After months of rumors and speculation about the status of Bruce Jenner’s gender identity, People has confirmed that he is indeed transitioning into a woman.
According to People’s exclusive source, “Bruce is transitioning to a woman. 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.”
While various magazines and blogs have reported this story, People is considered the ultimate source when it comes to the validity of celebrity news.
What does Bruce’s children think of this MAJOR change? “The [kids’] concern seems to be Bruce’s happiness, and he acts very pleased with his new life,” says the insider.
But that doesn’t mean it’s been easy for everyone to accept.
The family source claims, “Of course not everyone is 100 percent on board. Different people have different reactions.” The source goes on to say, “The family is really giving this space and time to Bruce. This is his story and they want him to tell the world the way he wants.”
So why would Bruce want to document such a personal journey for the world to see and thus criticize? The source claims that the goal of sharing his story is to help empower others going through the same thing.
With all the support he’s gotten from those closest to him, Bruce is happier than ever.
“He has come out to those closest to him,” says the family source. “He’s so happy and excited. He gets to lay down a huge bag of bricks. He’s been through a dark period and is coming out on the other side.”
Kim Kardashian recently spoke out about the rumors of Bruce’s transition saying, “I think that story and what Bruce is going through, I think he’ll share whenever the time is right.”
Neither Jenner nor his representatives replied to People’s repeated requests for a comment.
