Linda Thompson's Heartfelt Altar for Brody Jenner: A Mother's Love Revealed!

Meanwhile, Brody Jenner took part in the Special Forces: World’s Toughest Test, his mother, Linda Thompson, was facing a challenge of her own.

I, as a lifestyle enthusiast, made it a daily practice to send positive vibes and prayers for Brody’s wellbeing last year, during his time on the show where renowned celebrities endure rigorous training under a former military squad.

In a conversation with Us Weekly, as reported on March 4, Linda, aged 74, shared that she had set up an alter in her home, adorned with his photographs and various religious candles. Every day, she would light these candles, silently praying, “God, please bring him back home.

Despite Brody, aged 41, returning home safely and triumphing in the final challenge alongside Kayla Nicole, a media personality who used to date Travis Kelce, Linda remained apprehensive as she waited to see if ‘The Hills’ alum had suffered any injuries during filming.

She clarified that during the incident, one of the men suffered a broken nose, and Carey Hart sustained injuries as well. They both got hurt quite badly. It’s no laughing matter. I was extremely concerned about it. I knew he made it home safely, but due to a non-disclosure agreement, he couldn’t share specific details about how he was injured with us.

Initially, Linda, who is Brody and Brandon’s (age 43) mother, previously shared with Caitlyn Jenner, asked her youngest son not to participate in the show.

As a lifestyle advisor, I find myself often in situations where tough decisions need to be made. In this instance, I confessed, “I suggested selling my Apple stocks and using the funds for an investment opportunity. However, it’s ultimately your choice whether to proceed or not.” The thought of making such a move had me on edge, because I’ve watched enough reality shows to know that they can be ruthless. It’s no laughing matter; the contestants are put through their paces, and what we see on screen is merely a glimpse of the challenges they face. He echoed my sentiments, stating that it was an intense experience he wouldn’t want to repeat.

Ever since Brody returned home, he’s been devoting his time to his fiancée Tia Blanco and their 19-month-old daughter, Honey Raye Jenner.

Initially unsure about having children because of his complicated relationship with Caitlyn, Brody now realizes that his life has unfolded exactly as it was destined to.

In an August 2023 YouTube video, he admitted, “I wasn’t certain if I could father children. To be truthful, I was clueless about that,” he confessed. “Entering this relationship, Tia was flawlessly suited for me. She is my perfect match. She is the most extraordinary woman I’ve ever encountered in my lifetime, and I believe the cosmos sets things up as they should.
