A new preview clip has surfaced from Keeping Up With The Kardashians’ upcoming two-part special ‘About Bruce’, in which Kylie Jenner speaks out about meeting her dad’s female side, in light of his gender transition.

“I do want to meet her, when he’s ready. When we’re both ready,” says the 17-year-old, who is the youngest of Bruce’s 10 children and stepchildren.

The E! show – which airs in the US on May 17th and 18th – also sees Kendall Jenner get tearful, admitting, “I just don’t like when people say Bruce is gonna be gone.”

However, her 65-year-old father is heard reassuring the model, “I’m not going anywhere.”

Bruce revealed his gender transition in an in-depth interview with Diane Sawyer, but About Bruce will see the Olympian break the news to his family, including Kourtney, Kim and Khloe Kardashian.

Bruce Jenner: Through The Years

In his younger years, Bruce used to try on his sister's dress and his mum's scarves. “I didn’t know why I was doing it, except it just made me feel good.”

Bruce Jenner’s first wife Chrystie Crownover was the first person to know he was questioning his identity, in the early 1970s, when he told her that he was into “a little cross-dressing… It’s fine, we’ll work all this stuff out.”

Second wife Linda Thompson also knew, with Bruce opening up a little more, and explaining, “it’s not something you can overcome, fix or pray away.”

"Gender was a big part of the breakup...I wasn't as fair as I should have been," explained Bruce, on why his marriage to Linda collapsed.

When Bruce met Kris Jenner, he had been taking female hormones for almost five years, and had also undergone electrolysis to get rid of his beard and chest hair.

He says Kris knew he had been taking the hormones and liked wearing women's clothes, but added, "I kind of downplayed it.”

“If [Kris] were good with it, we’d probably still be together,” admitted Bruce, when speaking of his decision to transition.

Bruce isn’t gay and has no plans to enter a relationship with a man. "No, I'm not gay. I am as far as I know, heterosexual," said the 65-year-old. "I've never been with a guy, I've always been married, raising kids."

When stories about Bruce's tracheal shave leaked, he contemplated suicide, but - thankfully - talked himself out of it. “I mean, I want to know how this story ends,” he said.

Bruce's youngest children, Kendall and Kylie Jenner, once caught him trying on a dress. Kendall had set up a webcam because she thought Kylie was stealing her clothes, but then when she checked the footage, they saw their dad.

The first of Bruce's children to know about his transition was Brandon Jenner, who admits he didn't take it "perfectly" at first, but now “I feel like I’m getting an upgraded version of my dad.”

Bruce told Diane Sawyer that of his 10 children, Kim “has by far been the most accepting and easiest to talk about it with." Turns out Kanye West helped Kim by explaining to his wife that no matter how much a person has, "I’m nothing if I can’t be me.”

In fact, Kim has been so accepting of Bruce's transition that she told him, “Girl, you gotta rock it, baby. You gotta look good.”

Khloe Kardashian took things the hardest. “You would think that out of all the kids, Khloe is the most open-minded,” said Bruce. “She’s had the toughest time with it, because she’s had a lot of loss in her life.”

Kendall and Kylie had this to say about their dad's transition: “We love our dad very much, he has the biggest heart and all we want is for him to be happy, if he’s happy, we’re happy.”

It is thought that we'll see Bruce tell all of his children about his transition on the season finale of Keeping Up With The Kardashians on May 31st.

“I’d be so mad at myself if I didn’t explore that side of me,” Bruce said, on realising - in his 60s - that he didn't want to die having only lived as a man.

Bruce has picked a new name, but didn't reveal it to Sawyer as, "The media would go crazy".

Bruce may undergo a full surgical gender reassignment, but if he does, don't expect another two-hour special. “I would do it so quietly, no one in the world would ever know."

He believes that by speaking out on his journey, Bruce can help raise awareness and stop the stigma around LGBTQ issues. “We’re going to make a difference in the world with what we’re doing."
