Who Is Cayley Stoker? Meet Brandon Jenner's Wife Who Just Gave Birth To Twins!
He's started a new life.
getty images For years, the world has watched every single thing that the Kardashian clan has done. From makeup to boyfriends to fashion choices to everything in between, the Kardashians are everywhere. You couldn't avoid them even if you wanted to.
In fact, for some of us, they have started to feel like family members. Maybe that's why it hit us so hard when Brandon Jenner, son of Caitlyn Jenner, stepbrother to the Kardashian girls and half-brother to the Jenners, announced in September 2018 that he was splitting from his wife, Leah Felder.
It's been a while now since they announced their split, and Jenner has already moved on. In fact, after announcing his engagement to his girlfriend, the couple is now married. To top it all off, the couple announced in all the way back in August 2019 that they were expecting twins!
And just last week, the happy couple just welcomed their twin sons!
But just who is Cayley Stoker?
Hunker down and get close, because here's everything we know about Jenner's split from his wife, his quick engagement and marriage to Stoker, and their two new bundles of joy.
1. Jenner and Felder split in September 2018.
With Love, from @brandonjenner and I ♥️

Brandon Jenner had been with his now-ex-wife Leah Felder for 14 years. If you saw them on TV (or even just saw photos of them together in the tabloids), it's hard to imagine this pair ever deciding to go their separate ways, and yet, that's exactly what happened.
The duo announced their split in September of 2018, and according to the statement made via Leah's Instagram page, they seemed to be taking a page from the "conscious uncoupling" playbook made popular by Gwenyth Paltrow and Chris Martin.
Felder wrote, “Hi everybody, it is with love in our hearts that we feel it’s time to share some personal news with you all. After celebrating fourteen beautiful years together, we have lovingly come to the decision to end the romantic aspect of our relationship. We are deeply proud of the life we’ve cultivated together and are truly grateful for the bond of friendship we hold and cherish today.”
2. Fans were shocked when Jenner started dating Stoker.
Just six months after parting ways from Felder, Jenner was rumored to be getting cozy with a brand new lady, a move that was shocking to fans of Jenner and Felder, who adore their music and the couple in general. Sources said, "Cayley is beloved by the Malibu community. [She's] a sweet local beach girl that grew up in the 'Bu and everyone loves."
Stoker shared a photograph of herself and Jenner hugging while on a trip together in Joshua Tree that accidentally revealed their relationship to the world at large. Thankfully, someone put Stoker in check, because she has since made her Instagram private!
3. Jenner and Felder share custody of their daughter.
The split between Jenner and Felder hit the family hard.
Jenner's mother, Linda Thompson, took to her own Instagram page just after Felder made her announcement to share one of her own: “Although I am personally saddened by the demise of the romantic love that @brandonjenner & @leahjames have shared for so many years, I have full confidence that they will continue to exemplary parents to their beautiful little Eva, and will remain loving best friends who share a remarkable, memory filled [sic] history.”
While it was Felder who officially filed for divorce in September 2018, it was Jenner who requested joint legal and physical custody of their beloved 4-year-old daughter, Eva. Already, the former parents have made it clear how important co-parenting is to them, having made the important decision to be together as a family for both Thanksgiving and Christmas 2018 for the sake of their daughter.
4. At first, it wasn't clear how serious Jenner and Stoker's relationship really was.
While Stoker felt comfortable enough proclaiming her "heart" full of feelings for Jenner on her Instagram page, she did make sure to go ahead and make the entire account private pretty darn fast! Plus, Jenner was also being cagey about the hook-up with this new lady.
You see, he shared photos of his trip with her to Joshua Tree too, only he spent most of the trip documenting snaps of his beloved pet dog! Could it just have been a cover because he didn't want the brand-new relationship under intense scrutiny? Sure, but it could also have been that the couple wasn't that serious yet.
5. Jenner married Stoker in January 2020.
Any doubts of the couple being serious were put to rest as Jenner revealed through Instagram that he and Stoker were engaged. The couple got married on January 21, 2020 in Santa Barbara.
Jenner officially revealed the couple's marriage, saying, “We wed at the Santa Barbara Courthouse on Jan. 21 with my daughter Eva and Cayley’s grandmother, Joan, as our witness.”
He also recently shared a few photos from the wedding on his Instagram, writing, "I have discovered a whole new level of happiness because of you. You are smart, kind, funny, driven, caring and super pregnant at the moment with our twin babies!! I will forever cherish what we have together and am so looking forward to celebrating every one of your birthdays with you from here on out. Eva, Onyx and I are so unbelievably lucky to have you in our lives. Thank you a trillion times over for loving me the way you do."
6. They also revealed they were expecting twins.
In August 2019, the couple revealed that they were expecting twins. At the time, Jenner revealed, “We are at 12 weeks now, so near the end of the first trimester. We’re madly in love and we are very excited about this!”
Jenner also said that they had told his daughter Eva about the happy news. “We told her together. Leah, Cayley and I sat down with her and told her what was happening, and she was very excited and happy. She’s super excited to be a big sister.” He also revealed that their "families are thrilled."
Stoker also said that the couple wanted to keep the gender of their babies a surprise. "We have decided not to find out. We don’t want to know. We’re going to be surprised,” she said.
7. Jenner and Stoker welcomed their twins in February 2020.
The year's been off to quite a good start for Jenner and Stoker. Just a month after the couple tied the knot, Stoker gave birth to their twin baby boys, who they named Sam and Bo.
