Kylie Jenner: I Like Caitlyn ‘Better Than Bruce’

Kylie Jenner is relieved her
father has transitioned into Caitlyn Jenner.

During her first appearance on
“The Ellen DeGeneres” show, set to air on Monday, the 18-year-old
star opened up about the emotional challenges she faced after Bruce Jenner
began living life as Caitlyn.

“It was the only thing I
really bottled in. I don’t bottle in a lot of things and I feel like my family
was a little upset about that,” Kylie told Ellen. “But I got through
it and now I almost — I like it a lot better honestly.”

Once she got through the
initial adjustments, Kylie bonded with Caitlyn in a way she wasn’t able to with
Bruce.

“I like her better than
Bruce,” she said. “Because we talk about makeup and clothes we bond a
lot more, but not only that. I feel like there’s not a huge secret in the
family. I feel like there was always this big secret. 

“And I’ve honestly known
about it for a really long time and we actually caught him then dressing up as
a girl, when my sister and I were like 6 and 7 maybe,” she continued.
“So we’ve known for a while that there was something, but it was never
talked about.”

Kylie hopes
Caitlyn and her family will inspire others.

“[Caitlyn is] really
living her authentic true self,” Kylie told Ellen. “And I feel like that’s
awesome and also I want to be someone from my generation to like be an example
because I think that’s so awesome and I think that other girls and boys my age
will maybe see that I’m so accepting and be accepting of other people
too.”
