Above is a photo that Caitlyn Jenner tweeted of her family together on Father’s Day. She wrote “Great day yesterday for Father's Day. We had so much fun off-roading. So much love and support! Love my family!”
Pictured above are Burt Jenner, Burt’s girlfriend Valerie Pitalo, Kim and Khloe Kardashian, Kendall Jenner, Kanye West with North, and Brandon and Leah Jenner. Kanye is smiling! Look at North’s little pink boots!
Many outlets are pointing out that this day is significant because it marks Caitlyn’s first Father’s Day after transitioning. Others have mentioned that only five of Caitlyn’s ten kids were there and that Kylie, Kourtney, Cassandra, Brody and Rob were noticeably absent. Of course Rob wouldn’t come, he’s been in hiding forever and is estranged from his family. Kylie reportedly spent the day with her inappropriately older boyfriend, Tyga, and Tyga’s son, King Cairo, 2. (King Cairo, really?! I’ve heard that name before but it still surprises me.)
Radar reports that Caitlyn understands why Kylie didn’t make it, but adds that Caitlyn “does not like Tyga and does not approve of this relationship.” Good. At least someone has some sense in that family. Plus Kylie tweeted and instagrammed messages to her dad.
Gotta make it home in time for Father's Day 🎉

That photo is precious! Kylie is especially adorable with her little pigtails in red bows and gingham dress.
Kendall posted this sweet message.
Supposedly Kourtney didn’t come because she’s still shielding her kids from Caitlyn and is afraid that Caitlyn will confuse them. Kourtney said as much on KUWTK, but her partner and children’s father, Scott Disick, was surprisingly cool with Caitlyn and didn’t agree with Kourtney about keeping the kids away from her. I hope it’s not true that Kourtney still thinks that way, but it’s hard to tell. Kourtney has enough time to post stomach selfies and recaps of KUWTK clips but she didn’t have one message on social media for her dad or for Scott on Father’s Day and that’s telling. (Update: TMZ reports that Kourtney had the flu. They also state that Brody had a DJ gig out of town.)
Khloe instagrammed this nice message to both her dads.
Kim tweeted messages to her late father, Robert Kardashian, and to Kanye. And of course that’s how she announced that she’s having a boy.
Also, Caitlyn recent tweeted Laverne Cox thanking her for her advocacy for the trans community. Laverne has been nothing but positive and thoughtful when speaking about Caitlyn, and you can tell Caitlyn appreciates it. I wish Caitlyn would have retweeted some of the awesome #WheresMyVanityFairCover posts but she seems to be very careful with her public image and maybe she didn’t want to wade into that debate. It doesn’t mean she’s not aware of or concerned about it.
.@LaverneCox, you are fierce and fabulous! Your support means the world. Thank you for all that you do for the community. #TransIsBeautiful

That big group picture is cute. Especially Kanye smiling with North. For the most part, I think the Kardashian-Jenners have handled having all this be very public decently well.
I agree. As much as I dislike the clan in general, they set a good example of love and acceptance in this case.
The messages are pretty sweet actually. And Kanye looks genuinely happy to be with them.
Anyone who thinks transgender people are delusional or unstable needs to explain to me why Caitlyn looks so much happier, healthier, and just overall more comfortable than Bruce could ever have hoped to be.
Not disputing your overall argument, but that top photo doesn’t exactly illustrate the point.
It may be sun in Caitlyn’s eyes and awkward posture, but she doesn’t look all that comfortable in the particular photo.
Kanye looks adorable, though.
kanye and adorable in the same sentence. wow!
Dress and heels, yep she’s definetely dressed for off-roading.
Yes call me Ms. KILLJOY but this is nothing more than a photo op to say look I am an involved parent and there for my kids. Look how happy we are.
Everyone’s smiling except North, she knows the truth.
Suzanne – I find your comment incredibly harsh. What’s with the he/she and his/her? SHE is now identified as female whether you like it or not. Try to keep an open mind.
I read somewhere that all the kids were there, including Rob. AND he was photographed. And he doesn’t look too good 🙁
I saw the photos on JJ.
OH I will check JJ and fix that then, thanks!
-Edit- That is JustJared’s interpretation of TMZ’s post, however TMZ never said that all the children were together. That seems to be inaccurate as all they reported were that kids from all 3 mothers were there, not all the kids. In fact TMZ later clarified that Kourtney had the flu and Brody was out of town on a gig. I’ll update with that.
Oh I must have seen it on Ig – my bad @Celebitchy. I don’t really like TMZ so I never see the news over there, but I assumed Rob’s pictures emerged because he was on his way back from the event. Oh well.
I saw many reports (on Instagram so probably not trustworthy at all), that he had all kids with him.
Thanks for clarifying!!
That pic of Rob was taken at an In and Out Burger. He was seen there with his friends. He has not lost a pound, in fact he looks even bigger. He really needs help.
No Brody? Boo.
She looks really different without all the Photoshop. Welcome to our world, Caitlyn.
Yup…
I was praising her plastic surgeon for such amazing work but the effect is certainly different without photoshop or makeup.
Seriously. This is what I was wondering most: how much of that Vanity Fair cover was really her or just lighting/Photoshop trickery? She comes right out of the gate, in her 60s, looking like a flawless angel (not saying she’s not pretty, but c’mon), hahah.
Oh, and “Caitlyn “does not like Tyga and does not approve of this relationship.”” – NICE PARENTING THERE, CAITLYN. Did you forget you’re still (presumably) a parent and therefore in charge? Kylie is still underage, no? So what happened to stepping in to put a halt to something not only inappropriate but probably illegal? The furthest it goes is “I disapprove”? Nobody is doing anything to help this child get away from a sexual predator? Why do people keep glossing over that fact or give Caitlyn and/or PMK an out over the possible violation of an underage girl, their own daughter?
The photographer, Annie Liebowitz, that VF used is infamous for photoshopping on top of clever use of lighting to make her subjects look completely unlike themselves. She’s practically an artist in this respect. She’s very definitely of the ‘more artifice the better’ school of imagery. I can’t remember the last time I saw a naturalistic image with attributed to her.
Actually, their other favourite photographer, Mario Testino, is also infamous for making his subjects look other worldly beautiful. Good old, excessive photoshop.
Maybe Caitlyn doesn’t feel it’s useful to make empty threats. Can’t really tell a 17 year old what to do, especially one who has her own mansion and pays all her own bills.
What’s so empty about threatening to get law enforcement involved, if indeed there is something unsavory about Kylie’s relationship with a grown man? Geez, did people honestly forget how to parent these days? You can’t be serious…
I read somewhere that the age of consent in California is 16, if true, there is nothing law enforcement or the parents can do.
I do not know how you could control a 17 yr old with their own money and wheels, impossible UNLESS you have parented them very closely and they listen to you out of respect. My guess is that she does’nt listen cause there is no respect.
I enjoy looking at pictures of Brody too. He is one beautiful man.
Kanye is SMILING!!!
I know. So much cuteness.
And North is wearing pink shoes!
He really ought to do that more; makes him so much easier to take.
My only womanly advice to Caitlyn would be that you don’t have to wear heels all the time. Especially when dune bugging.
And a white dress? ***eye roll***
Someone upthread commented that she looks uncomfortable. I would also be uncomfortable off-roading in that outfit!
I thought it was kind of silly that she’s wearing a white dress and heels while off-roading too, but I’m also assuming that she’s probably just so happy to wear those things out in public finally that she’ll wear them any opportunity she can, comfort be damned.
I figured she had just adopted the Kardashian trend of dressing inappropriately for whatever the situation.
everyone must have forgotten when they were a tweenager, finally growing into their curves/ womanly figure. i remember that time if i could swim in heels & dresses i would. my point is, as someone who just discovers her womanly body, let’s her have fun. we all know being a woman is a lot more than heels & dresses, but it’s part of the fun.
Oh wow I was the total opposite. I wore large t-shirts and jackets to hide my chest, and I’ve always hated heels. lol
Kanye’s got a great smile.
If only the Kardashian women could have just been there for the picture without the ridiculous poses. Plus it is so easy to see that Bruce-Caitlyn’s eldest daughter Cassie is really the best looking of all the people there.
Cassie is very pretty and has a rockin body.
Cassandra is a lot cuter than any of the “K” girls. Probably why Kris doesn’t have her on KUWTK’s.
That’s actually Burt’s girlfriend. They look exactly alike!
It’s 10 kids. Brody and Casey aren’t there.
5 out of 8? You mean 10. Brody and Caitlyn’s oldest daughter (forget her name) were also not there.
Fixed!
Caitlyn’s oldest daughter is standing right next to her. Six of his kids are there…four are not. The ones missing are Brody, Kylie, Kourtney, and Rob.
@word
I thought so too, but that’s not Casey. It’s Burt’s girlfriend. Casey is much taller and slimmer than the petite, curvy blonde standing next to Burt.
You know what happened when my parents didn’t approve of something?
It didn’t happen.
I imagine if I were Kylie I’d find myself waking up to my mom standing outside my door and my Dad picking me up to and from school. I’d probably hate it at the time but I’d be the better for not being a notch on the bedpost of a guy who’d been grooming me since I was 14
Weakly ‘disapproving’ is lame. Celebrating Father’s Day is fun Bruce, earn that celebration by keeping your kids safe and happy and not just checking out and moving on.
+10000000000000
Ya, when my parents didn’t disapprove, they didn’t let it happen-period.
Exactly what I posted above. I cannot believe this. Normal “disapproval” comes from not liking the low-cut top a 17yo is wearing, not that she’s cavorting around town with a sexual predator. Why is disapproving of Kylie’s relationship with this fool as far as it goes?
The only thing that make that child happy is her Frozen book bag, otherwise I’m sure she’s confused by her strange phony family and their antics.
Wait until that little boy comes a long and takes up all the attention. When North is older she’ll learn that her father was desperate to have a son. Why make that sh*t public when you know one day your daughter will learn her father was more interested in having a son. No wonder Kanye’s been around more for this pregnancy.
Now that Bruce is a woman, she’s still celebrating Father’s day?also her kids treat her as a father or a second mom?
I understand that when he had kids he was a man but know she’s a woman.
I am a little confused. Can someone explain this?
There aren’t any rules for this; families handle it however they want.
They’ll do it however they want to. It’s their family. As Kylie posted on her IG….She’ll always have her Dad.
I’m confused too. Now that she is a woman shouldn’t she be celebrating Mother’s Day not Father’s Day? I think she said she was a woman now.
From what I understand, she told them that she “will always be their dad” and that they should call her that (“dad”). So celebrating fathers day makes sense.
She still has kids. And if they want to celebrate father’s day, what do you care?
Kayne looks really good when he smiles.
Of course Kylie, was celebrating Father’s Day with her boyfriend who is a dad. *rolls eyes*
Where was Caitlyn oldest daughter?
Kanye should smile more often, he has a nice friendly and inviting smile. I still think he’s cuckoo don’t get me wrong, but his smile is nice 🙂
Rob seems to be the smartest one. He stays away from this toxic family.
I know I might be alone here but…I fully support Caitlyn and her decision to transition and be open about it because it’s her life and she should do what makes her happy because that is ALL that matters, but, I feel like if that’s the decision Kourtney has made in regards to her kids, no one has a place to say anything. She supports Caitlyn and is accepting but if she decides to wait with her kids and how to handle the situation, it’s her right. It doesn’t negate her feelings or support for Caitlyn.
+1
I agree Dani. Kort’s kids are still pretty little, and it could be confusing for them.
For all we know, they could be introducing them slowly, and things are progressing nicely.
Ok, first I have nothing against trans people.
That family pic highlights how much photoshop was used in the VF cover. Dang. In general, I wish they’d stop overdoing it. No one believes a 65 year old is wrinkle free.
Why are people making a big deal out of who came and who didn’t? Will everyone have to show up every time Caitlyn have something now? I know I don’t go to every thing I’m invited to, family or not. Why should it be any different in this case?
Does Kanye spend any time with his side of the family? He has a father too.
Caitlyn must be loving all this extra attention she’s finally getting from her kids. I remember watching their show and so many times Bruce would complain that his kids don’t make time for him. I know the older Jenner kids had a good excuse, they had hurt feelings and felt abandoned by him. But with the Kardashians though, I think this has more to do with wanting publicity. Kris Jenner is getting her karma served to her hard. Now she is the one being abandoned and feeling alone…or so it seems.
By the way, Cassandra is standing right next to Burt. She is there !
I feel the same way about why the Kardashian kids are suddenly all over Caitlyn. It could be genuine, but those girls don’t do anything without weighing the benefit to themselves.
Right now, Caitlyn = mega publicity = $$$$, so they will give her as much time of the day as she wants, or not want.
@ LAK
Exactly !
@ME that is Burt’s GF not Cassandra next to Caitlyn
So, impose your negative view of her parents on her… Low.
Yes because how can you be a father on father’s day and claim to be a woman- it doesn’t work that way- pick a side and stick to it!
LOL. True! Kaitlyn made such a big deal over being a woman and here she is now celebrating Father’s Day.
What’s your problem? She has been their father all of their lives. Why should they call her “mom” all of a sudden? It’s their dad now living as a female. Not more, not less.
Kanye seems to really light up when he’s with North.
I actually smiled seeing a smiling kayne. He def helped Kim accept it all and he looks so happy there with North, so no shade here.
We all know caitlyn wasn’t the best parent, but this is just really positive. I’ll rag on them some other day, but not today. Happy daddy day Kayne and Caitlyn!
Why does Kim pose like that? The leaning body, that stupid trout pout and the peace sign…? I’d kind of understand if Kylie did that, but Kim is twice her age. Ugh. Speaking of Kylie, DM she flew to Europe with Tigger. I don’t know how true this is, but if it is true, it will explain why she wasn’t at this family gathering.
ok I’m confused “fathers Day” ????? Should he not be celebrating mothers day instead now? Is it only me that notices how awkward he looks in womens clothes? I mean she.
Does it seem inappropriate to feature her off road vehicle in the Happy Family picture, when towing the ATV was part of the reason she gave for not being able to stop in time to keep from hitting the car in front of her in the fatal car crash? Insensitive to the grieving family?
