Bruce Jenner will break his silence about his gender transition in an interview with Diane Sawyer on ABC on Friday, April 24 at 9 p.m. Eastern. The network announced the air date on Monday. Jenner’s conversation will come in the form of a two-hour special edition of “20/20.”
While the content of Sawyer’s interview with Jenner has not been confirmed, it is widely expected that the “Keeping Up with the Kardashians” star and former Olympic hero will finally publicly discuss his long-rumored plans to transition from male to female. Meanwhile, Jenner’s reported E! docu-series about his journey remains delayed, with no timetable set.
In recent months, there has been growing speculation about Jenner’s gender transition, although its exact nature has remained under wraps and the subject of pure conjecture. None of Jenner’s famous family members have spoken in detail about his decision, although Us Weekly published a fabricated interview with his daughter Kendall at one point. There have been reports that Jenner’s loved ones have been largely supportive behind closed doors.
With Jenner himself keeping silent until his Sawyer interview, tabloids have run wild with rumors about surgery, family squabbling, and potential ramifications for the clan’s TV empire. In the midst of everything, Jenner was involved in a fatal car accident, and his physical appearance has been analyzed from every angle by hundreds of outlets. It will be nice to hear directly from Jenner exactly what he wants to share. Will you be watching the interview with Diane Sawyer?
