Caitlyn Jenner hasn’t spoken to son Brody in a YEAR after she missed his wedding to party in Austria
CAITLYN Jenner hasn’t spoken to her son Brody in a year after she missed his wedding to party in Austria.
The I’m A Celeb star, 70, - who has six biological kids and four step-children - has had a strained relationship with The Hills hunk over the years and they ceased contact after she failed to attend his nuptials to Kaitlynn Carter in 2018.

At the time Caitlyn was pictured partying in Austria for "work commitments" while Brody’s close friends and other family members congregated in Sumba, Indonesia for the big day.
Brody – who has spoken candidly about his dad barely being around as he grew up - is Caitlyn’s youngest son with her second wife Linda Thomspon, with whom she also shares son Brandon.
She also has Burt and Cassandra from her first marriage to Chrystie Crownover and Kendall and Kylie with her last wife Kris Jenner, as well taking on Kourtney, Kim, Khloe and Rob Kardashian.
An insider told The Sun Online: “It's never been the easiest relationship. For a long time, Brody had to watch his dad play happy families with the Kardashians and it hurt, because Caitlyn was never around for him so Brody felt that he didn't have much of a father.

“But when Caitlyn transitioned, Brody regarded it as a fresh start - he believed his dad's talk of being deeply unhappy for years, and under the control of Kris, so Brody wanted to give it a go.”
They continued: “Brody tells friends that as crazy as it all was, he did try to support his dad and wanted to be there for him - even though it was an emotional rollercoaster for him too. But that support was never a two way thing. Brody tried to open up about how difficult he found the transition, but Caitlyn never offered any support, and told Brody he should go to therapy if he needed help.
“Brody tried to re-establish a family bond - but Caitlyn never responded much to calls or messages, and always cancelling, saying she had to work or attend an event - but demanding they always turn up to support her at events. Brody used to get so frustrated. Then when Caitlyn cancelled on his wedding, Brody was done. Saying he'd had enough and wasn't going to hang around anymore when his dad was never going to change. They haven’t spoken in around a year now.”
