LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Brody Jenner, who recently welcomed his baby girl with his fiancee Tia Blanco, wants to have a different kind of relationship with his newborn, unlike Caitlyn Jenner. The TV personality aspires to hold a close bond with the baby and shared her thoughts in a YouTube video shared by his fiancee Tiarah ‘Tia’ Blanco’ on Friday, August 11.

The 39-year-old TV personality shared that the couple are ‘absolutely thrilled’ to have a baby and praised her partner. “She’s going to be the best mom. And hopefully I can just be the absolute best father and be there for all these incredible events in her life. I just can’t wait to meet her.”

Why Brody Jenner wants to be 'exact opposite' kind of parent as Caitlyn Jenner?

“I think that what I’m most excited about is doing things differently than my father did,” The Hills: New Beginnings star said.

He continued, “Growing up, I didn’t have the greatest relationship with then Bruce” — now known as Caitlyn Jenner — [Caitlyn] wasn’t really around for me growing up. So, I think that… just doing the exact opposite, being the absolute best father I can possibly be and getting ready for the journey [is what I want].”
