Caitlyn Jenner's mother Esther, 88, pays tribute to her child smiling through tears of joy at ESPY Awards!
As Caitlyn Jenner took to the stage on Wednesday to accept her Arthur Ashe Courage Award, at the ESPY’s, there was one woman in the audience who was possibly more proud than anyone else in the room – her Mum.
Esther Jenner smiled through tears of joy and pride, her face beaming, as her child spoke from the heart to an audience filled with some of the sporting world’s most talented and gifted.
Seen speaking in a video before Caitlyn went up to the podium, the mother of two was candid, honest and loving about her feelings regarding her son Bruce, who made the brave step to become the woman she is today.
On the verge of weeping, she said in the clip: ‘He couldn’t open up to us because he couldn’t tell us his deepest feelings, and I had no idea.
‘Of all people your mother should have a good insight to that.’
