"We talk all the time," Brody, 41, told a reporter. "I even texted Caitlyn after I watched the episode. I'm like, 'Hey Dad, just so you know, there's this stuff.' But, we're in a good place."

Brody recalled that after Caitlyn moved on with Kris, he would still randomly see his parent "here and there," but the Olympian never even did as much as call him on his birthday.

"I had an incredible mother. Father, Bruce, at the time, wasn't around that much. They split, and then he met a woman. She had kids as well. The woman that he met ... they had kids together," he explained without naming Kris.

Now that all is said and done, Brody revealed he sees his up and down relationship with Caitlyn as a "positive" thing since it helped him become a great dad to his daughter, Honey, 1, whom he shares with fiancée Tia Blanco.

"She wasn't around for me growing up that much. I still saw her sometimes, she wasn’t completely absent, but I still say I definitely am going to be much more present as a father, and it taught me to be that, so I'm grateful for it," he explained in an interview.

Brody proved he was on great terms with Caitlyn by inviting her to Honey's birthday party, with Linda posting family photos of the blended brood smiling together.
