After months of speculation, Bruce Jenner’s mother has confirmed that he is undergoing the transition to become a woman. It has been a much-pondered topic in recent months, due to the Keeping Up With The Kardashian star’s changin
And now the Olympian’s parent has spoken out about the dramatic changes he is facing, admitting she has ‘never been more proud of Bruce’.

On a journey: Bruce Jenner’s mother has confirmed the reality TV star IS transitioning into a woman.

Speaking to RadarOnline, Esther Jenner said ‘I just learned about [his transition]. Bruce filled me in, and we had a very long, long, long talk about it.

‘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.’

She added that she was unaware of his wishes until very recently, but commented further that she is right behind him through his journey.

‘I support him whole-heartedly. I just love him like I always have,’ she revealed.

MailOnline has contacted a representative for Bruce Jenner and is awaiting comment.

However, this isn’t the first time the 88-year-old has addressed Bruce’s appearance and gender change.

Speaking exclusively to MailOnline in November, following his divorce from wife Kris, she said:

‘I love him, no matter what. There’s such raunchy publicity all the time. I don’t know. I’ve brought this up to him on the phone when we’ve talked and he says “mum you can’t believe this stuff”, he said you can’t pay any attention to this stuff and I said “well I want to tell you one thing Bruce, I don’t care if what they’re putting out is true or false, it’s not going to change my love for you”, and it’s true that’s exactly how I feel, but I don’t like it.’

She did hold a frank opinion on his long mane of hair though: ‘I hate his hair, I tell him it’s ugly. That it’s ridiculous.

‘I told him on the phone the other day, we were talking about it and I said “you know Bruce, you just turned 65 and you’re wearing you’re hair like you’re a teenage rebel”. He laughed, just cracked up, he doesn’t pay any attention to me. He’s always been single-minded and independent.’

Supportive: Esther Jenner has opened up about her son’s impending change.

The news of his mother’s apparent confirmation comes after reports claimed he would be taking part in an exclusive tell-all interview with Diane Sawyer, to discuss his intentions to live as a woman.

Previously, it was alleged that Kris Jenner ‘freaked out’ over his alleged plan to change his gender.

However, as well as being supported by his mum, it appears that he actually has the full support of his entire family over the big change.

According to a Sunday report from People magazine, all the 65-year-old former Olympian’s kids and even ex wife Kris all approve of his choice to live life as a female. 

A source for the weekly said: ‘The number one thing is they all support Bruce.
