Everything to know about Tia Blanco, Brody Jenner’s surfer wife

Brody Jenner and professional surfer Tia Blanco are expanding their family.

In March 2026, the couple revealed they are expecting their second child together, sharing Blanco’s baby bump and ultrasound photos on Instagram. 

The baby is due in September, and their daughter, Honey Raye Jenner, born in July 2023, is set to become a big sister.

The announcement comes less than a year after Jenner and Blanco tied the knot on July 12, 2025, during an intimate ceremony in Malibu, California. 

The couple exchanged vows at a private home surrounded by family and friends, including Jenner’s mother, Linda Thompson. 

Reflecting on their relationship in a Mother’s Day tribute in 2025, Jenner wrote that he knew from the start there was “something incredibly special” about Blanco.

From her successful surfing career to her passions beyond the waves, here’s a closer look at Jenner’s wife, Tia Blanco.

Tia Blanco was born in Puerto Rico

Blanco, who is Filipino American, was born in Puerto Rico but spent much of her childhood moving frequently due to her father’s military career. Because his Coast Guard assignments were typically near the ocean, Blanco developed a connection to the water early in life.

Her family eventually settled in San Clemente, California, a well-known surfing hub that helped shape her career in the sport.

She built a career as a professional surfer

Blanco began surfing when she was just 3 years old after her father first pushed her into a wave while the family was living in Hawaii.

By the time she was 12, she had decided to pursue surfing competitively. She began competing professionally in 2012 and quickly established herself as a rising talent in the sport.

Tia has also appeared on reality television

While Jenner gained fame on reality TV, Blanco has also appeared on several shows.

At 19, she competed on MTV’s The Challenge: Champs vs. Pros, where professional athletes competed for charity. 

Blanco participated on behalf of St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital and raised $1,000 before being eliminated.

She later appeared on ABC’s The Ultimate Surfer in 2021, where 14 surfers competed for a $100,000 prize and a chance to compete on the World Surf League Championship Tour. Blanco and fellow surfer Zeke Lau ultimately won the competition.

She is a passionate vegan and wellness advocate

Blanco has followed a vegan lifestyle since 2013 and frequently speaks about her commitment to plant-based living. Raised in a mostly vegetarian household, she said her interest in veganism deepened after watching the documentary Glass Walls and reading the book The China Study.

Her advocacy has also earned recognition, including a PETA “Libby Award” in 2014 for her work promoting veganism.

Yoga and creativity are part of her lifestyle

In addition to surfing, Blanco practices yoga regularly and often shares her routines online. She has described the activity as therapeutic and a key part of maintaining balance in her life.

Blanco is also an artist who enjoys painting. Through her Instagram account dedicated to her artwork, she showcases pieces inspired by nature and surfing, including murals on surfboards.

She and Jenner went public with their relationship in 2022

Jenner and Blanco confirmed their romance in May 2022 after months of speculation. The Hills alum posted a selfie with Blanco and his dog on Instagram, followed by a video of the couple biking together.

The pair had previously sparked dating rumors after sharing similar photos of a waterfall in Hawaii.

The couple shares a love for surfing

Having grown up in Malibu, Jenner also enjoys surfing and often joins Blanco in the water. Shortly after they made their relationship public, Blanco shared photos and videos of the pair surfing together at Kelly Slater Wave Co.’s Surf Ranch in California.

They became parents in 2023

The couple welcomed their daughter, Honey Raye Jenner, on July 29, 2023. Blanco later shared details about the 19-hour home birth in a video posted to their YouTube channel.

Jenner praised Blanco in a heartfelt Mother’s Day tribute the following year, celebrating her strength and dedication as a mother.

Jenner proposed during their baby shower

In June 2023, Jenner surprised Blanco by proposing during their baby shower.

“Can’t wait to love you forever,” he wrote alongside a video of the moment on Instagram. Blanco described the day as “the most beautiful baby shower” that ended with a proposal from “the man of my dreams.”

They married in Malibu in 2025

The couple married on July 12, 2025, during an intimate backyard ceremony at Jenner’s mother’s Malibu home, attended by around 70 guests. Their daughter Honey, served as the flower girl.

“Best night marrying my best friend,” Blanco later wrote on Instagram, describing the celebration as her “dream backyard wedding.”

With a growing family and shared passions for surfing and wellness, Jenner and Blanco continue to build a life centered around the ocean and family.
