Why CAITLYN JENNER’S acting like a teenager!

Years after transition­ing to a woman, Caitlyn Jenner’s stuck in an adolescent phase

-

It’s been almost three years since Caitlyn Jenner made her public debut as a trans woman. Since then, the reality star has confessed how thrilling it is to experience life as a female after spending her first 65 years as a man. “In so many ways,” she’s said, “I feel like I’m a teenage girl discoverin­g herself!”

Lately, that’s exactly how she’s been acting. Caitlyn, 68, is fixated on turning back time, whether through her style choices or hanging with gal pals a

quarter her age. “Caitlyn is obsessed with her looks and all things glam,” says an insider. “She keeps up with fashion on Instagram and always, always gets her dresses shortened!”

RELIVING HER YOUTH

Cait’s constantly making tweaks to her appearance — some more serious than others. As part of her transition, she had 10-hour facial feminizati­on surgery, a breast augmentati­on and gender reassignme­nt. But the diva also “feels like she should look like she’s in high school,” says the insider, who says Caitlyn had her ears pinned back. So she’s getting regular Botox, fillers and skin treatments to maintain a youthful appearance.

She’s sure maintainin­g a youthful inner circle. When not hanging with daughter Kylie, 20, and her pals, Cait’s constant companion is Pepperdine University student Sophia Hutchins, 21. “It’s like she’s hoping Sophia’s youth rubs off on her,” says the insider. It’s Caitlyn’s way y of making up for lost time. “For men and women who have undergone a transition [ later in life], it’s not uncommon to start acting younger,” says psychologi­st Dr. Julie Armstrong, who hasn’t treated the star, “to [catch] up on social experience­s they missed out on earlier.”

The only problem? She’s adopted the attitude of a teen, too! “She has become so catty,” says the insider. “Bruce was the nicest, but Caitlyn acts like she thinks she’s in Mean Girls!”
