Caitlyn Jenner says she finally feels like her “authentic self” as she walked along the beach in just a swimsuit.
The ‘I Am Cait’ star - who was known as Bruce Jenner before she underwent a gender transition - felt “free” as she walked along the beach in just a swimsuit and took to social media to document the moment.
