How to Watch

Watch The Real Housewives of Atlanta on Peacock and the Bravo App.

NeNe Leakes tuned into the recent Bruce Jenner interview and couldn't be more impressed with the former Olympian. And it turns out that the two have something in common: their realness. “It’s really hard, by the way, to come in and just be an open book and be so authentic and real and really open up their lives to the world that way,” she tells Us Magazine. “Not many people can do that. Nobody but me and Bruce Jenner. Me and Bruce Jenner are the only ones who can do such a thing, honey!”

The Real Housewives of Atlanta star is already pretty tight with the Kardashian clan (she dished that she’s currently working with Kim on a secret project), but it’s really Bruce she wants to be besties with. “I’m really cool with Kim, but I want to be best friends with Bruce Jenner,” she reveals.

"For 65 years he has not been able to truly live his life the way he wanted to live his life. That is hard," she says. "But what's really great about it is that he said, 'You know what? After 65 years I'm about to out here and do it full force because I am not going to leave this Earth and not have really done what I wanted to do and how I really wanted to do it."

In terms of the transformation, NeNe is encouraging Bruce to not waste anymore time and to go all the way in. “Honey, you go honey! You do your thing,” she says. “You get your nails done. Get your weave put in, and you just be fabulous.”

Who knows? There might just be a girl’s night in their future. “Go right on, be fabulous. I’m all for it,” she says. “We’re gonna have a cocktail." Yaaas, hunni!
