Caitlyn Jenner shares emotional birthday tribute to Khloe Kardashian

Caitlyn Jenner is reflecting on parenthood for Khloé Kardashian's birthday!

On Tuesday, the Olympic gold medallist, 73, wished her former stepdaughter — who had turned 39 — a happy birthday in an emotional tribute on Instagram.

“Happy birthday @khloekardashian Being your stepfather was, and is, one of the best things that I was ever blessed with by your mother,” began Jenner’s post.

She continued, “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. 💕.”

The message was written alongside a snapshot of a silver framed photo that showed Jenner posing with Kardashian during her 2009 wedding to former NBA star Lamar Odom. Jenner walked Kardashian down the aisle on her big day, which took place at family friend Irving Azoff's Beverly Hills mansion.

Jenner also shared another throwback photo — a framed picture of Kardashian and her daughter Kendall Jenner — on her Instagram Story and added the same birthday message.

Kardashian reposted the photo and message to her own Instagram Story and wrote, “I love you!!!!!!! 💕,” in response. The Good American co-founder’s mom Kris Jenner married Caitlyn in April 1991, the month after Kris’ divorce from attorney Robert Kardashian was finalized. Kris and Caitlyn were married for 24 years before their divorce was finalized in 2015.
