The complex dynamics of the Kardashian-Jenner family have long intrigued fans, and one of the most talked-about relationships within the family is that of Brody Jenner and his younger sisters, Kendall and Kylie Jenner. Despite sharing the same father, Caitlyn Jenner, Brody’s relationship with his half-sisters has been a subject of public curiosity for years. With the rise of the Kardashian-Jenner empire, the family’s interactions have been frequently under the microscope, and Brody’s connection with Kendall and Kylie has been no exception. So, where does Brody stand with his famous sisters today?
A Divided Family: Early Years
Brody Jenner’s relationship with Kendall and Kylie has always been somewhat complicated. Growing up, Brody was raised separately from Kendall and Kylie, as Caitlyn Jenner’s children from previous relationships—Brody, along with his siblings, Brandon, and Sam, were primarily raised in Malibu, while Kendall and Kylie grew up in Calabasas with their mother, Kris Jenner. This geographic divide and the fact that they didn’t live in the same household meant that Brody, Kendall, and Kylie didn’t have the same sibling bond that many people might expect from growing up together.
As Brody got older, he and Kendall were seen together on occasion, but it wasn’t until the rise of the family’s reality TV show Keeping Up with the Kardashians that the public got more insight into their relationship. Brody, who had already made a name for himself in the reality TV world with The Hills, made a few appearances on the show. While the show portrayed a connection with his half-sisters, it also highlighted the occasional tension and distance between them.
The 2010s: A More Publicized Distance
While Brody and his famous half-sisters were occasionally seen together at family events or social gatherings, the relationship between them wasn’t always smooth. One of the more talked-about moments was during a Keeping Up with the Kardashians episode in 2010 when Brody felt some resentment about being left out of certain family moments. Brody’s relationship with Kris Jenner—his stepmother—was a significant factor in the tension between him and Kendall and Kylie, as he felt that he wasn’t as included in the family’s activities and decisions. This dynamic was complicated even further when Brody’s strained relationship with Caitlyn, his father, became more public.
In later years, there were hints that Brody’s distance from the Kardashians and Jenners wasn’t just about family dynamics, but also professional rivalry and media portrayal. Brody was largely focused on his own career and pursuits, which were separate from the major spotlight that Kendall and Kylie had as high-fashion models and beauty moguls, respectively. This difference in career trajectories also contributed to their disconnection. Kendall, in particular, had become a global supermodel, and Kylie had skyrocketed as a beauty mogul with her hugely successful brand, Kylie Cosmetics. In contrast, Brody was seen as more of a reality star, and it sometimes appeared that the siblings’ career paths didn’t align as closely.
Current Relationship: A Gradual Reconnection
In recent years, Brody has made efforts to connect more with his half-sisters, and the relationship has appeared to soften. One significant moment of reconciliation was seen in 2019, when Kendall and Kylie attended Brody’s wedding to Kaitlynn Carter. The event marked a significant step in mending fences and showed that, despite past tensions, the family was coming together.
While they may not share the same close bond as Kendall and Kylie do with their other siblings, Brody and his half-sisters seem to have reached a more amicable place. Brody has expressed support for Kendall’s modeling career and has shared his admiration for her success. Similarly, Brody has shown a level of respect and acknowledgment for Kylie’s entrepreneurial achievements, though he tends to stay out of the spotlight when it comes to directly involving himself in their business ventures.
Are They Close Today?
While Brody and his sisters are not as publicly close as some of the other members of the Kardashian-Jenner clan, it’s clear that there’s mutual respect between them. They no longer appear to have the same tension that once defined their relationship. Brody has continued to stay somewhat on the periphery of the Kardashian-Jenner media empire, with his focus primarily on his own ventures, including his relationship with Kaitlynn Carter and his business interests. Kendall and Kylie, meanwhile, remain in the spotlight, building their individual brands and careers.
Brody tends to stay out of the drama that often surrounds his famous family, and he appears to have settled into a quieter, more independent role in the Kardashian-Jenner narrative. However, there’s no denying that his bond with Kendall and Kylie has evolved into a more positive and respectful one, even if it’s not the close sibling dynamic that fans might have expected.
Conclusion: A Muted but Respectful Relationship
In conclusion, Brody Jenner’s relationship with Kendall and Kylie Jenner is not as loud and public as many of the other relationships in the Kardashian-Jenner family. The trio’s connection, while not without its ups and downs, seems to have reached a place of understanding and mutual respect. They may not share the same close-knit bond as Kendall and Kylie do with their other siblings, but Brody’s relationship with his half-sisters today appears to be one of cordiality and quiet admiration. As the years go on, the family continues to navigate its complexities, but it seems that, for now, Brody, Kendall, and Kylie are at a comfortable, if not deeply intimate, place with each other.
