Kylie and Kendall Jenner have recently stirred public attention by skipping the wedding of their half-brother, Brody Jenner. Despite Brody personally handing them wedding invitations and hoping they would join him on one of the most significant days of his life, the two sisters did not attend the ceremony, which took place in Malibu. Their absence has fueled rumors of unresolved family tension, especially between the siblings’ mothers, Kris Jenner and Linda Thompson.
Brody, Kendall, and Kylie all share the same parent—Caitlyn Jenner—who was formerly known as Bruce Jenner before transitioning. After her split from Kris Jenner, Caitlyn went on to marry Linda Thompson, with whom she had Brody and his brother, Brandon. This blended family dynamic has long been the subject of speculation, particularly regarding how close the half-siblings truly are behind the scenes.
According to reports from The U.S. Sun, the root of Kendall and Kylie’s absence allegedly stems from strained relations between their mothers. While the Jenner sisters reportedly made efforts in the past to build a bond with Brody similar to the one they share with their Kardashian siblings, ongoing family complexities, especially involving Kris and Linda, have created a distance that’s been difficult to bridge.
An insider revealed that Brody was disappointed by their absence, stating to Rob Shuter, “He really hoped they’d be there. It felt personal.” This suggests that for Brody, the lack of their presence wasn’t just circumstantial—it was emotionally significant. Despite the rumors, Kylie and Kendall’s team reportedly conveyed that the sisters chose not to attend because they didn’t want to overshadow the wedding day, a decision they said was made out of respect rather than avoidance.
Adding another layer to the family dynamic, Caitlyn Jenner, despite having a historically complicated relationship with Brody, did attend the wedding. According to sources, her presence and heartfelt apology for past shortcomings were meaningful to Brody and contributed positively to the event’s emotional tone.
While the details of the tension remain private, the situation illustrates the complexity of blended families—especially when they exist in the spotlight. The absence of Kendall and Kylie from Brody’s wedding highlights the lingering emotional divides that fame, history, and family dynamics can sometimes deepen rather than mend.
