Caitlyn Jenner's famous family came together to celebrate her 70th birthday.
Caitlyn Jenner's famous family came together to celebrate her 70th birthday.
On Monday, her youngest daughter, 22-year-old Kylie Jenner, threw her a birthday party at Nobu restaurant in Malibu, California. And despite some past drama between Caitlyn and the famous Kardashian family, Kim Kardashian West and Kourtney Kardashian were in attendance. As for Khloe, she noted on her Instagram Story on Monday that she was "shooting a commercial all day."
Meanwhile, Caitlyn's 23-year-old daughter, Kendall, as well as her 38-year-old son, Brandon, and his girlfriend, Cayley Stoker, were also at the birthday dinner. Caitlyn’s close friend, Sophia Hutchins, was present as well.
"Such a special birthday dinner with family," Caitlyn wrote on Instagram along with a group picture and a snap of her birthday cake. "Love you all."
On her Instagram Story on Monday, Kylie showed off the intimate setup at Nobu.
"Thank you, Nobu, for setting this up," she said along with video of the candlelit dinner table with flowers. "I set up the cutest little dinner for my dad."
Kim also shared video of everyone singing happy birthday to Caitlyn. When asked about her birthday wish, Caitlyn said, "We should all get together more often."
Caitlyn had previously been on the outs with the Kardashian family after her book, Secrets of My Life, was released in 2017. In the memoir, Caitlyn alleged that Kris Jenner knew more about her gender identity crisis and plans to transition than she admitted -- as well as other unflattering claims about the family -- which clearly didn't sit well with them. In November 2017, Caitlyn candidly spoke about their fractured relationship while speaking to students at Cambridge Union in England.
"It's been a little bit tough over the last couple of years on the Kardashian side," Caitlyn said. "To be honest, I don't talk to them anymore. Kim, I haven't talked to in a year."
"They don't want me in their lives, they bashed me pretty badly," she continued. "It's devastating when your kids do that. It really hurt."
Last May, Caitlyn spoke about missing her children.
"I spend a lot of time by myself here in the house," she told Broadly. "I have a lot of children, but sometimes just because of circumstances, maintaining a close relationship with your kids is very tough. They all have lives. They've all moved on."
"We're just human beings; we’re going to be here for a very short time," she added. "We come and we go and at the end, when it’s all said and done, hopefully your family is going to be there."
Still, it appears Caitlyn's relationship with her 36-year-old son, Brody, is still shaky. In July, Brody spoke about his dad during an episode of The Hills: New Beginnings and said she had missed out on key moments of his life.
"I didn't really grow up with my dad," he said. "I didn't really, you know? When I was really little, we got to spend a little bit of time. When he started, you know, obviously with the family, the Kardashian family and all of that, I didn't really see much of him."
In a confessional, Brody said he was supportive of Caitlyn's transition, later noting to his friends, "Caitlyn is a totally different person than Bruce. It's her true self, but Bruce was always holding a lot back and being somebody totally different."
"She's happy and running around," he added. "She's off living her life. And what I've learned is to not expect too much from her."
