Kanye West helped Kim Kardashian come to terms with step-father Bruce Jenner's transgender revelation.

After coming out in the two-hour special on America's ABC channel, the former Olympian athlete credited Kanye with helping his daughter Kim accept his transition.

Speaking to Diane Sawyer in the programme, Jenner said: “Kim told me a story. She goes, ‘You know what really turned me around on thinking about this?’ I said, ‘What?’ She goes, ‘Kanye.’ I went, ‘Oh, okay,’"

“He says to Kim, ‘Look, I can be married to the most beautiful woman in the world, and I am. I can have the most beautiful little daughter in the world, and I have that. But I’m nothing if I can’t be me. If I can’t be true to myself, they don’t mean anything.’”

He added: “Since then, Kimberly has been, by far, the most accepting, and the easiest to talk to about it.”
