According to People, Caitlyn's kids who attended her big night were Burt, Brandon, Brody, Casey, Kendall and Kylie as well as her stepdaughters Kourtney, Kim and Khloe -- from marriage with Kris Jenner.
Brandon's wife Leah, who might be giving birth anytime, and Rob Kardashian did not make it to the event. None of his exes were present at the Caitlyn Jenner ESPYs night as well. As told by TMZ earlier, Caitlyn reportedly did not want anyone among his exes, including Kris, to be a part of her special night.
"Her ex-wives don't celebrate Father's Day," the source said.
Fact is, they're just not her family, but the kids are," the source also told TMZ prior to the event.
In a report on Hollywood Life, Kris was reportedly upset over it.
"She would have liked to have been invited," an insider shared.
"Kris knows and understands in her heart the magnitude of this night and what it means to Caitlyn and she would have loved to have been there to show support," the insider added.
While Caitlyn's exes were reportedly snubbed for the event, Caitlyn gave so much appreciation to her children during her inspiring speech.
"You guys have given so much back to me, you've given me so much support," she told her children during her acceptance speech.
"I am so, so grateful to have all of you in my life," she added as quoted by NBC News.
Caitlyn also appealed to everyone for understanding and acceptance for her fellow trans especially the younger ones.
"If you want to call me names, make jokes, doubt my intentions, go ahead, because the reality is, I can take it," she started.
"But for the thousands of kids out there, coming to terms with being true to who they are, they shouldn't have to take it," she continued.
"Trans people deserve something vital. They deserve your respect," Caitlyn Jenner said about transgender people during the ESPYs.
