Kendall and Kylie Jenner will soon have another sister-in-law. The daughters of Caitlyn Jenner have four half-siblings: Brody, Brandon, Burt, and Cassandra. Over the weekend, Brody, who appeared on 11 episodes of Keeping Up with the Kardashians, got down on one knee to propose to his pregnant girlfriend, Tiarah “Tia” Blanco.

From the photos, it does not appear any of the Kardashians were in attendance. Caitlyn and Brody’s brother Brandon Jenner were spotted in the photos, but Kendall and Kylie were noticeably missing. Brody does not follow Khloe ,   Kim or  Kourtney on Instagram and only follows Kendall and Kylie. While the current relationship status between the siblings is unknown, Tiarah will be joining the Jenner family, and Kylie and Kendall will be aunties again.

So who is the soon-to-be mom?

Tiarah, who goes by Tia, was born May 5, 1997. She is Filipino-American and was born in Puerto Rico. Her father is Simon Blanco and her mother is Sina Blanco. Simon was in the coastguard and she told Naluda Magazine, “We always found ourselves living on the coasts.” She also has a sister named Aja. Her family eventually settled in San Clemente, California.

Living on the coast, Blanco said surfing came naturally for her family. She began surfing at the early age of 3 and had the support of her family when she started competing. Ranked in the top 50 female surfers in the world by the World Surf League, she won first place Gold medal at the 2015 International Surfing Association Open Women’s World Surfing Championship in Popoyo, Nicaragua, and again in the 2016 Championship in Playa Jacó, Costa Rica. She was also a star on ABC’s “Ultimate Surfer.”

Tia, who is a vegan advocate is also a businesswoman. In 2018, she and her sister Aja launched a cruelty-free, vegan skincare line called Dear Self.
