Looks like someone will have to make room for another award to hang next to that Olympic gold medal...

Bruce Jenner may not always be the center of attention on Keeping Up with the Kardashians—especially if you watched the premiere episode this past Sunday!—but according to Esquire, the legendary Olympian is their "Father of the Year"!

The magazine gave the 62-year-old that title for its June issue, along with a profile that offers readers a rare look at the man behind the Kardashian women.

"If there is a moral center in this crazy house, he is still that," author Chris Jones writes...

There are also some loving quotes from our gal-pals on how they feel about Bruce. "He's just such a good person with such a good heart," Khloé Kardashian-Odom says. While Kim Kardashian states, "He's such a strong man."

The article goes on to talk about the fatherly duties Bruce enjoys when the cameras aren't rolling—like driving Kylie and Kendall Jenner to school. Well, up until recently when Kendall got her license.

"He's heartbroken that he can't drive the car pool anymore," Kourtney Kardashian is quoted as saying, "He really looked forward to that."

The revealing interview uncovers Bruce's life leading up to his Olympic glory, what made him such a strong athlete and his current focus on being a good father to his children.

"He has learned that there may be no greater love a father can give his children than to accept that his life really didn't begin until theirs did," Jones writes.

Congrats, Bruce! We can't think of anyone else more deserving!
