There’s a new baby in Jenner clan…and the surf world, too.
Pro surfer Tia Blanco and her fiancé, reality TV star and recreational surfer in his own right, Brody Jenner, have welcomed a baby girl, Honey Raye Jenner.
Check out the announcement post (and birthing video) below.
The couple captioned the post:
“We welcomed our baby girl, Honey Raye Jenner, to the world on July 29th ❤️ Momma and baby are in perfect health. We are so incredibly in love and have been cherishing this precious time together as a family. We want to thank everyone for all the love and support. 🙏🏼”
And it looks like, it was a water birth…fitting, no?
The surf world hopped in the comments to congratulate the couple:
“🙌🙌🙌 congrats brother!” – Aussie big-wave hellman, Mark Matthews
“❤️❤️” – Mavericks charger, Luca Padua
“So beautiful, congratulations!!!!!” – Queen of Pipeline, Moana Jones Wong.
The couple also shared a full YouTube video, chronicling the pregnancy journey:
“With grateful hearts, we welcomed our baby girl, Honey Raye Jenner, to the world on July 29th. Her arrival has filled our lives with an abundance of love and happiness that are beyond words. We are so in love.
“In this video, we take you along our pregnancy journey including our baby shower, proposal & home birth experience.
“Mama and baby are in perfect health! We want to thank our amazing birth team for ensuring the safety of our family. Special thanks to our family, friends & fans for all the well wishes during this time. We love you all.
“We are so excited to embark on this beautiful journey of life together as a family. Subscribe to our new channel to follow along with us as we eagerly anticipate the countless moments of growth & cherished memories that await us!”
Tia – who moved around a lot as a kid, since her dad was in the military, but ultimately landed in San Clemente, California – has been on the surf scene for quite some time now, winning multiple gold medals at the ISA World Surfing Games.
She also won ABC’s now cancelled, The Ultimate Surfer, alongside Hawaiian powerhouse Zeke Lau, which earned her a couple wildcard slots in the World Surf League’s Championship Tour.
But since then, and since her pregnancy, Tia’s competitive career has taken a backseat.
As for Jenner, who’s most well-known for starring on MTV’s The Hills, in addition to his tabloid-friendly last name, he’s a surfer, too. He’s shared multiple clips of him riding waves, including one lengthy drainer from a visit to Kelly Slater’s Surf Ranch.
So, will Honey Raye Jenner follow in her parents’ footsteps and become a surfer, too? Or perhaps a reality TV star? Kick back a few years to find out.
