The Truth About Caitlyn Jenner's Relationship History

When Linda Thompson linked up with Caitlyn Jenner, she was primarily known as Elvis Presley's ex. The two met at a celebrity tennis tournament at the Playboy Mansion, where Jenner had been living following his separation from Chrystie Scott (via CNN). It wasn't long before Jenner proposed, and they walked down the aisle just days after his divorce was finalized.

"I had this normal, wonderful, athletic, down to earth, free and easy-going [person], that I fell in love with, and who fathered two children, two sons with me," she told Entertainment Tonight. "So, I really felt I had found my normal, until my world collapsed." Thompson admits that finding out Jenner dressed as a woman and unpacking what that meant in therapy led to the end of the marriage. "You can imagine the agony that she went through, and I reminded myself every time I would feel slighted or hurt or cheated, you know, I would think about her — and her feelings and how she must have felt far worse than I," she said. "I saw the agony, I saw the pain, and the hurt, because she felt for her family too. You know, she didn't want to disrupt her family. She didn't want to lose her family, she didn't want to hurt her children, she struggled. It was a lifelong struggle for her."
