It's official: Bruce Jenner is a chick

[Bufkin]

His changing look has been a much-buzzed-about topic for months, and now PEOPLE has confirmed that Bruce Jenner has been quietly making a very personal change. The former Olympian will soon be living life as female.

"Bruce is transitioning to a woman," says a source close to the family. "He is finally happy and his family is accepting of what he's doing. He's in such a great space. That's why it's the perfect time to do something like this."

And according to a different Jenner insider, the 65-year-old reality star is filming his momentous journey, to be shared with viewers on a docu-series this year. "It will air when he is ready to be open about his transition," the source tells PEOPLE. "But he's acting more and more confident and seems very happy."

Jenner's much-documented physical appearance (he's been photographed with longer hair, manicured nails and wearing makeup) has led to much speculation, but according to the insider, Jenner's decision to transition slowly was made in part so that his family would have time to adapt to the change.

"He's being very smart about and also respectful about his transition," the insider says. "Instead of completely shocking everyone, his changes have been subtle, and his family has had the chance to slowly get used to his new looks and life."

And his family, including children Cassandra, 34, Burt, 36 (with ex wife Chrystie Crownover ) and sons Brandon, 33 and Brody, 31 (with ex wife Linda Thompson), as well as daughters Kendall, 19 and Kylie, 17 (with Kris Jenner) are adjusting to the new Bruce. "The [kids'] concern seems to be Bruce's happiness, and he acts very pleased with his new life," says the insider.

Admits the family source: "It is an intense thing. Of course not everyone is 100 percent on board. Different people have different reactions. But everybody loves him."

When asked about Jenner on ET, his stepdaughter Kim Kardashian simply said, "I think everyone goes through things in life, and I think that story and what Bruce is going through, I think he'll share whenever the time is right." And when reached by PEOPLE, son Burt would only say his father is "doing awesome."

"The family is really giving this space and time to Bruce. This is his story and they want him to tell the world the way he wants," the source close to the family says. "They really want to empower him to tell his story so that hopefully he can help other people too. That's the goal."

Now it appears that Jenner, finally happy in his own skin, will soon be ready to live life out in the open. "He has come out to those closest to him," says the family source. "He's so happy and excited. He gets to lay down a huge bag of bricks. He's been through a dark period and is coming out on the other side."

Numerous requests for comment from Jenner and his representatives were met with no reply.

The name is now Belinda Jenner.

Being married to a Kardashian literally drove him over the edge.

Dude is probably taking mouthfuls of scripts all day long like everyone else in Hollywood, or was even before he decided he hates his wanger... Getting in a road accident doesn't seem that surprising.

[notorious]

One of the few men on the planet that was upset that his dick wasn't sheared off in the accident.

So if they charge him for vehicular homicide will he go to a men's prison or a woman's?

Hopefully women's, he might like being everyone's girlfriend in the men's prison a little too much.

Bruce Jenner reportedly plans on being a lesbian once he completes his gender reassignment and becomes 'Belinda.'

The 65-year-old Olympic gold medalist has told loved ones that he 'can't imagine himself being attracted to men.'

'He's not sure if the hormone treatments will change how he feels about men,' a family insider said in the March 9 edition of Star Magazine. 'But right now he says that he still likes women.'

The source continued: 'He's always loved the ladies. He longs to be feminine and pretty - and also to feel the touch of another woman.'

The insider said the Keeping Up with the Kardashians patriarch still has 'deep feelings' for Ronda Kamihira, whom he's rumoured to have been dating since they were spotted at an October 4 Elton John concert.

'They're not super serious right now, but no one would be surprised if their relationship continued to progress,' said the source.

In the upcoming season of KUWTK, Jenner's stepdaughter Kim even confronts him about making momager Kris cry over him dating her 51-year-old former assistant.

'Bruce wants to settle down with a woman. Whoever she is, she will be the first to love Bruce for who he really is. She'll be his one true love.'

The former decathlete has proved himself to be quite the serial monogamist, fathering two children with each of his three wives.

He had Burt, 36, and Casey, 34, with wife #1 Chrystie Crownover, whom he divorced in 1981 after nine years.

Days after it was finalized, Bruce wed wife #2 Linda Thompson for five years, and she bore sons Brandon, 33, and Brody, 31.

Then after only five months of dating, Jenner got hitched to wife #3 Kris, who bore daughters Kendall, 19, and Kylie, 17.

The transgender gossip began in 2013 shortly after he separated from the 59-year-old socialite and moved into a Malibu beach bachelor pad.

The reality TV couple's 23-year marriage will officially end March 23, due to a six-month state legal requirement.

Meanwhile, his 5ft10in stepdaughter Khloé 'has been the most supportive' of his transition, even lending him clothes.

The 6ft2in athlete has already tested the waters by donning a dress for a recent private family event, and the response was 'positive and accepting.'

'He wore a simple dark blue dress with heels, pearl earrings, and a jacket,' the insider said.

According to In Touch, Bruce - born William - hosted a number of parties while dressed as a woman during the early 1980s.

'He knows it's hard but he hopes they get used to it. He's still the same person no matter what,' the source explained.

'But it's a huge adjustment for everyone. He's trying to ease them into it slowly.'

There are also reports Jenner will reveal all in a Diane Sawyer interview and that he's filming his own docu-series.

Fans can expect more revelations on the 10th season of Keeping Up with the Kardashians, which premieres March 15 on E!

I've never heard of a straight guy wanting to be a chick. That's awesome. Good for you Bruce, or Belinda, or Ann, or whatever the hell you wanna be called.
