AceShowbiz - Kendall Jenner talked about Bruce Jenner on Billboard Music Awards red carpet on Sunday, May 17. She said she was happy to see her father happy about his ongoing gender transition.
"Honestly, I've never seen him happier. That alone makes me so happy. To see him happy and see him going through this and staying so strong and really think about his kids is amazing," the "Keeping Up with the Kardashians" star said.
In related news, a recent teaser of "Keeping Up with the Kardashians: About Bruce" showed how the Jenner-Kardashian family members were supportive to Bruce's transition from male to female. In the clip, Kendall broke in tears during an emotional discussion with her father and Khloe Kardashian. The 19-year-old model said, "He's the most amazing person I know. I couldn't ask for a better dad. He taught me how to ride a bike and be the tomboy that I am."
Accepting the Olympic gold medalist's gender transition might take some time, especially for his estranged wife, Kris Jenner. Another clip for this special which was taped earlier this year also revealed how the other daughters coped with the transition at the beginning. Kim Kardashian was seen in tears saying that she was emotional when talking to Bruce about his first "coming out" interview with Diane Sawyer. "I was thinking, 'Mom this is really hard for her.' It's so sad. She cries all the time and it makes me really sad. We should really appreciate all the things she does for us, because she does a lot," Kim told her sisters.
However, Kris finally accepted Bruce's decision about his transition. Bruce also admitted that Kim was the most accepting one thanks to her husband, Kanye West, who helped her understand it.
The two-part special called "Keeping Up with the Kardashians: About Bruce" airs on Sunday, May 17 and Monday, May 18 on E!.
