Kendall and Kylie Jenner 'ditch' half-brother Brody's wedding
Kendall and Kylie Jenner were reportedly invited to their half-brother Brody Jenner's wedding to Tia Blanco, but the sisters supposedly decided to skip
This weekend, notable reality stars Kendall and Kylie Jenner were nowhere to be found at their half-brother Brody Jenner's nuptials with Tia Blanco.
A source confided to TMZ that despite receiving invites to the ceremony held at Brody's mom Linda Thompson's residence in Malibu, both Jenners decided to bow out. "They thought their presence would take the spotlight away from the happy couple," the source revealed, clarifying there were no underlying issues among the siblings.
Kylie seemed to verify she wasn't there by sharing snaps of her yacht getaway in Greece on social media. A video showed her swaying in a robe and towel alongside her seven-year-old, Stormi Webster. On the other hand, Kendall did not comment on the wedding but was likewise absent. The duo had previously made appearances at Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez's esteemed wedding in Venice last month.

Brody tied the knot with 28 year old surf pro Tia Blanco in a gathering of about 70 guests. The star of The Hills donned a tuxedo for his big day, while Tia wore a lace dress with long sleeves.
Their one-year-old Honey wasn't photographed at the event.
Among the attendees was Brody's father, Caitlyn Jenner, previously wed to Linda Thompson from 1981 to 1986. Caitlyn is the parent to both Brody and his elder sibling Brandon with Thompson, and has two more children, Burt Jenner and Cassandra Marino, from a previous marriage to Chrystie Scott. Kendall and Kylie are Caitlyn's daughters from her third marriage to the Kardashian family's matriarch, Kris Jenner.
Caitlyn's presence at the ceremony marked a notable moment given the past tensions in her relationship with Brody.

Brody disclosed earlier this year on Special Forces: World's Toughest Test that he received a long-awaited apology from his father. "It was the first time in my life that I've ever gotten an apology," he recounted. "You know, 'I'm sorry for not being there.'"
Despite the emotional distance, Brody insists that there's no bad blood between him and his high-profile siblings. He commented on his relationship with the Kardashian-Jenner family during a January instalment of The Viall Files podcast, affirming, "I love 'em all," Brody remarked. "Love 'em all to death. I just don't see them."
He explained that their lack of frequent interaction was due to their separate living situations growing up and not because of any personal issues. "It's not their fault, it's not my fault, it's not really anybody's fault," he clarified. "It's just, yeah, they don't live that far, but we lived in two different households growing up."
Brody went on to say that although he and his sisters may not be the kind to talk daily, he always has their backs. "If Kylie or Kendall call me right now, I would walk out of this room and pick up the phone and I'd be there for them," he said.
