Their marriage failed after the then Bruce Jenner revealed he wished to live life as a woman.
But today Caitlyn Jenner and Linda Thompson get along well, reuniting on Saturday night as they both attended an event hosted by actress Jane Fonda.
Jenner donned a long-sleeve little black dress at the Open Hearts Foundation 10th anniversary event in Beverly Hills, while her ex-wife sizzled in a long-sleeve red velvet mini dress, ruched diagonally across the chest and down the sleeves.
The two were married from 1981 to 1986, and share sons Brody and Brandon.

Back in 2016, Thompson commented on Jenner’s transition, explaining that they were in contact.
She told Entertainment Tonight: ‘I enjoy her very much — she’s the same person, she’s the same entity, she’s the same living, breathing entity, the same soul, just a different facade.’
But Thompson added she had found Caitlyn’s transition hard on a personal level.
‘But it’s kind of difficult, again, to grasp the concept that the man – the very handsome, athletic, muscular man that I fell in love with – is now this lovely, feminine woman, who identifies and thinks like a woman, but did back then too. I just didn’t know it.’

Still friends: In 2016, she said of Jenner: ‘I enjoy her very much — she’s the same person, she’s the same entity, she’s the same living, breathing entity, the same soul, just a different facade’
For Saturday’s party, Caitlyn was joined by her companion Sophia Hutchins, also a trans woman.
Hutchins cut a chic look in a plunging sleeveless black jumpsuit, which was tied at the waist.
She and Jenner have become close friends since the former Olympian transitioned, Hutchins even appearing on her docuseries I Am Cait.
The young beauty entrepreneur recently clarified the nature of their relationship to The New York Times: ‘We were never romantically involved.’
