One person who loves Bruce Jenner’s Vanity Fair cover photo, for the magazine’s July issue, is his stepdaughter, Khloe Kardashian. On Monday morning, right after the photo, from the first official photoshoot that Bruce has done as a woman, was released, Khloe proudly shared the photo with her fans and declared her stepdad, now known as Caitlyn, to be “beautiful.”
“We were given this life because you were strong enough to live it! I couldn’t be prouder!!! Caitlyn, You are beautiful!!!”
Daughter Kendall Jenner also celebrated Caitlyn’s first official photo. Kendall, a professional model, declared her dad’s cover photo to be a true cover. Her accompanying Instagram post provided a short clip of the making of the Vanity Fair photo.

She later declared her happiness over now being able to be “living [her] true self” and said that she can’t wait for people to get to know her.

Caitlyn Jenner’s first official photoshoot as a woman was shot by famed photographer Annie Leibovitz. Annie was the photographer who shot Kim Kardashian and Kanye West for their April Vogue cover. As previously reported by the Inquisitr, the photographer was actually in talks to photograph Kim and Kanye’s wedding in Italy a few months later but that never worked out, prompting Kanye to go on a public tirade against the photographer. Representatives for Kanye and Annie later said it was all a misunderstanding, with Kanye’s representative explaining that the negotiation simply wasn’t done in time for the wedding.

Kourtney Kardashian also expressed her happiness at Bruce finally getting to be Caitlyn. Kourtney declared the cover photo “stunning” and shared a second photo from Caitlyn’s photoshoot.
A preview of the Vanity Fair Caitlyn Jenner story reveals that Caitlyn compared her two-day photoshoot for the magazine to winning the the gold medal for the decathlon at the 1976 Olympics.
“That was a good day, but the last couple of days were better… This shoot was about my life and who I am as a person. It’s not about the fanfare, it’s not about people cheering in the stadium, it’s not about going down the street and everybody giving you ‘that a boy, Bruce,’ pat on the back, O.K. This is about your life.”
Caitlyn, who has new breasts but has yet to have sex reassignment surgery, also admitted that she suffered a panic attack and had second thoughts after undergoing a 10-hour facial-feminization surgery, which was previewed on Sunday night’s episode of Keeping up with the Kardashians, on March 15. A counselor came to her house and assured her that such emotions were normal after such an experience.
The woman formerly known as Bruce Jenner also denied claims that she’s doing this for fame and money.
“Oh, she’s doing a stupid reality show. She’s doing it for the money. She’s doing this, she’s doing that.’ I’m not doing it for money. I’m doing it to help my soul and help other people. If I can make a dollar, I certainly am not stupid. [I have] house payments and all that kind of stuff. I will never make an excuse for something like that. Yeah, this is a business. You don’t go out and change your gender for a television show. O.K., it ain’t happening. I don’t care who you are.”
Unlike Khloe Kardashian, Kim Kardashian, Kourtney Kardashian, ad Kendall Jenner, the other family members regularly seen on Keeping up with the Kardashians, Kylie Jenner, Kris Jenner, and Robert Kardashian, have yet to comment on social media about Caitlyn Jenner’s official intro to the world.
