Caitlyn Marie Jenner (born William Bruce Jenner; October 28, 1949), formerly known as Bruce Jenner, is an American media personality and retired Olympic gold medal-winning decathlete.\n

Jenner played college football for the Graceland Yellowjackets before incurring a knee injury that required surgery. Convinced by Olympic decathlete Jack Parker's coach, L. D. Weldon, to try the decathlon, Jenner had a six-year decathlon career, culminating in winning the men's decathlon event at the 1976 Summer Olympics in Montreal,^[1]^[2] setting a third successive world record and gaining fame as \"an all-American hero\".^[3] Jenner established a career in television, film, writing, auto racing, business, and as a Playgirl cover model.^[4]\n

Jenner has six children with three successive wives – Chrystie Crownover, Linda Thompson, and Kris Jenner – and from 2007 to 2021 appeared on the reality television series Keeping Up with the Kardashians with Kris, their daughters Kendall and Kylie Jenner, as well as Kris's other children from her previous marriage, Kourtney, Kim, Khlo\u00e9, and Rob Kardashian.\n

Jenner publicly came out as a trans woman in April 2015, announcing her new name in July of that year.^[5] From 2015 to 2016, she starred in the reality television series I Am Cait, which focused on her gender transition. At the time of her coming out, she had been called the most famous trans woman in the world.^[6]^[7] Jenner is a transgender rights activist,^[8]^[9]^[10] although her views on transgender issues have been criticized by many other LGBTQ+ activists.^[11]^[12]\n

A member of the Republican Party, Jenner ran in the 2021 California gubernatorial recall election, finishing 13th with one percent of the vote.^[13]^[14]^[15]^[16] Six months after the election, Jenner was hired by Fox News as an on-air contributor.^[17]\n
