The Kardashian-Jenner family tree is growing another branch. Brody Jenner and his wife, professional surfer Tia Blanco, have announced they’re expecting their second child together. The Brody Jenner baby announcement arrived via Instagram on March 7, featuring a series of intimate beach photos that captured the growing family’s joy. Their daughter, Honey, born in July 2023, will become a big sister this September.
The photos tell the story without words. Blanco stands on the sand, cradling her visible baby bump while two-year-old Honey leans in to press a kiss against her mother’s belly. Beside them, Jenner kisses his wife’s cheek while holding a sonogram image toward the camera, a visual confirmation of the life growing inside her.
“Our little Honey is going to be a big sister this September ❤️,” Jenner captioned the post, keeping the message simple but the emotion undeniable. The couple, who tied the knot in an intimate Malibu ceremony last summer after welcoming Honey, chose the beach setting deliberately, a nod to Blanco’s surfing career and their shared love of the ocean.
Within hours, the Tia Blanco pregnant second child news drew responses from across the famous family. Kylie Jenner dropped white heart emojis in the comments. Kim Kardashian added a red heart of her own. But the most touching reaction came from Jenner’s mother, Linda Thompson, who wrote that she “can hardly wait to hold another little baby Jenner.”
Brody’s older brother Brandon Jenner celebrated with an enthusiastic “Wooohooooo!!!!” while fans flooded the post with congratulations. The response reflects how far Jenner has come since his earlier struggles with family dynamics and relationships.
Those who’ve followed Jenner’s journey recognize the significance. In past interviews, he’s spoken openly about Caitlyn Jenner’s absence during his childhood and his determination to break that pattern. With Honey and now a second child on the way, he’s building exactly what he said he wanted, a present, engaged fatherhood.
“I got really lucky,” Jenner told PEOPLE about his marriage last year. “Tia has just been my savior. She’s such an incredible mom and partner. I’m glad that I held out and waited and was able to find the right person to start a family with.”
The family prepares to expand just as Honey approaches her third birthday. Friends describe the couple as intentional about growing their family while maintaining the laid-back California lifestyle that defines them. For Blanco, pregnancy means temporarily stepping back from competitive surfing. For Jenner, it means another chance to show up differently than the examples he grew up with.
September can’t arrive soon enough.
