Kris Jenner thinks Caitlyn Jenner looks ''beautiful''.

The 59-year-old showbiz matriarch - who has daughters Kendall, 19, and Kylie, 17, with Caitlyn as well as children Kourtney, 36, Kim, 34, Khloe, 31, and Rob, 28, with the late Robert Kardashian - has praised her former lover, who underwent a gender transition earlier this year, after her ESPYs speech.

Kris said: ''I think it was amazing and very brave. I think she looked beautiful.''

In her speech, in which Caitlyn accepted the Arthur Ashe Courage Award, she urged athletes to be more accepting of transgender people.

She said: ''This transition has been harder on me than anything I could have imagined.

''And that's the case for so many others besides me. For that reason alone, trans people deserve something vital. They deserve your respect.

''And from that respect comes a more compassionate community, a more empathetic society, and a better world for all of us.''
