Caitlyn Jenner was a huge figure in Khloe Kardashian’s life for decades – and when previously known as Bruce Jenner – a doting stepfather to her growing up.
The I Am Cait star reflected on their close bond in a heartfelt message posted on Instagram to mark Khloe’s 39th birthday on Tuesday.
Caitlyn chose a picture of Khloe on her wedding day to Lamar Odom – taken back in 2009 – to mark the occasion on social media.
The photo was framed in Caitlyn’s home among various other family snapshots. In the caption, the star wrote: “Happy birthday @khloekardashian Being your stepfather was, and is, one of the best things that I was ever blessed with by your mother.
“I promised your father that I would do my best to always be there for you kids and I know I haven’t been perfect but I will always love you and you are forever in my heart. I hope your day is filled with love, your kids, and happiness.”
Caitlyn’s fans were quick to comment on the post, and photo choice, with one writing: “This is lovely,” while another wrote: “I love the relationship we saw on TV between you and Khloe.” A third added: “This was a very sweet message.”
