Kanye West has been keeping in touch with Caitlyn Jenner despite the fact his wife Kim Kardashian and her siblings have shunned their former stepfather following the release of her memoir last year (17).

The retired transgender Olympian, previously known as Bruce, famously clashed with the Kardashian clan after they accused Caitlyn of making up lies about their mum Kris and their 24-year marriage in her candid autobiography, Secrets of My Life.

Kim even went as far as to brand Caitlyn a "liar" and "not a good person" on TV, during an episode of the family reality show Keeping Up with the Kardashians, which aired in September, 2017, and last November (17), the 68 year old admitted she had become estranged from Kris' four eldest kids she had helped to raise.

"It's been a little bit tough over the last couple of years on the Kardashian side," Caitlyn confessed during a chat at Britain's Cambridge Union, according to the Cambridge News. "To be honest, I don't talk to them anymore. Kim, I haven't talked to in a year."

However, it appears Kim's husband has been keeping in touch with Caitlyn, and has even sent her clothing gifts from his Yeezy apparel line.

Kanye took to Twitter on Wednesday (29Aug18) to share screenshots of his text message conversations with Caitlyn, who thanked him for his generosity, and shared a photo of her friend and rumoured partner, Sophia Hutchins, dressed head-to-toe in Yeezy garments.

"Sophia loved the first set of looks your team left and went all yeezy for her travel outfit today! We love your looks!!" Jenner wrote. "Thanks again".

"So awesome," the rap superstar replied. "Your (sic) welcome."

It's not clear if Caitlyn, who shares biological daughters Kylie and Kendall Jenner with Kris, has since patched up her relationship with Kim and her siblings Kourtney, Khloe, and Rob, but she was in attendance at Kylie's recent 21st birthday celebrations.
