Kendall Jenner has finally opened up about her father Bruce Jenner's transition into womanhood.

"I love my dad. He's always been there for me and my sisters," Kendall told Us Weekly of the former Olympian, 65, who has six children and four stepkids with ex-wives Kris Jenner, Linda Thompson, and Chrystie Crownover.
"He's a wonderful man. And just because he's changing shoes now, so to speak, it doesn't make him less wonderful. I will always love my dad, whether he's a man or a woman."
Kendall, a 19-year-old model and Keeping Up with the Kardashians star, shared this opinion when she was backstage at Comedy Central's roast of Justin Bieber this past Saturday. It would appear to validate sources who have said the kids are very supportive of Bruce's transformation and protective of him.
The Kardashian and Jenner clans deal with gossip and criticism on a daily basis, but Kendall said there's one misconception about her family that really frustrates her.

"When people say we don't work hard. That's just the biggest lie ever. All of our family members are super dedicated to their work, and we all know how to commit ourselves to our jobs. It's a great quality to have, I think. A good work ethic goes a long way," she said.
Kendall also said her sisters, who range in age from 17 to 35, are all "very tight."
"We tell each other everything," Kendall told Us. "I am so proud of all of them. I spend as much time with them as I possibly can."
As for who she's dating right now, Kendall didn't reveal anything except she's not romantically involved with Bieber.
"If I commented on every single story about who I am dating at the moment, I wouldn't stop talking. Justin and I are very good friends. I think he's super cool. And that's about it," Kendall said, adding that she likes to associate with people who know what it's like to be in the spotlight all the time.

"When you grow up in the public eye, it's a little difficult for others to understand what you are going through sometimes. It's not normal to go get a coffee in the morning and have paparazzi follow you. And some people might not understand that. My famous friends get it. We are on the same page."
Kendall currently loves her career as a model, but she admitted she won't be able to do it for the rest of her life.
"It's crazy, but I love it. I think this is something you can only do when you are young, though," she noted.
And when modeling isn't an option anymore, Kendall said she'd love to give acting a try because it really interests her.
