Kim
Kardashian has revealed her late father Robert used to joke with friends
about Bruce Jenner dressing up as a woman.
The reality star said she heard her late father discussing rumours
about Bruce - now called Caitlyn - when she was just 11.
Kim's mum Kris was married to lawyer Robert until 1991. Oce month after
her divorce was finalised she tied the knot with the Olympic athlete.
Opening up about the Caitlyn's gender transition in a strikingly candid
blog, Kim said she thought her dad was just "jealous" of her mum's
new marriage.
Describing the moment she first saw Caitlyn dressed in female clothing
at the age of 21, she said: "My mom was out of town with my little sisters
[Kendall and Kylie Jenner], visiting my grandmother in San Diego, and I was
living with her and Bruce at the time in Calabasas.

"I came home from a friend's house and walked into the garage and
Bruce was there, dressed up as a woman. Heels, wig, makeup and all!
"I don't remember specifically what he had on because I put my
head down and ran into my bedroom."
She continued: "Had I not overheard my dad and his friends
discussing rumours that Bruce would dress up as a woman years before (when I
was about 11 years old), I never would have believed what I was seeing.
"I thought my dad was jealous of my mom's new husband, that he was
joking with his friends on the phone, but suddenly I knew it was all
true."
Kim continued by saying she was speaking about her experiences in a bid
to help others who might be in a similar situation.

Talking about their relationship now being stronger than ever, she
said: "Is it weird for me? Yes, this person has been my step-dad for half
my life.
"But life is just about being happy - that's the one common
denominator that everyone can understand. If you aren't able to be you, who can
you be?"
Meanwhile Kris, who split from Caitlyn in 2013, recently said of their
relationship: "It's good. It's fine. You know, it's a process.
"I think everything takes a little bit of time. We're still
family. We still have kids together. And it will work itself out."
