Kim Kardashian West has revealed she first met her stepmother Caitlyn Jenner - who was previously known as Bruce Jenner before undergoing a gender transition - when she attended her Vanity Fair shoot. The 'Keeping Up With The Kardashians' star has revealed she first laid eyes on her stepmother - who was previously known as Bruce Jenner before undergoing a gender transition - when she attended the cover shoot, Caitlyn's first as a woman. She told Entertainment Tonight: ''It was so beautiful. I actually went to the shoot, and that was my first time meeting Caitlyn. ''She's beautiful, and I'm so proud that she can just be her authentic self. I guess that's what life is about.'' Meanwhile, Kim previously spoke out about the family's unfaltering support for Caitlyn. She said: ''No matter what, we love [Caitlyn]. I know [she] feels great that [her] whole family does support [her]. 'I feel for people that don't have that support. There's such a high suicide rate in the transgender community, which is heartbreaking.'' The 34-year-old television personality also took to social media to share a snap from the photo shoot, urging her stepmother to be ''happy [and] proud'' with who she is. She wrote: ''Caitlyn Jenner for Vanity Fair. Annie Leibovitz! How beautiful! Be happy, be proud, live life YOUR way! (sic)''Caitlyn Jenner for Vanity Fair Annie Leibovitz! How beautiful!
