"I Am Cait" star Caitlyn Jenner is allegedly dating Candis Cayne, according to Star. Rumor has it that the romance spurred from friendly to flirty after they spent some time in the New York Pride event on June 28.
The docu-series of E! will feature the life of Jenner as she transitioned from Bruce to Caitlyn, but what about Cayne? What do we know of this blonde girl who, according to speculations, captured the former Olympian's heart?
Here's the list of five facts about Caitlyn Jenner's rumored girlfriend.
1. She had no knowledge of what transsexuals are.
You can't know everything. Knowledge is earned from somewhere or someone, and that's true for Cayne. She's a transgender woman and was formerly known as Brendan McDaniel.
She moved to New York in early 1990s, unaware of what transsexual means. Three years later, she realized that the term specifically described how she felt about herself.
2. Candis Cayne's moniker was based from her drag mother's name.
Lana Cayne was her drag mother. Cayne [Candis] wanted to keep it in the family.
At that point, it was something she couldn't change. However, given the chance, she would have probably let her parents do it, like what she said in an interview with Out.
She was hired as a dance teacher for TLC's music video of "No Scrubs" in 1999 and Kelis' "Milkshake" in 2003.
She appeared and did the choreography for the film "To Wong Foo, Thanks for Everything! Julie Newmar."
3. Her transition was supported by her family.
She decided to tell her parents about it following a hormone therapy. Surprisingly, her dad told her that it made sense for her to become a woman rather than a gay man.
Her twin brother, named Dylan, was also very supportive of her decision. She said she was fortunate for not losing any members of her family during the transition.
4. She spent some time with Kim Kardashian and Jenner's ex-wife, Kris.
She was photographed with "KUWTK" stars Kim and Kris during the Elizabeth Taylor Aids Foundation event in 2014, Hollywood Life has learned.
5. She is a pro in dancing.
After graduating from Baldwin High School in Maui, Hawaii, she moved to Los Angeles, where she was trained to dance. She became a choreographer following her move to New York.
There are no confirmations yet from both sides, but many are hoping that this is a real deal because Jenner and Cayne would make a unique couple.
"I Am Cait" is set to premiere on July 26, as per E! News.
