"To kick off the new year, we want to take this moment to wish our friends, family, and followers good health, happiness, and lots of love," they wrote alongside a joint Instagram video on New Year's Day. The video featured Blanco getting a sonogram. "We sincerely appreciate and love all of you. We are thrilled to share the joy of a new life in the coming year."
The duo continued: “Our little angel is on their way !”

Jenner, who was formerly wedded to Kaitlynn Carter from 2018 to 2019, is the younger son of Caitlyn Jenner and Linda Thompson. (The former spouses, who also have a son together named Brandon Jenner, were married from 1981 to 1986.)
Thompson, who is 72, expressed excitement about the pregnancy announcement, stating, "I am thrilled that you are sharing this news with me so I can spread the word to everyone I meet on the street." He jokingly added that he had been keeping the secret and it had been challenging for him. Thompson also expressed his happiness and love for the couple and their upcoming addition. Brody proposed to Blanco during her baby shower called "Tiara & Teacups," which Thompson had hosted.
"Feeling like I'm in a dream - please don't wake me up," exclaimed Blanco on Instagram last June. "Yesterday's baby shower was absolutely stunning, and it concluded with a heartfelt proposal from the man I've always dreamed of. Sharing these special moments with our loved ones meant the world to us."
She added with excitement, "I truly believe our baby girl felt the overwhelming love in the room! I'm beyond excited to marry you, @brodyjenner!"
Thompson's daughter with Brody and Blanco is their fourth grandchild and Caitlyn's twenty-first. Brody and Blanco are already grandparents to Brandon's three children, including daughter Eva, 8, with his ex-wife Leah James, and twins Sam and Bo, both 2, with his partner Cayley Stoker. Caitlyn, at the age of 73, is also a grandparent to Cassandra Jenner, Burt Jenner, and Kylie Jenner's children. Additionally, Caitlyn's former stepchildren Kim Kardashian, Khloé Kardashian, Rob Kardashian, and Kourtney Kardashian each have multiple children, adding to the overall count of grandchildren.
