Linda Thompson Presents New Granddaughter Sharing Private Water Birth Video of Her Daughter-in-Law

• Linda Thompson, the ex-wife of Caitlyn Jenner and the mother to Brody and Brandon Jenner introduced her new granddaughter to the public in a “magical” way.
• Early last month, Thompson posted a video of her daughter-in-law having a water birth at home, and the baby is beautiful.

Linda Thompson, 73, is an American singer-songwriter, actress, and model. She is also the mom of two sons, Brody and Brandon Jenner, whom she shares with her ex, Caitlyn Jenner. Before she married her ex, Thompson was romantically involved with the sensationally famous late musician Elvis Presley.

Their relationship started in 1972 after the late musician divorced his wife. During their four and a half years together, Thompson and Presley lived at his Graceland estate.

Following her romance with the King of rock ‘n roll, Thompson met and eventually married former Olympic gold medal-winning decathlete Caitlyn Jenner. Their partnership took place before Caitlyn’s gender transition.

However, Thompson recalled how Caitlyn had revealed her desire to transition in 1985 when they were still married. According to the 73-year-old, the media personality admitted her revelation to Thompson two years after Thompson gave birth to their two sons.

After Caitlyn disclosed that she felt trapped in the wrong body (before her transition), Thompson said she was shocked and confused. She credited her reaction partly to the fact that, at the time, very few people actually had full knowledge about gender dysphoria and its impact.

As a result of finding it difficult to grapple with the new reality they faced as a couple, the two sought counseling. However, after a few sessions, Thompson realized that Caitlyn’s desire to transition was only growing stronger. In fact, the former Olympian wanted to travel to Denmark for gender reassignment surgery.

Despite her unwavering determination to transition, Caitlyn wanted to stay married to Thompson. One day, after inviting Thompson on a weekend trip to New York, Thompson arrived at a hotel to see her former partner dressed in women’s clothing, a wig, and adorning a full face of makeup with red lips. Upon seeing Caitlyn this way, Thompson revealed:

“I crumbled right there and burst into tears. ‘Oh, I’m sorry,’ Bruce said. ‘I just wanted you to see who I really am. This is me!’ “

While Thompson still loved Caitlyn, seeing her this way made Thompson view Caitlyn more as her best girlfriend rather than her husband. Thompson and Caitlyn ended up divorcing, but she kept Caitlyn’s secret even after news broke out that she would marry Kris Jenner and welcome two more kids with her.

Following Caitlyn’s official transition, Thompson expressed that she still found the whole ordeal surreal. She said that even though she accepts, supports, and respects Caitlyn, she sometimes misses the man she married.

Though Thompson may sometimes miss her ex before she transitioned, they got a beautiful family out of their relationship. Last month, that family expanded with the addition of Thompson’s new granddaughter.

On August 11, the singer-songwriter shared a special video of her daughter-in-law having a natural home water birth. The footage showed Brody’s fiancé sitting in a blow-up pool while giving birth to their baby girl.

Following his first marriage, Brandon wed his current wife, Cayley Stoker (who was already pregnant), in 2020, and the couple welcomed their twin boys one month after their wedding.

After the birth, the baby girl was placed in her doting mom’s arms as her doting dad cradled his fiance’s shoulders and kissed her. The momentous event happened on July 29. Proud grandmother Thompson’s caption reads:

“…I feel so extraordinarily blessed, privileged and grateful to them that I was asked to be there for the labor and delivery…during this intense, spiritual, powerful & beautiful time…Little Honey Raye Jenner – you are already loved beyond measure!”

When people saw Thompson’s post, many congratulated her and the family on their beautiful new addition. Some even expressed that they got emotional watching the birth. American actress Susan Yeagley gushed:

“This is absolutely magical! Welcome to the world sweet Honey Raye!! What a beautiful name!!!”

Fans who complimented the baby are not the only ones enthralled with the little girl. Her loving grandmother posted a carousel of media showing off her adorable bond with baby Honey Raye.

Early last month, Thompson posted a series of photos of her holding onto her new granddaughter. As Thomspon delicately carries her grandbaby, she beams with love and pride.

Other photographs show the addition of Thomspon’s other grandchildren surrounding the baby while smiling. Another picture shows Thompson and her son, Brody, posing for the camera as she holds Honey Raye between them. One Instagram user commented:

“Absolutely adorable!!”

As mentioned before, Thompson and Caitlyn share sons, Brandon Jenner, 42, and Brody Jenner, 40. Like his mom, Brandon is a singer-songwriter born in Los Angeles on June 4, 1981.

He started performing as a duo with his first wife, Leah Jenner but went solo recently. He and Leah welcomed their daughter Eva James Jenner in 2015 and divorced after 14 years together.

Following his first marriage, Brandon wed his current wife, Cayley Stoker (who was already pregnant), in 2020, and the couple welcomed their twin boys one month after their wedding. Like their fellow famous step-siblings, the Kardashians, Brandon, and Brody had their own reality TV series in 2005.

Brody, who was born in Los Angeles in 1983 on August 21, is a reality TV personality. Outside of his appearances on “Keeping Up With the Kardashians,” Brody has also been seen on “The Hills.” Before his relationship with Tia Blanco started, he was previously married to Kaitlynn Carter.

Though Thompson and Caitlyn are not together anymore, they remain blessed with a beautiful family.

Additionally, though Caitlyn may have gone through a bit of a rough patch with her sons at some point, sources say they are in a much better place with regard to their relationships.

Many congratulate the family on the latest addition to the Jenner clan, baby Honey Raye.
