Kendall and Kylie Jenner skip brother Brody's wedding amid family 'bad blood' calls
Kendall and Kylie Jenner turned down their half-brother Brody Jenner's invitation to attend his wedding to Tia Blanco in Malibu Kendall and Kylie Jenner were notable absentees as half-brother Brody Jenner tied the knot. Former Hills star Brody, 41, married Tia Blanco in Malibu, but the famous siblings decided to skip the ceremony. It's claimed the occasion wasn't a priority for Kylie, 27, and Kendall, 29. The duo and Brody are both children of former Olympian Caitlyn Jenner. While Kyie and Kendall's mum is Kris Jenner, Brody's is Caitlyn's ex-wife, Linda Thompson. According to sources, Brody reached out personally to his half sisters with an invitation to his big day months ago. However, they are said to have had other commitments, meaning they couldn't attend. Despite the reasoning, insiders believe the pair could have made an appearance if they really wanted to. They then claimed Caitlyn's ex-wives, Kris and Linda, have had "bad blood" over the years. "Linda is quite a character, and has a lot to say about Kris - and vice versa," the source told the Sun. "It was fireworks for a few years, and that drama did carry through into the kids." And it's claimed Brody never warmed to Kris. "He's never gotten over it," they said. "And so when the siblings were trying to build relationships, Brody would often fall back into this narrative of blaming Kris for everything." The source went on to say Kylie feels like a "stranger" within Brody's family unit and feels a lot closer to the Kardashian clan. However, another source told TMZ there is no bad blood, but "mutual love" between the Jenner sisters and Brody, suggesting Kylie and Kendall may have swerved the event "to keep the spotlight on the bride and groom". While Kendall and Kylie were not present for the special occasion, Caitlyn was in attendance. And despite the no-shows, Brody seemed to have enjoyed his big day. He took to Instagram shortly after and gushed: "Last night was truly something special. We had the best time celebrating our love with all of you," he wrote on Instagram. "Thank you to everyone who came out and made it such an unforgettable night. We felt so much love and couldn't be more grateful.' Despite missing their half-brother's ceremony, the Jenner sisters took time last month to attend the lavish get together for Jeff Bezos' big day. However, while Kylie and Kendall Jenner's appearance was a bit more understated, the elder sisters, Kim and Khloe, seized every chance to turn heads from the moment they rocked up in a plunging catsuit to their swift departure after the 25-minute ceremony. Body language expert Judi James told The Mirror US: "These sisters behaved very much like 20 year old bridesmaids: single, playful and still as selfie/self-obsessed as any teenager." She analysed their "their jurassic, self-flaunting body language," specifically when they posed for snaps on a water taxi using "the classic duck-face pout and the inevitable over-stretched V-sign finger signals." And she also said they appeared "happily obsessed with their own image".
