Last year, Kaitlyn Jenner, 73, made an appearance on the British reality TV show 'I'm a Celebrity... Get me Out of Here' where she joined other celebrities in taking on the challenges of the Australian Jungle. 

During her run on the show, the former Olympian got candid about her relationship with her family following her transition in 2015. 

Jenner is currently relishing life a bit more due to her wonderful grandchildren. During the show, she revealed she was expecting to have 20 grandchildren by December 2019. This total includes grandchildren from her children and stepchildren across all three of her marriages. These 20 delights call her “Boom Boom.” It’s a fun name they invented and found easy to pronounce.

Ever since her transition, which she went public with in 2015, Jenner explained she was committed to openly and honestly addressing her children’s concerns. When one of them asked what to call her, she replied, “Dad.”

“My kids all call me Dad,” the 73-year-old revealed. “Kendall asked me first and I said ‘Dad,’ I’m your dad and I’ll always be your dad till the day I die.”

“But what they’re really good at which shocks me all the time is when they’re talking about me, ‘My dad she … ‘ and it’s tough to change the pronoun in the middle of it,” she added.

Jenner went on to say that she never wanted her children to feel uncomfortable about their time with her before her transition when she was still Bruce. “Bruce raised them, and Caitlyn is enjoying their life with them,” she said.

Caitlyn has had six children from three marriages and many stepchildren.
