Bruce Jenner, the former Olympic gold medal-winning decathlete who revealed recently that "for all intents and purposes" he is a woman, is now Caitlyn Jenner.
The revelation was made in Vanity Fair, which tweeted an image of Jenner on the cover of its July issue.
"If I was lying on my deathbed and I had kept this secret and never ever did anything about it, I would be lying there saying, 'You just blew your entire life,' " Jenner tells the magazine's Buzz Bissinger.
As we reported last month, Jenner, 65, described to ABC's Diane Sawyer a lifelong struggle with gender identity.
As NPR's Christopher Dean Hopkins reported: "Jenner told Sawyer that he hoped that being public with his identity and struggle might help change perceptions and increase acceptance of transgender individuals."
Jenner's children and step-children, the Kardashians, have all expressed support for the move.
