Rob Kardashian was unaware of the Caitlyn Jenner Vanity Fair cover shoot and didn’t know she used to be his stepfather, Bruce Jenner when his sister Kim Kardashian sent him the photo.
The 28-year-old TV star had no idea Caitlyn was his former stepfather, now living under the new female identity after undergoing gender transition surgery.
Kim, who has just announced she is pregnant with a second child with husband Kanye West, revealed to ‘Access Hollywood Live’ that Rob was completely unaware Caitlyn was doing the Vanity Fair shoot and so he replied: ‘Kim, why are you sending me this? Who is this woman and why do I care? And I was like, Rob, that’s Bruce – that’s Caitlyn. And he was like, ‘Oh my god, she’s beautiful.’
She also said: ‘I’ve been on the phone maybe five different times sending it to all the family members … So I sent it on a mass text to everybody … It was so funny because all the girls, we knew Caitlyn was shooting this, but my brother had no idea.’
Rob, who has kept quiet about the emergence of Caitlyn on social media – immediately called Caitlyn to congratulate her and they had a ‘love fest’.
Kim was on hand to aid Caitlyn with her Vanity Fair cover shoot and was thrilled that they even share similar hair styles. Kim also offered Caitlyn sound advice for modelling in front of the camera.
She said: ‘Just practice, practice, by yourself until you feel comfortable.’
