Early life
editJenner was born in June 4, 1981 in Los Angeles, California to television personality and Olympic gold medalist Caitlyn Jenner,[a] and actress and songwriter Linda Thompson. He has one younger brother Brody Jenner and two half-siblings, Burt and Casey, from Caitlyn's previous marriage to Chrystie Crownover, which lasted from 1972 to 1981.
After Jenner's parents divorced in 1986, Caitlyn Jenner remarried for the third time in 1991, to Kris Kardashian, ex-wife of attorney Robert Kardashian. Jenner became a stepbrother to Kourtney, Kim, Khloe and Rob. Kris gave birth to his younger half-sisters Kendall and Kylie Jenner in 1995 and 1997, respectively. Caitlyn and her family moved to Calabasas, California while Jenner and his brother remained in Malibu.
Jenner's mother Linda Thompson remarried in 1991 to composer David Foster.[1] Jenner and his brother Brody have stated that after his father Caitlyn's marriage to Kris, Caitlyn became gradually less present in their life, leading to them to eventually becoming estranged and being raised by their mother and stepfather composer David Foster, who they considered their main paternal figure. They were raised in Malibu, California and attended Crossroads School in Santa Monica. Thompson and Foster divorced in 2005 after 15 years together.
