Bruce Jenner's mum says her son is becoming a woman, and that she is 'so proud' of him.
After months of speculation, the former Olympic winner's mother has confirmed to RadarOnline that she has spoken with her son about transitioning.
“I just learned about [his transition],” Esther Jenner told Radar exclusively. “Bruce filled me in, and we had a very long, long, long talk about it.”
It's understood Bruce is having his journey documented for a TV show that will air later this year, which will most likely be fronted by American host Diane Sawyer.
Esther Jenner said “I have never been more proud of Bruce for who he is, himself as a father, as an Olympian, a wonderful public speaker. He instills enthusiasm in people. He’s gifted.”
“I support him whole-heartedly,” she continued. “I just love him like I always have.”
In Touch magazine came under criticism from transgender groups last month, after it featured a photo-shopped picture of Bruce on its cover, with the headline 'My Life As A Woman’.
Kim Kardashian, Bruce's step-daughter, has addressed the speculation, telling E! Online that "We support Bruce… Of course we support Bruce 100 per cent."
