Bruce Jenner's 20/20 interview with Diane Sawyer Friday night is reportedly meant to jumpstart a brand new chapter in the Keeping Up with the Kardashians star's life.

Jenner wants "to reintroduce himself to society as a woman," a source told Us Weekly. "Bruce told Diane he has wanted to be a woman for as far back as he can remember. He always felt it and kept burying it."
Jenner's alleged decision to openly share his gender transition with the public was not a spontaneous one. He's been planning how he'd like it to go down for a while now.
Jenner chose a sit-down interview with Sawyer to make his revelation to the world "because he knew she would work with him to present his journey tastefully," the source said. "He felt safe and in control."
The 65-year-old former Olympian will reportedly be telling "almost" all about his journey.

"Bruce is very proud and excited," the source told Us.
In recent promo clips for the two-hour ABC special dubbed Bruce Jenner: The Interview that will air at 9PM ET/PT, the reality TV star has been shown saying his whole life has been getting him ready for this and he just doesn't want to hurt his family in any way.
Thrice-married Jenner has six children and four stepchildren. As shown on Keeping Up with the Kardashians, Jenner has found a new personal, emotional and financial freedom since divorcing Kris Jenner, his wife of over 22 years, in September 2014. Their divorce became official just last month.
