"I will say that I think Bruce should tell his story his way," the reality star adds. "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."
Since then, Bruce has shared more details with his mother Esther, and the 88-year-old woman opened up about her son's decision to become a woman.
The Associated Press asked Esther about her son's transition, and she had some pretty candid things to say.
"He said, 'Mom, I'm still the same person,' " she told the news outlet. " He said, 'I'm still going to race cars, I'm still going to fly airplanes and I'm going to get my helicopter license.' "
Although Esther says the news came as a shock, she's quite proud of her son and explains that she is "at peace with what he is and what he's doing."
"He said, 'I want to be honest about my identity and I know this is coming out in the press,' " his mother says. "He started by saying, 'We need to have a long, serious talk.' "
