Linda Thompson Reflects on Her Time with Caitlyn Jenner in Nostalgic Photos
In a recent Instagram post, Linda Thompson shared a carousel of photos featuring her ex-husband, Caitlyn Jenner, formerly known as Bruce. Reflecting on the positive influences in her life, Thompson captioned the photos with a thoughtful message about gratitude and learning from her time with an Olympic champion.
The photos depict Caitlyn Jenner long before her reality TV fame, showcasing her athletic prowess as the gold medalist of the 1976 Summer Olympics in Montreal. At the time, Caitlyn was married to Chrystie Scott before divorcing in 1981 and then marrying Thompson in the same year. The couple went on to have two sons, Brandon and Brody Jenner, before parting ways in 1986.
The images capture the former couple in classic 1980s athletic wear, with Thompson sporting a unitard and leg warmers while Jenner dons a matching shirt and shorts set. Fans in the comments praised Thompson’s beauty and style, with many referring to her as a “total babe.”
Thompson, a songwriter, revealed in the post that her experiences with Jenner and memories of the Olympic games inspired her to write lyrics for Celine Dion’s song “The Power of the Dream,” which became the theme song for the 1996 Olympics.
Since her time with Thompson, Caitlyn went on to marry Kris Jenner and became a stepfather to Kourtney, Kim, Khloé, and Rob Kardashian. She also shares daughters Kendall and Kylie with Kris Jenner. Prior to her marriage with Thompson, Caitlyn had two children, Burt and Cassandra, with Chrystie Scott.
Thompson, known for her past relationship with Elvis Presley, often shares throwback photos of her life with the legendary musician. She also documents life with her grandchildren, as Brandon and Brody are now parents themselves. Brody, who appeared on MTV’s “The Hills,” recently announced that he and his wife are expecting their second child.
The visual journey through Thompson’s past with Caitlyn Jenner offers a glimpse into a unique chapter in both of their lives, showcasing the strength and resilience that comes from embracing positive influences and nostalgic memories.
