Bruce Jenner's youngest daughter, Kylie Jenner, even took to Instagram to share that she and their whole reality TV family still fully support the "Keeping Up With The Kardashians" patriarch.
A photo uploaded on the 17-year-old reality star's Instagram page showed her and her sisters - Kim Kardashian, Khloe Kardashian, Kourtney Kardashian, and Kendall Jenner - in an affectionate moment with their father. The image was captioned, "Family first."
"They just wanted him to know that despite everything he's going through in the media and in his own personal life, they wanted to reassure him that they love him and encourage him to do whatever it is he wants," an insider explained to Hollywood Life.
