Kanye keeps up with Caitlyn

Kanye West spends "hours" talking to Caitlyn Jenner on the phone and the pair share a "deep connection".

The Famous rapper was hospitalised in November amid reports he had suffered a breakdown and he has reportedly turned to the I Am Cait star - who was previously married to Kanye's mother-in-law Kris Jenner - for "counselling" as he gets back on track.

A source told Closer magazine: "Caitlyn has been counselling Kanye over the past few months and they often talk for hours on the phone. He feels a deep connection with Caitlyn, who has had bouts of depression and struggled in the limelight, which Kanye can relate to."

And Caitlyn is urging the 39 year-old musician to focus on his family life with wife Kim Kardashian West and their children North, three, and 14 month-old Saint. The source added: "Caitlyn knows what it's like to be in a high-profile marriage and the added pressure of having young kids."

Caitlyn, 67, has previously spoken of the strong bond with Kanye, saying "Kanye and I get along very well. He treats Kim very well, that's what I care about. He's always been a good dad with the kids."
