Kendall Jenner says her father, Bruce Jenner is ‘happier’ than ever now that he is transitioning into a woman.
The 19-year-old model revealed the former Olympian is doing well after opening up about his decision to undergo gender reassignment surgery and is proud of him for ‘staying so strong’.
She told E! News host, Giuliana Rancic at the Billboard Music Awards on Sunday, May 17 – ‘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 thinking about his kids, is amazing.’
In an emotional two-part documentary titled: ‘Keeping Up with the Kardashians: About Bruce’ which aired on Sunday and Monday, May 17 & 18, the brunette-beauty also shared her support for her 65-year-old father.
She 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.’
However, his wife, Kris Jenner appeared to be struggling with the transition and confessed she felt like her former spouse had ‘died’.
Meanwhile, Kendall wasn’t the only one to show support for Bruce during the awards in Las Vegas.
‘Orange Is The New Black’ star, Laverne Cox, who is an advocate for the LGBT community also admitted she’s been following Bruce’s journey and is planning to watch the E! docu-series about his transition when it airs.
She said: ‘I always try to watch when trans folks are on TV. I think it’s powerful when another transgendered person comes out and shares who they are.’
