Kylie and Kendall Jenner were noticeably absent from their half-brother Brody Jenner’s wedding—a decision that, according to insiders, had little to do with scheduling conflicts and more to do with longstanding family issues.
A source close to the Jenner-Kardashian clan revealed that the sisters “could have easily attended” the Malibu ceremony, which took place at the home of Brody’s mother, Linda Thompson, but chose not to.

The source explained that tensions between Kris Jenner and Linda Thompson have lingered for decades, influencing the dynamic between their children. “When the siblings tried to build a relationship, Brody often blamed Kris for everything,” the insider shared with The U.S. Sun.
These unresolved issues have reportedly made it difficult for Kylie and Kendall to maintain close bonds with their extended Jenner family. The strained relationship between Kris and Linda has, over time, trickled down to the younger generation.

While Kendall Jenner has made efforts in the past to connect with her father’s side of the family, Kylie reportedly feels distant from the Jenners. “Kylie has told friends she feels like a stranger in the Jenner family,” the source noted. “She doesn’t relate to them and sees herself more as a part of the Kardashian side.”
The sisters’ decision to skip the wedding was also reportedly motivated by their desire not to overshadow Brody and his bride, as previously reported by TMZ.
