Preview clips for Keeping Up with the Kardashians: About Bruce show Kendall Jenner and Kris Jenner's very emotional reactions to the news Bruce Jenner is transgender and wants to live as a woman.

In two separate promos released by the Today show this week, members of the Kardashian and Jenner family are shown trying to process Bruce's desire to follow his heart and transition into a female.
Kendall Jenner, who is Bruce's 19-year-old daughter with Kris, interrupted her conversation with Bruce in order to get a tissue.
"He's the most amazing person I know," Kendall told a cameraman in tears. "I couldn't have asked for a better dad. He taught me how to ride a bike and be the tomboy that I am. Every single day, we went to school 45 minutes from home and he would drive us to school -- and he'd be the first one in the line to pick us up."
Another clip didn't show Kris interacting personally with Bruce, however, Kim Kardashian tried to explain how Bruce might be feeling to her mother.

"He had to deal with this his entire life of waking up and feeling like, 'Whoa, this isn't my body! This doesn't feel comfortable.' That's the only way I can kind of imagine it. And you really kind of have to let go," Kim told Kris, who burst into tears.
"I have these memories of this life," Kris noted. "I feel sometimes like it didn't exist."
Kim, on the other hand, apparently took Bruce's news extremely well. Bruce told Diane Sawyer in his 20/20 ABC special that Kim has been the most supportive child ever since her husband Kanye West gave her an insightful perspective on how difficult it would be to live happily when you can't even be yourself.
"I've had secrets all my life," Bruce was shown telling Kim. "It's tough not to have secrets."
Bruce then showed Kim his bright pink toenail polish. Kim said she was very "impressed" and commented on how feminine his feet look.

"Yeah, actually, they come out pretty good and I do them all myself. I do all my nails myself," Bruce said proudly as Kim smiled. "Actually, I do very good in the makeup department. I could do your makeup. I could do it all, baby!"
Since Keeping Up with the Kardashians: About Bruce will show Bruce's family reacting to his gender announcement, it would make more sense as to why Kris might've allegedly declined comment for his 20/20 interview during which the 65-year-old former Olympians' two other ex-wives gave beautiful statements to express their approval.
The two Keeping Up with the Kardashians specials will air on May 17 and May 18 at 9PM ET/PT on E!.
