Caitlyn Jenner's mother calls her 'beautiful'

Bruce Jenner, who is officially a woman with the name Caitlyn, has got a thumbs up from her mother for her new look. Esther, 88, is happy that her 65-year-old daughter is at ease with her female identity, reported People magazine. "She's beautiful!" Esther said.

The family matriarch was introduced to Caitlyn before the former Olympian's much-talked about Vanity Fair cover photo, which had her posing as Caitlyn, was released. "I was there last week, well actually, I got home a week and a half ago. And I met Caitlyn."

Esther said her first impression was that, "She is... so much more at ease." She, however, admitted it would take her some time to adjust to the "change".

"I still have to call him Bruce. His father and I named him that. It's going to be a struggle for me to get used to the change, but happily so... I'm very happy for him – or her!"
