Kendall saw me dressing up but I never knew...

Caitlyn tells of life before transition

- BY DAVID MAHER

but I just got caught a couple of times – once by Kim. Kendall said she caught me but I never knew she caught me.

“Kim walked in the house and nobody was in the house and I was dressed.

“It kinda freaked her out a little bit, she didn’t know how to handle it and I called her later and then never talked about it again until years later and she said, ‘What the hell’s going on with you?’ and I sat down and talked to her.” The Olympic gold medalist, who revealed her identity as a trans woman in April 2015, added she told her son Brandon gradually. She said: “We were talking about it but he knew the whole story. His mother would have told him about it but we’d never talked about it. “He said, ‘Dad, you know what? I’ve always been so proud to be your son. If I go to the airport and I hand in my ID, they say was your father Bruce Jenner? I say, yeah Kendall and Kim Caitlyn Jenner on The Late Late Show that’s my dad’. So Brandon says I’ve always been so proud to be your son but I’ve never been more proud of you than I am tonight.

“I cried and I thought I hope they’re all this easy. But I started with Brandon and that was the nicest thing he could have said to me at that time when I was spilling my heart and soul out to him.”

Caitlyn also revealed on Friday on the RTE chat show how she has Irish ancestry. She added: “Most people here in Ireland don’t know that my mother’s maiden name is Esther Mcguire.”
