Caitlyn Jenner has made her first public appearance Monday on the cover of Vanity Fair.
Annie Leibovitz photographed Jenner in her Malibu home for the magazine's July issue. Jenner was also interviewed by sports writer Buzz Bissinger for the cover story.
In a behind-the-scenes video from the shoot, Jenner says, "The last few days of doing this shoot is about my life and who I am as a person."
She continues, "It's not about the fanfare. It's not about people cheering in the stadium. It's not about me going in the street and everybody giving me a 'thattaboy, Bruce' pat on the back. This is about your life."
"Bruce... always had to tell a lie," Jenner says. "He was always living that. Every day, you always had a secret, from morning till night. Caitlyn doesn't have any secrets. As soon as the Vanity Fair cover comes out, I'm free."
When the Vanity Fair cover began circulating, Caitlyn Jenner's official Twitter account launched. She tweeted the cover and her excitement for the world to meet Caitlyn.
I'm so happy after such a long struggle to be living my true self. Welcome to the world Caitlyn. Can't wait for you to get to know her/me.
And her stepdaughter, Khloe Kardashian, posted on Instagram how proud she is of Jenner.
Kim Kardashian tweeted her support, saying "Be happy, be proud, live life YOUR way!"
