While Brody Jenner appeared on Special Forces: World’s Toughest Test, his mom Linda Thompson was going through a challenge of her own.
Linda said she “prayed every day” for Brody’s safety while he was on the show—during which celebrities train under an elite ex-military team—last year.
“I had an altar in my house with his photos and all these religious candles,” Linda, 74, told Us Weekly in an interview published March 4. “I lit candles every day. ‘Please God, let him come home.’”
Although Brody, 41, made it home safe—and even won the final challenge alongside Travis Kelce‘s ex and media personality Kayla Nicole—Linda was still anxious to watch and see if The Hills alum sustained any injuries while on the show.
“They get hurt,” she explained. “One of the guys got his nose smashed, and Carey Hart got hurt. They really get hurt. It’s no joke. I was really nervous about it. I knew he came home OK, but he was under NDA to not tell us exactly how he did.”
