Olympic-winning athlete Bruce Jenner, who is currently undergoing gender reassignment surgery, says his only concern about the transition will be his six children.
Jenner said he does not want to hurt Burt, 36, Casey, 34, Brandon, 33, Brody, 31, Kendall, 19 and Kylie, 17, reported Female First.
The reality TV star - who also has four stepchildren, Rob, 28, Khloe, 30, Kourtney 36 and 34-year-old Kim from his marriage to now estranged wife Kris Jenner, shared his worries in a new clip from his upcoming tell-all interview with Diane Sawyer, which will air on ABC on Friday April 24.
"I can't let myself hurt them. They're the only ones I'm concerned with," Bruce says in the clip.
Although he appears to have no regrets about his decision,
adding: "It made me who I am."
Bruce, 65, is said to be particularly concerned with the impact his decision to live as woman will have on his youngest daughters Kendall and Kylie.
The 'Keeping Up With The Kardashians' star was reported to have been spoiling them with gifts to prove his love to them and ensure his relationship with them doesn't change.
"He's constantly buying his girls gifts all of a sudden and everyone's worried that he's acting out or trying to buy affection.
"They are all trying to talk him into spending less, but he's doing things his way now," a source said.
