Bruce Jenner Sex-Change Update: Ex-Olympian to Finally Reveal Personal Sexual Transition Experience in Upcoming ABC Interview
Bruce Jenner, the former Olympian whose quest for sexual identity has been the subject of much speculation in recent weeks, is set to sit down with ABC's Diane Sawyer in a two-hour tell all, according to reports.
The interview is anticipated to be Jenner's official public announcement that he is transitioning from a man to a woman, which has been widely rumored for the past several months.
ABC News declined to offer much detail on the content of the talks, but said in a statement that the interview was "far-ranging and exclusive" and would appear as a special two-hour edition of "20/20″ starting at 9 p.m. Eastern on Friday, April 24.
It's widely believed that the Olympic champion, reality TV star and Kardashian-Jenner clan patriarch is trangender and beginning to transition to life as a woman, and that he will go public about it in the interview.
Bruce Jenner's mom hinted that he may be going through a sex-change. In February, 88-year-old Esther Jenner told the Associated Press a little about the conversation she had with Bruce.
"I said I was proud of him and that I'll always love him," she said. "I never thought I could be more proud of Bruce when he reached his goal in 1976, but I'm more proud of him now. It takes a lot of courage to do what he's doing."
According to Radar Online, Jenner is also rumored to be filming a spin-off docu-series about the transition on E! Network.
While Jenner himself has remained silent about his reported transition, some of his relatives, including step-daughter Kim Kardashian, have spoken about about his 'journey'.
'I guess I'll kind of let everyone be curious and I feel like that's his journey to talk about,' Kim recently told Entertainment Tonight.
'I will say that I think Bruce should tell his story his way. I think everyone goes through things in life and I think that story and what Bruce is going through, I think he'll share whenever the time is right.'
