Caitlyn Marie Jenner (born William Bruce Jenner; October 28, 1949) is an American television personality and retired Olympic gold medal–winning decathlete.
Jenner played college football for the Graceland Yellowjackets before incurring a knee injury that required surgery. Convinced by Olympic decathlete Jack Parker's coach, L. D. Weldon, to try the decathlon, Jenner won the men's decathlon event at the 1976 Summer Olympics in Montreal, setting a third successive world record and gaining fame as "an all-American hero".
Given the unofficial title of "world's greatest athlete", Jenner established a career in television, film, writing, auto racing, business, and as a Playgirl cover model.
Caitlyn Jenner’s Mom Blasts ‘The Kardashians’ As ‘Most Senseless’ Thing She’s Ever Seen
etcanada.comCaitlyn Jenner’s mom Esther Jenner isn’t a fan of the Kardashian family’s new TV series. “The Kardashians”, which launched on Hulu this year, continues the family’s reality TV journey but this show does not include Caitlyn. “I think that Kardashian show is the most senseless thing I have ever watched,” Esther Jenner told the US Sun on Monday. “But my two granddaughters, Kendall and Kylie, created it, and I love them dearly.” READ MORE: Caitlyn Jenner Finally Met Pete Davidson, Says The ‘Best Part’ Is How ‘Happy’ Kim Kardashian Is Esther, 96, added, “They’re my blood.
And my four step-grandchildren — Kim, Kourtney, Khloé and Robert — feel like they’re mine, too.” Though Caitlyn was rumoured to be upset that she was excluded from the new show, Esther has her doubts. “I don’t know if [Caitlyn] even cares,” she said. “It’s something we haven’t even discussed.” Esther believes her daughter is currently more focused on her political career than on doing another reality TV gig.
Caitlyn recently ran in a special recall election to unseat California Governor Gavin Newsom but only garnered around 1% of the vote. “I think Caitlyn is putting [her] life on the line,” Esther said of her daughter’s ambitions for elected office. “I fear for [her].” Though Esther described Caitlyn as “a very strong person” with “a lot of courage”, she said she wants her daughter to “get a concealed permit” to “carry gun.” “We’re very close,” Esther said of her relationship with Caitlyn. “We probably talk three or four times a week.
I have to live with whatever decisions [she] makes and support [her] in whatever [she] chooses to do. I’m not in control.” READ MORE: Caitlyn Jenner Approves Of Kim Kardashian Dating Pete Davidson: ‘We Need A Comedian
