Jenner shares her eldest daughter with her first wife, Chrystie Scott, whom she married in 1972, back when she was former Olympic champion, Bruce Jenner. The ex-couple welcomed their son Burt before adding Cassandra to the family. According to a documentary on Caitlyn's life, she separated from her first wife when the latter was pregnant with Cassandra. She has already moved on to dating her second wife at the time and had very little to do with raising Cassandra. They formally dissolved their marriage in 1981.
Who is Cassandra Marino?
Cassandra Marino was born Cassandra Jenner on June 10, 1980, and is also known as Casey. As a child, she spent much of her time in Los Angeles, California. Little is known about the 39-year-old’s professional life, as she keeps away from the public eye. According to her Instagram account, she is obsessed with houses and chronicles her construction adventures on her page.
She is married to Michael Marino and they share three children together; two daughters Isabella, Francesca, and a son called Luke. It is not known when or where they got married. They have chosen to keep their private life under wraps.
There was a time when Cassandra did not speak to Caitlyn. Although they still have “work to do," Cassandra has admitted her relationship with her parent has largely improved, since Caitlyn’s transition. Speaking to People magazine in 2016, she explained: “My relationship with Caitlyn is much better than with Bruce, but we still have a lot of work to do. We didn't talk for years, and now we see each other every couple of weeks and talk on the phone, which I am grateful for. She is trying harder and there is a softness to Caitlyn that is new to me.”

After several months of dating, Jenner and her third wife, Kris Kardashian, eventually made their union official in 1991. Caitlyn became a stepparent to the media personality's daughters, Kim, Khloe and Kourtney, as well as her son Robert, upon their marriage. They welcomed two children named Kendall and Kylie in 1995 and 1997, respectively.
