Bruce Jenner's All-American Blueberry Muffins
Compiled by Vicki McClure Davidson
Olympic gold-medal champion Bruce Jenner enjoys cooking and entertaining with his wife Kris and loves spicy dishes.
Jenner, who has co-starred in the popular E! cable TV reality show that debuted in 2007, Keeping Up with the Kardashians, is married to Kris, former wife of the late O.J. Simpson attorney, Robert Kardashian. Jenner's famous stepchildren (and darlings of the paparazzi) include Kim, Kourtney, Khloe, and Robert Jr. He and Kris married in 1991 and have had two children of their own during their marriage together: Kendall and Kylie Jenner — all six children, Kris, and Bruce play themselves on Keeping Up with the Kardashians.
Jenner also has two children, Casey and Burt, from his first marriage to Chrystie Crownover, and two sons, Brandon and Brody, by his second wife Linda Thompson, the crowned Miss Tennessee-Universe of 1972 and former live-in girlfriend (from July 1972 to December 1976) of rock 'n roll king Elvis Presley.
Jenner, born on October 28, 1949 in Mount Kisco, New York, placed third in the decathlon at the 1972 U.S. Olympic trials and finished in an impressive tenth place at the 1972 Munich games. He became an American champion in the event and won a gold medal at the 1976 Summer Olympics. He was the 1976 recipient of the James E. Sullivan Award as the top amateur athlete in the United States. Jenner was also the Associated Press Male Athlete of the Year in 1976. He was inducted into the Olympic Hall of Fame in 1986 and the Bay Area Hall of Fame and Connecticut Sports Hall of Fame in 1994. Jenner is also a sports commentator and motivational speaker.
