VIDEO: Caitlyn Jenner Explains Why Kids Kendall and Kylie Still Call Her 'Dad' After Transition
Kris Jenner’s ex-husband of 23 years, Olympic gold medalist Caitlyn Jenner, shocked the world four years ago when she came out as transgender and introduced her new identity. Initially the Kardashian sisters were very supportive of their former stepfather’s transition, but after Caitlyn released her memoir, The Secrets of My Life, in 2017, in which she negatively described her marriage to Kris, the relationships between Caitlyn and the ladies became slightly strained.
Things have gotten better since then, and through it all, the reality star’s daughters with Kris, Kendall and Kylie Jenner, have stuck by their dad’s side.
ScreenRant reports that the 70-year-old reality star recently discussed her children, grandchildren, and what they all call her with her castmates on I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here! In the video below, Caitlyn reveals that her daughters still call her "dad." She explained that Kendall was the first to ask her why they still call her the male title, to which she responded, “I'm your dad and I'll always be your dad 'till the day I die.”
The I Am Cait star admitted to her campmates that she feels like a father to the girls, saying, “Primarily Bruce raised them, and Caitlyn is enjoying her life with them.”
Caitlyn also spoke about her almost 20 grandkids and step-grandkids, and admitted she prefers non-traditional names with them. She revealed the adorable name that the grand-babies made up for her, and it is definitely not "grandma." She explained, “They came up with ‘Boom Boom.’ It kind of stuck. It was easy for them to say.”
By how lovingly she talks about her family, it seems that Caitlyn is both an amazing dad and Boom Boom.
