Closer at the Oscars!

Caitlyn Jenner talks to Closer about her unbreakabl­e bond with her daughters – and her love life

- By Louise Barnett

There have been repeated rumours of an ongoing rift with her youngest daughters, Kylie and Kendall, but Caitlyn Jenner proved that any tensions between the famous reality family are now history, as she cuddled up to Kendall at the Oscars last week.

The pair looked happy in each other’s company, with Caitlyn, 69, telling Closer at Elton John’s Oscars party last week that she was closer than ever with Kendall, 23, and Kylie, 21 – even revealing they were responsibl­e for her red- carpet looks!

Caitlyn, 69, told us, “The girls have amazing style, and while they obviously dress a lot younger than I do, they know what suits me and always give me their opinions on what looks good – and what I should never step out of the house in!”

Gesturing to her gold sequin dress, she said, “They helped me pick this out months ago. They’re my go-to stylists.”

Caitlyn – formerly known as Bruce – rose to fame as an Olympic gold medallist in the 1970s, before coming into the showbiz spotlight when he married Kris Jenner, now 63, in 1991. He then became stepfather to Kourtney, 39, Kim, 38, Khloé, 34, and Rob, 31, and went on to have Kendall and Kylie with Kris.

Caitlyn also has four children from a previous marriage – Burt, 40, Cassandra Marino, 38, Brandon, 37, and Brody, 35.

But the star – who was a leading character on reality show Keeping Up With The Kardashian­s – shocked the world in 2016 when she admitted in a Diane Sawyer interview that she was transgende­r, revealing that she had dealt with gender dysmorphia since her youth and had been cross-dressing in secret for years. She has since gone ahead to have the full transition and admits she was “so happy” to be finally living as a woman.

Now, Caitlyn lives with her rumoured girlfriend Sophia Hutchins, 22, who is also transgende­r.

While she kept tight-lipped about their alleged romance, she told Closer, “Sophia’s also got a great sense of style so it helps having some great fashion influences around me.”
