Strong bonds. Bruce Jenner's family members took to Twitter and Instagram on Friday, April 24, to send the Olympic athlete, 65, support and love as his highly anticipated interview with Diane Sawyer aired on ABC.

Brandon Jenner, Bruce's 33-year-old son from his second marriage to Linda Thompson, shared a touching photo via Instagram in the moments before the interview began. The reality star posted a shot of himself as a young boy, riding on his grinning father's shoulders.

As Sawyer, 69, showed footage of Bruce in the Olympics and the longtime star discussed his gender identity as a woman, Khloe tweeted, "Worlds Greatest Athlete," adding three heart emojis.

Khloe, who is watching the special with her family members by her side, went on to retweet a message from Lady Gaga, who wrote with a heart, "#BruceJennerABC Now that is bravery."

Kylie Jenner retweeted the same words, going on to share another message from the singer reading, "We have the chance to write this moment in history together. Let's empower people like Bruce all over the world by being loving & not mean."
