Bruce Jenner has maintained a dignified silence amid new reports about his personal life. While a source close to the former Olympian's family reportedly confirmed to People magazine that he is "transitioning into a woman", Bruce himself has stayed quiet on the subject. On 31 January, media outlets reported that an insider close to Bruce, who has six children including daughters Kendall and Kylie with his ex-wife Kris Jenner, had revealed that the former athele is "finally happy" and has the full support of his family. "Bruce is transitioning to a woman," the source told People. "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."
Bruce Jenner has not officially commented on the new reports
People's report came several days after it was revealed that Bruce is filming a new reality show focussing on his life following his divorce from Kardashian matriarch Kris. The 65-year-old is said to be preparing the docu-series for E! after months of speculation about his changing appearance. "Bruce has been filming his new life," a source told People. "His film crew have been told to keep everything hush-hush."
Kim Kardashian said her family have given Bruce Jenner their full support
Sources say that the footage will focus on what his step-daughter Kim Kardashian has described as Bruce's "journey", and will feature his family and former wife Kris. While a spokeswoman for E! declined to comment on the reports, Kim did appear to hint that her step-father may have something to share about his personal life. Speaking to Entertainment Tonight, Kim said that Bruce is "the happiest I've ever seen him". "Of course we support Bruce 100 percent," she said. "He's our dad so we support him no matter what, and I think when the time is right, he'll talk about whatever he wants to talk about."

The 34-year-old added: "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. "I guess I'll kind of let everyone be curious and I feel like that's his journey to talk about, I just think it's his story to talk about, not really mine."
