Weddings are often an opportunity to bring together those that life has distant. Suspended moments, between reunion and symbols, where we observe as much who is there … as that is not.
Why did Kendall & Kylie declined the invitation?
Contradictorily to their noticed presence at the wedding of Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez at the end of June, Kendall and Kylie declined the official invitation of their half-brother Brody Jenner, who married on July 12 in Malibu.
Officially, the sisters mentioned “previous commitments”, even the desire not to “steal the show” to the couple.
The absence of the two stars, however very present in the media sphere, quickly gave birth to speculation. Between personal obligations and the desire for discretion, hypotheses have multiplied in American tabloids.
A respectful strategy or a calculated gesture?
According to a loved one, their absence was “a mark of respect” so as not to transform an intimate ceremony into a media event.
A source said that Kendall and Kylie “like a good marriage”, but estimated that they could have stolen attention to the couple: “They realized that that day should be dedicated to Brody and Tia, so they chose not to come. »»
But behind the scenes, some see it as a more calculated maneuver. Their decision, taken well upstream, would also have taken into account that few cameras would be present, making the event less publicized than another Hollywood marriage.
Brody, for his part, would not have expressed publicly bitterness. However, the family context would have weighed heavier than expected.
“Bad Blood” and transgenerational tensions
The backdrop of this absence seems anchored in old tensions. A source close to the family points to the long-standing conflict between Kris Jenner, mother of Kendall and Kylie, and Linda Thompson, ex-partner of Caitlyn Jenner and mother of Brody.
“Linda has a lot to say about Kris and Vice Versa … It was hell for years, and this drama has rejuvenated on children,” said a source relayed by Cosmopolitan.
This animosity would have influenced family ties, with repercussions to this union celebrated in discretion.
Brody himself would have badly experienced certain past absences of his half-sisters, especially during important family moments, such as his 30th anniversary. Kylie, in particular, would have felt marginalized, considering being more part of the Kardashian clan than the Jenner clan.
A relative of the clan even confides: “Kylie grew up in a very different universe. She was never close to Brody. As for Kendall, she would not have wished to feed any tension on site.
