Sara opened up about her “deep … resentment” of David in a 2019 “Sibling Revelry” podcast episode, referencing the “emotional turmoil” she experienced when her parents split and her father married Linda Thompson.

“Our dad was raising other children,” Sara recalled of Thompson’s sons, Brody Jenner and Brandon Jenner. “He wasn’t raising us. That was the thing that kept me up at night.”

However, she appears to have mended the dynamic and often gushes about David’s relationship with McPhee.

David spoke to People in January 2023 about being an older dad to Rennie, saying he can offer the little one “wisdom.”

“Even though I won’t be around when he’s 50 or 40 even, or 30 maybe … that’s not a bad trade off,” he said. “I hope so.”

He went on to say parenting in his 70s is “different,” explaining, “I still work, I’m still gone a lot, but maybe the time is a little more precious to me because I got more runway behind me than I have ahead of me now.”
