Bruce will talk about his marriage to Kris and her support during his sex transition, reports Hollywood Life.
The report adds that each of Bruce's Kardashian step-daughters along with his own daughters, Kylie and Kendall Jenner, will show their support via social media. However, none of them were featured in the special as well.
TMZ states that Bruce will reportedly talk about his life since the age of five, which is when he felt he began to identify himself as a woman. The special will apparently show several interviews that were shot for the special over a period of time.
The 65-year-old will talk about the difficulties he went through because he identified himself as a woman, reports TMZ. In addition, Bruce seemingly spent a great amount of time explaining his decision to become a woman and how it affected his family.
