After months of tabloid speculation and even rumors that he’s making a documentary series about it, former Olympian-turned-reality show star Bruce Jenner is transitioning to a woman, according to a source close to his family.
A source told People the news and it seems like official word from Jenner would be just a formality at this point. Pictures of him in recent months have suggested that Jenner is making changes, including his longer hair and lip injections.
“Bruce is transitioning to a woman,” People’s source said. “He is finally happy and his family is accepting of what he's doing. He's in such a great space. That's why it's the perfect time to do something like this.”
Another source for the magazine confirmed what was reported earlier this week, that he is working on a solo reality show about the transition. It should air this year.
The rumors about Jenner have heated up in recent days, especially after his stepdaughter Kim Kardashian said that he would share his official news “whenever the time is right.”
Kardashian told Entertainment Tonight, “I feel like that's his journey to talk about.” She also said that the family will support his transition “no matter what.”
However, Radar Online reports that the family isn’t 100 percent happy about Kardashian speaking out.
“Kim has broken the trust of her family, including all of her sisters, brothers and father,” a source told the site. “Kendall and Kylie are really upset about it because they are Bruce’s biological daughters, but Bruce is definitely ‘dad’ to Kourtney and Khloe too.”
People’s report last night should come as no surprise to anyone who has been following Jenner’s life. Indeed, TMZ reported this morning that the decision was made over a year ago.
