Before marrying Kris Jenner, Caitlyn Jenner was married twice. His first wife was Chrystie Crownover, who never stopped supporting her during her transformation.
When Bruce Jenner announced that he wanted to assume his transidentity and bear the name of Caitlyn Jenner, he received the support of the entire Kardashian clan, Kanye West, numerous personalities, fans (who witnessed his moving announcement and his transformation in front of the cameras in keeping up with the Kardashians), but also his first two wives. Linda Thompson, his second wife, who was married for three years to Bruce Jenner and gave him two children, Brandon and Brody, but also Chrystie Crownover, his first wife, alongside whom he became the dad of Burt and Cassandra (also known as Casey).
After the revelation of Caitlyn Jenner, the first wife of the former athlete had confided in an exclusive interview with Good Morning America to explain that she supported her ex-husband, that she had been the first person to whom Kim Kardashian’s stepfather had confided in his transgender identity. While facing the camera: “It’s a gift he gave me. I never said anything. I was waiting for him to be ready.” Proof of the great trust that exists between Caitlyn Jenner and her former companion.
Chrystie Crownover: how did Cailtyn Jenner meet her?
During the 1976 Olympic Games, Caitlyn Jenner (who at the time was still known as Bruce Jenner) became a legend by winning the gold medal in the decathlon. This is when America who crowns him as “greatest athlete in the world”, discovers the face of Chrystie Crownover, sitting in the stands and supporting her man with his gaze during his consecration. At the material time, she had been his girlfriend since college, and together they were married in 1972. In 1978, the couple welcomed their first child, Burt. Then in 1980, Cassandra (alias Casey) will point the tip of her nose. Their marriage ended in 1981 but they will remain good friends. A few years later, after a second marriage, he will meet Kourtney’s mother, Khloé, Rob and Kim Kardashian: together they will have two daughters: Kylie and Kendall Jenner.
