While some think that Bruce is doing all of this for publicity, he says that he first began taking hormones in the 1980's and took them for almost five years.
During the special interview, Jenner revealed some shocking information about the struggle he' been enduring and here's what fans now know.
The reality star said that he contemplated suicide when insiders learned that he had undergone a procedure to remove her adams apple. Jenner also admitted that if ex-wife Kris had been more accepting of his transition, their marriage probably would have lasted.
Bruce (who chose not to disclose his new feminine name) says that like Kris, some of the Jenner children haven't taken the news so well. During the interview Bruce said that Kim has been the most accepting about his transition while Khloe has taken it the hardest.
"She's very emotional. She's had the toughest time with it. Because she's had a lot of losses in her life. She lost her father at a young age. He died suddenly, cancer. You know, Lamar [Odom] had his issues."
While this news has caused huge media frenzy, Bruce said that he's most looking forward to the future, and Enstars wishes him the best of luck on his journey.
