Caitlyn was born October 28, 1949 as William Bruce Jenner. He trained intensively for decathlon while selling insurance to support his passion for sport. His biggest sports achievement is a gold medal from 1976 Olympics in Montreal. He later became famous through his marriage with Kris Jenner (born Kardashian) on a reality TV show Keeping Up With Kardashians. His marriage ended recently and the reason is most likely hi coming out as a transgender female. He made clear in the interview that he’s still attracted solely to women.
Career
Jenner got into decathlon after getting a knee injury as a footballer. The first event that Jenner took place in was the 1972 U .S Olympic trials, emerging fifth overall. At the Summer Olympics in 1972, Jenner finished in the tenth place. This was a big inspiration for Jenner, and the training was very much intense from then.

They have a son and a daughter. The second marriage was to actress Linda Thompson in 1981. The two also have two sons, but their love came to an end in 1986.
