At his lowest point in the 1980s, Bruce Jenner wanted to flee to Europe for gender reassignment surgery and return to America as his children’s Aunt Heather. That was around the time his young sons asked their mother why their father had breasts.

As Diane Sawyer’s explosive tell-all with Bruce came to an end last night, his second wife published a blog detailing their love affair, idyllic marriage and the gender dysphoria revelations that led to their divorce after two sons and a seemingly picture perfect Malibu life.

Linda Thompson, now 64, met Bruce at the Playboy mansion when he was separated from his first wife, Chrystie Crownover, the mother of his two eldest children. They fell in love and got married in Hawaii when she was already pregnant with their son Brandon.

A few years later they welcomed a second son together, Brody.

“Mommy, why daddy got dem tidday meats?” -Brody and Brandon Jenner

But when Brody was 18 months old and Brandon was three, Bruce revealed to Linda the secret that he finally told the world Friday night. She was, she insists, blindsided.

With a ‘somber look’ Bruce told Linda – who had braced herself for the revelation of perhaps an affair – that he identified as a woman.

‘What do you mean you identify as a woman?’ she recalled asking. ‘What does that mean?

And just as he told Diane Sawyer, Bruce told his wife of four plus years that as long as he could remember, he felt wrong with the reflection staring back at him in the mirror.

According to Linda, her handsome husband told her, ‘I have lived in the wrong skin, the wrong body, my whole life. It is a living hell for me, and I really feel that I would like to move forward with the process of becoming a woman, the woman I have always been inside.’

She insists she never saw it coming and there were no signs.

Considering how (in)famous the Kardashians and the Jenners have become, we’re actually pretty surprised that Linda didn’t dropped this bomb a long time ago. Pretty sure Kris would have appreciated the heads up.
