Bruce Jenner’s mum CONFIRMS son’s sex change: “Bruce filled me in, we had a very long talk about it”

Speculation about the cause of Bruce Jenner’s changing appearance has been mounting for months now with many wondering if the former Olympian is transitioning from male to female.

Last week a source close to the Kardashian/Jenner family told People magazine Bruce is “transitioning to a woman” and he’s even filming a docu-series so people can see what he’s going through.

YOU HAVE TO SEE THIS LOT!

The plan is reportedly for family members to slowly start talking about the former sportsman’s journey so it doesn’t seem like such a big deal when he announces it himself.

And Bruce’s mother Esther Jenner has now spoken out, insisting she loves him no matter what.

Esther told Radar Online: “I just learned about [his transition], Bruce filled me in, and we had a very long, long, long talk about it.”

She added: “I have never been more proud of Bruce for who he is, himself as a father, as an Olympian, a wonderful public speaker. He instils enthusiasm in people. He’s gifted.

“Right now I am more proud of him for what he’s allowing himself to do. I am more proud of him now than when he stood on that podium and put that gold medal around his neck. He deserves all the respect.

“I support him whole-heartedly. I just love him like I always have.”

Esther added that Bruce has chosen to film his experience, not just for himself, but so he can help other people going through the same thing.
