Ever since the Kardashian-Jenner family became a reality TV empire, fans have been fascinated by their love lives and how many children they all have. On top of that, Kardashian-Jenner fans tend to love hearing about how rich the family is thanks to all of their business empires. Most of all, many Kardashian-Jenner fans love following the gossip and drama that surrounds the family.

Of course, it is easy to imagine that following all of that drama would be a lot more fun from the outside looking in. With that in mind, it makes sense that Brody Jenner revealed why he wanted to move past all the drama.

This article will reveal why Brody Jenner said he no longer wants to deal with his extended family's drama. Then, the article will look at whether Brody Jenner is close to his famous sisters.

Brody Jenner Was Sick Of His Famous Sisters' Constant Drama

As anyone who has followed the Kardashian-Jenner family will already know, the clan has millions of devoted fans. After all, Keeping Up With the Kardashians was very successful for years and The Kardashians has kept that going. Of course, that is to say nothing about the many other Kardashian-Jenner reality show spin-offs that have been successful.

However, it also is no secret that the Kardashian-Jenner family also has a lot of detractors. Many of those critics have argued that the Kardashian-Jenner family is overly dramatic and they haven't done enough to earn their fame.

While those arguments ignore how shrewd the Kardashian-Jenners sisters all are, many people believe them. Still, it is shocking that Brody Jenner once made a very similar argument about his extended family members.

In 2016, Brody Jenner was interviewed by Closer magazine, as an article from Yahoo! News revealed. During the resulting conversation, Brody Jenner made a statement that likely caught almost all of his fans by surprise.

When were the famous Kardashian-Jenner siblings born from oldest to youngest, according to Famous Birthdays?

Even though he had been in a lot of tabloid headlines, Brody Jenner stated he was sick of the Kardashian-Jenner family's constant drama. As a result, Brody Jenner decided that he wanted to distance himself from his famous siblings.

“I’m sick of the Kardashians’ drama and I want to distance myself from the family."

Still not through, Brody Jenner went on to question the main thing that his famous sisters are known for. More specifically, Brody Jenner said there was something wrong with being a reality TV star.

"Growing up on reality TV isn’t normal. I’ve grown out of it now and am quitting it for good. It’s time to settle down and have kids and I can’t wait.”

By 2016, it was fascinating to learn that Brody Jenner was calling out the concept of growing up on reality TV. After all, Brody Jenner owed his fame to the list of reality shows he'd starred in before 2016.

Even though Brody Jenner remarked that he couldn't wait to leave reality TV behind and become a father in 2016, that didn't happen for years. As People reported, Brody Jenner and his wife Tiarah "Tia" Blanco welcomed their first child, their daughter Honey Raye Jenner, on July 29, 2023.

The list of reality shows that Brody Jenner starred or appeared in by 2016 already was long. That list included The Princes of Malibu, The Hills, Bromance, Kourtney and Kim Take New York, Keeping Up with the Kardashians, and I Am Cait.

Of course, someone could star in a reality show, come to believe they are toxic, and regret it. However, years after 2016, Brody Jenner went on to star in The Hills: New Beginnings.

During Brody Jenner's conversation with Closer magazine, he also spoke about the state of his relationships with his sisters. As Brody Jenner explained, his life was separate from the Kardashian-Jenner sisters.

“That’s the one thing that people don’t really understand is that we live two completely separate lives. And everybody ties us in together as the Kardashians and the Jenners."

Still not through, Brody Jenner pointed out that he wasn't technically related to some of his famous sisters anymore. "Now what’s interesting is they got a divorce right, so they’re not even technically part of my family anymore.”

Is Brody Jenner Close To His Famous Sisters In 2024?

In the years since Kirs Jenner and Caitlyn Jenner originally got married, there have been a lot of reports about family in-fighting. As a result, there has been a lot of interest in whether Brody Jenner gets along with his sisters. In April 2022, The List published an article about Brody Jenner's relationships with his sisters which cited multiple sources.

In addition to the aforementioned time Brody Jenner spoke about wanting to distance himself from his sisters, The List's article chronicled another time there was tension. After Brody Jenner refused to attend Kim Kardashian and Kanye "Ye" West's wedding because his girlfriend at that time wasn't invited. Brody Jenner also spoke out about his anger.

Kim Kardashian later spoke to People about Brody Jenner's complaints. In 2019, Kim Kardashian stated that she didn't understand why Brody Jenner was still complaining about the wedding that took place in 2014. However, Kim Kardashian also spoke about loving Brody Jenner amid her confusion.

"I don't know why Brody is still talking about this. We were very strict about our wedding. There were less than 200 people there. Everyone else respected that – it's not a big deal. We love our stepbrothers. It just seems like they are always talking about this divide,"

In May 2022, Us Weekly published an article about Brody Jenner's relationship with his sisters at that time. That article cited an insider who said that although they aren't together often, the siblings all get along. There is no indication that anything has changed in general since then.

“There is no bad blood between the siblings at all. Brody and Brandon are supportive of the Jenners [and] Kardashians even if they’re not physically seen together all the time. Everyone has their own busy life. They live in the same town so they run into each other and sometimes even see each other at events."

The insider continued, "It’s not like they would ever avoid each other if they’re in the same room. They’re not obviously as close as they were when Kendall and Kylie were younger, but that happens in life – people grow apart. But everything is good now, everyone’s on good terms.”
