Bruce Jenner 'the happiest' Kim Kardashian has seen him

LOS ANGELES, Jan. 27 (UPI) -- Kim Kardashian addressed the controversy surrounding her former stepfather Bruce Jenner during a chat with Entertainment Tonight about her new Super Bowl commercial for T-Mobile.

The 65-year-old Olympian has been the subject of speculation in recent months over his increasingly feminine look -- he's been photographed sporting a longer hairstyle and colorful nail polish at times -- and his transformation story was recently featured on the cover of In Touch magazine, where he was photoshopped to look like a woman.

"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," said Kardashian. "I feel like that's his journey to talk about."

As for the recent family photo shared by her and a few of their sisters on social media -- a snapshot featuring Jenner posing with his daughters and step-daughters -- Kardashian said it wasn't meant to be a "secret message."

"Well we support Bruce no matter what, so we were just at his house hanging out and we wanted to take a picture, that was not like a secret message like, 'We support Bruce,'" she said, adding "Of course we support Bruce 100 percent."

Pressed for more details about Jenner's life, the 34-year-old reality star said he was "the happiest" she's ever seen him.
