Welcome to the world: Dad first shared the exciting news via Instagram as he revealed his newborn daughter, Honey Raye Jenner, was born on Saturday, July 29
‘Mom and baby are perfectly healthy. We are so incredibly in love and cherish this precious time together as a family. We want to thank everyone for all the love and support,” he wrote with a video in which his bride-to-be gives birth to their daughter.
‘I really had no idea. And when we got into this relationship, Tia was the absolute perfect person,” he gushed. ‘She’s my better half. She’s the most incredible woman I’ve met in my entire life.’
He continued, “I think the universe is doing things the way it’s supposed to. She was the perfect person for me. We were pregnant very quickly. I know we’ve only been together for a year, but she’s the right one and I know it with all my heart.’
The footage gave fans a behind-the-scenes look at the past nine months as they prepared for their family’s newest addition.
Jenner went on to say that he is most excited about doing things “different” than his father did when he was growing up.
“You know, growing up, I didn’t have the best relationship with then-Bruce (Caitlyn Jenner),” he explained. “He wasn’t really with me growing up, so I think he did the exact opposite and was the absolute best dad I could be. ‘
In June, Caitlyn Jenner’s son proposed to the professional surfer.
The couple was at an event with family and friends when he popped the question.
In the video, the reality TV star said, “I just want to thank you all for coming here. Appreciate it very much. I love you all,” he gushed, adding, “Wait, one more thing, one more thing.”
Jenner then got down on one knee and took a diamond ring from his pocket.

Swirling romance: The engagement came five months after the couple announced that the Orange County, California native was pregnant
Jenner was first linked to Tia in April 2022. The two allegedly met while they were each surfing in Hawaii.
They confirmed their relationship status in May 2022 via a sweet Instagram post that featured a photo of them both with the Bromances alum’s dog.
The engagement came five months after the couple announced that the Orange County, California native was pregnant.
“To kick off this new year, we’d like to take the opportunity to wish all our friends, family and followers health, happiness and an abundance of love,” they wrote in a joint Instagram video.
“We really appreciate and love you all. We are delighted to share with you the blessing of a new life in the new year.”
The child will be his mother’s mother Linda Thompson’s fourth grandchild and that of Caitlyn Jenner, 73, 21st.
The ex-spouses share Brandon Jenner’s 42, three children, Eva, eight, and twins Sam and Bo, two.
Caitlyn is also grandfather to Kylie Jenner’s two children, Stormi, five, and Aire, 16 months, as well as Cassandra Jenner and Burt Jenner’s children.
The multiple children of Kim Kardashian, Khloé Kardashian, Rob Kardashian and Kourtney Kardashian also contribute to the number of grandchildren, albeit as a former step-grandfather.
