Speaking to PEOPLE at the One805LIVE! charity event in Los Angeles shortly after Dolly’s arrival, Thompson expressed her excitement about the new addition to the family. “Brody loves being a girl dad”, she stated, highlighting his affection towards his daughters. Thompson quipped that if Brody were to have ten daughters, he would be more than content. “He loves being surrounded by his little girls, and they adore him,” she added.
Brody Jenner, at 43 years of age, and his 29-year-old wife announced Dolly’s birth on social media, revealing that Tia endured an “intense, medicated labour” to bring their daughter into the world. Thompson provided insights into their adjustment to parenting a newborn, noting the challenges of sleep deprivation that come with a newborn’s feeding routine. “They’re not getting much sleep. You know, newborn babies need to eat every four hours,” she remarked.
Celebrating the arrival of her sixth grandchild, Thompson humorously noted her current role in the family. “It’s funny, my primary career right now is babysitting,” she joked, adding that her songwriting royalties are what keep her financially afloat during this time of family support.
In a heartwarming Instagram post, Thompson shared images of herself cradling her newborn granddaughter, reflecting her overwhelming joy as a grandmother. She wrote, “Another precious angel has entered the world and her name is Dolly!” The post included praises for Honey, who she described as “the best big sister,” and commended Tia for her strength during childbirth. “What a woman!” Thompson exclaimed, expressing her gratitude for the new family member.
Thompson’s joy is further heightened by the broader scope of her family. Brody and his elder brother Brandon, 45, are both children from Thompson’s previous relationship with Caitlyn Jenner, who also has a substantial extended family including step-siblings Kendall and Kylie Jenner. Brandon himself has four children, with varied ages adding more excitement to Thompson’s grandmother duties.
The One805LIVE! event that Thompson attended aimed to support first responders in Santa Barbara County, affirming her commitment to community aid. “It’s so important to respect and to assist the people who come into our communities, risk their lives and their well-being to help us,” she explained, citing her experiences during past fire seasons in Malibu.
Thompson noted that she has had to evacuate her home multiple times due to wildfires, stating, “It’s just really important to be there for those who come in and risk their lives to protect our homes and us.” Her dedication to both family and community underscores the values she wishes to impart to her grandchildren.
As Brody Jenner embarks on this new chapter of parenthood with Tia and their daughters, the family seems to be thriving, filled with love and support from one another. With Linda Thompson proudly showcasing her new role as a grandmother, the Jenner family continues to grow in both numbers and affection, while also contributing positively to their community.
As the family adjusts to their new circumstances, Dolly’s arrival has certainly brought joy and a sense of renewal to the Jenner household, bridging generations with love and laughter.
