Caitlyn Jenner is 'embarrassing' sons with her run for Governor of California

Caitlyn Jenner's sons are reportedly 'embarrassed' by the news that the former sports star is running to become Governor of California.

The 71-year-old Keeping Up With The Kardashians star, who was formerly known as Bruce Jenner, recently announced that she would run as a Republican in an effort to unseat Democratic Governor Gavin Newsom.

Despite receiving support from several celebrities, it appears that her family has all but snubbed the political run and don't feel that she is 'qualified'.

According to TMZ, Burt, Brandon and Brody Jenner are not keen on the idea of Caitlyn running for the seat.

The report also suggests that only one of her sons, Burt, has actually spoken to the star following his concerns about her safety amid the campaign.

A representative for Caitlyn has been approached by The Mirror for comment.

The Olympic gold medal-winning decathlete turned transgender rights activist - who launched her run on April 23 - has reportedly been mulling a bid for quite some time. She has even put together a team of prominent Republican advisors to help lead a successful campaign.

At the time, she took to social media, writing: "I’m in! California is worth fighting for. Visit http://CaitlynJenner.com to follow or donate today. #RecallNewsom."

Prior to Caitlyn's transition at the age of 65, the TV personality was married to Crystie Jenner, Linda Thompson as well as Kris Jenner.

The television star shares daughter Kendall and Kylie with Kris as well as sons Brody and Brandon with his former wife, Linda.

Caitlyn also shares two children, Burt and Cassandra Marino, with first wife Crystie.

While the television star is pushing ahead with her campaign for governor, it has also been reported that other family members have also stopped short of endorsing the star. It appears Caitlyn's right-leaning politics certainly don't align with the stance of some of her kids.

Daughters Kendall and Kylie Jenner are yet to publicly comment on Caitlyn's decision to run, nor has she received any support from Kris' daughters Kim, Kourtney and Khloe Kardashian.
