Caitlyn Jenner To Pose Naked For ‘Sports Illustrated’
Caitlyn Jenner is taking things to a whole new level. The Olympic gold medalist, previously known as Bruce Jenner, is set to pose naked for Sports Illustrated with nothing but her gold medal and an American flag.
The 66-year-old reality star set a world record in the decathlon at the 1976 summer Olympics in Montreal as Bruce. Now, Caitlyn Jenner will commemorate the 40th anniversary of that win with the racy Sports Illustrated photo spread.
According to Us Weekly, Caitlyn is “excited” about the photoshoot, which may end up resembling ex-wife Kris Jenner’s former photo shoot where she posed topless with the gold medal and a flag as a gift to her then husband.
“I never wanted my kids to feel like they had to have a gold medal in order to be considered a success. I didn’t want them to constantly compare their own achievements to my time in the Olympics, so I haven’t displayed my medal.”
Jenner’s gold medal Sports Illustrated shoot is said to be released in the summer, which will coincide with the 2016 summer Olympics, which are being held in Rio. The Olympics will begin on August 5 and wrap up on August 21.
Meanwhile, as Caitlyn Jenner’s professional life continues to grow, along with her new identity, the transgender rights advocate has been on rocky terms with many members of her family, especially step-daughter, Khloe Kardashian.
In the newest episode of Keeping Up With The Kardashians, Khloe is seen telling her mother, Kris Jenner, that Caitlyn had sent her some nasty text messages after Khloe spoke about Cait during an interview with Howard Stern. Although Khloe claims she said nothing bad about Caitlyn, her former step-dad accused the reality star of “talking s***” about her during the sit-down.
After the ordeal, Kris called Caitlyn and got very emotional, asking Cait to back off Khloe a bit.
“This is not intentional, you’re making this so hard. You were her father. You were her dad since she was 5 years old. Give her a break.”
As far as Caitlyn Jenner’s involvement on Keeping Up With The Kardashians, fans will likely see a few appearances from the former Olympian, but since she has her own reality TV spin-off, I Am Cait, it isn’t likely that she’ll be filming too much for the series on her own.
However, fans can expect some appearances by Lamar Odom and Rob Kardashian, who haven’t been seen on the show in years. Lamar will be seen with Khloe Kardashian, who has been helping to nurse him back to health since his shocking near death drug overdose last fall.
Meanwhile, Rob Kardashian’s new girlfriend, Blac Chyna, has really brought him out of his shell. Not only is he filming the reality show again, but his relationship with Chyna will be a huge storyline throughout the season, especially since Chyna has a very dramatic history with the Kardashian girls.
It looks like Kardashian/Jenner fans have a lot to look forward to out of the family in the coming months, but Caitlyn may be stealing the show with her big, Olympic themed, Sports Illustrated spread.
