Linda and Bruce back in the day |
64 year old Thompson is the mother to his children Brandon Jenner, 33, and Brody Jenner, 31. In her Memoir, she said looking back at their time together there were no clues that Bruce was questioning his identity because he was very confident and seemed comfortable in his own skin, hence was shocked when he made a confession.

She said he confessed to her when Brody was about 18-months-old and Brandon was about 3-and-a-half-years-old. "Bruce came to me one day with a very somber look on his face and said, 'There's something about me that I really need to tell you, something you need to know,'"
Thompson shared her shock when Jenner admitted to identifying as a woman, and questioned him extensively. "Bruce lamented, 'I have lived in the wrong skin, the wrong body, my whole life. It is a living hell for me, and I really feel that I would like to move forward with the process of becoming a woman, the woman I have always been inside,'" she said.
Linda confessed that she tried to fix him because she thought he was only going through a phase so suggested therapy but it didn't help the situation, so after 6 months of therapy, they separated.
She explained that even though she kept his secret she still loved him nonetheless.
A Kardashian insider said that while Kris was aware of Bruce's female
tendencies, she, like Linda believed it was a phase as well.
Thompson's further stated: 'Bruce has always had my loyalty, even if he
wasn't aware of it. I support his courage and commitment to this new
chapter of his life. My hope is that his transition will inspire others
who struggle with their identities, and my prayer is that humanity has
evolved and been educated enough to exercise kindness toward those we
may perceive as 'different.''
Kris Jenner, Bruce's last wife who is the mother to models Kendall
Jenner 19 and Kylie Jenner 17, still hasn't said much in regards to his
transition, well, apart from her single sentence tweet.
Bruce Jenner was married to Chrystie from 1972 to 1981. Married to Linda
from 1981 to 1986 then to Kris Kardashian Jenner from 1991 to 2015.
