In a recent YouTube video uploaded on Thursday, August 10, Brody Jenner, 39, expressed his excitement about becoming a father and shared his intention to approach parenting in a different manner than his own parent, Caitlyn Jenner. Reflecting on his past experiences, Brody revealed that his relationship with Caitlyn, previously known as Bruce Jenner, was not particularly strong during his upbringing. Consequently, he aims to prioritize being the best father he can possibly be, determined to embark on this journey and eagerly looking forward to it.

Brody, the youngest son of 73-year-old Caitlyn and Linda Thompson, expressed his desire to be present for all the amazing moments in his daughter's life. He excitedly shared that he and his fiancée, Tia Blanco, were overjoyed to embark on the journey of parenthood together. Brody described Blanco, who is 26 years old, as the best mom-to-be. In a heartfelt video, he admitted that he had doubts about his ability to have children but felt blessed to have Tia by his side, as she is his perfect match and the most extraordinary woman he has ever encountered. Brody believes that everything happens as it should in the universe.

Brody and Blanco announced the arrival of their daughter, Honey, in late July, sharing the joyful news with the public one week later.

"On July 29th, we welcomed our beautiful baby girl, Honey Raye Jenner, into the world ❤️. Both mother and baby are in excellent health," Jenner, 39, announced on Instagram on Thursday, August 10, along with a video of Blanco giving birth at home. "We are deeply in love and savoring every precious moment together as a family. We want to express our gratitude to everyone for their love and support."

In a 2019 episode of The Hills: New Beginnings, Brody candidly discussed his strained upbringing and relationship with Caitlyn, who publicly came out as transgender in 2015. Growing up, Brody experienced minimal involvement from Caitlyn, who was previously married to Kris Jenner and has daughters Kendall and Kylie, as well as being a step-parent to Kourtney, Kim, Rob, and Khloé Kardashian.

"I didn't have much of a relationship with Bruce," Brody explained during the episode. "He was rarely present in my life - maybe once every few years. He missed important milestones like my graduation and many of my birthdays. Our connection was superficial at best. Gradually, we started to develop a closer bond. And then suddenly, I was just getting to know Bruce when Bruce became Caitlyn."

Despite Brody and Caitlyn’s strained relationship in the past, the pair have come together recently. In the August YouTube clip, Caitlyn can be seen attending Body and Blanco’s baby shower.
