Kanye West wants Caitlyn Jenner's transgender girlfriend to become Yeezy model?

Kanye West allegedly wants Caitlyn Jenner's rumoured girlfriend Sophia Hutchins to become a Yeezy model. This claim comes after the 41-year-old rapper revealed that he is in touch with the 68-year-old reality TV star.

Kanye took to his Twitter account to post screenshots of their conversation. Caitlyn wrote: "Sophia loved the first set of looks your team left and went all yeezy for her travel outfit today! We love your looks!! Thanks again."

"So awesome. Your welcome," he replied.

According to Radar Online, West wants to work with the 22-year-old transgender model. A source said: "'Ye thinks Sophia looked bomb in her new Yeezy Boosts and is talking to her about working for him full-time as a model."

"He thinks she could be a huge supermodel, and wants to help her get her big break," the insider added.

"Sophia and Cait love the the idea, and Cait's really pushing her to take Kanye up on his offer. Cait feels there's room for two models in the family, and told Sophia she'd ask Kendall to give her a few pointers," the source shared.

Jenner made her anticipated debut as a woman on the cover of Vanity Fair magazine in 2015. In the cover image captured by renowned fashion photographer Annie Leibovitz, she can be seen wearing a cream corseted bodysuit alongside the headline "Call me Caitlyn".

Meanwhile, it is no secret that Caitlyn has been not in good terms with the Kardashian clan ever since she and Kris Jenner got divorced in 2014. The pair remained on-and-off-friends seemingly until the release of her memoir, The Secrets of My Life.

At the time, the Kardashians, especially Kim Kardashian West, expressed disapproval of the book's contents and even cut ties with Caitlyn. During an appearance on Good Morning Britain, Kim talked about her fall out with the mother-of-three.

"I love Kim. She's a great person," Caitlyn said of her former step-daughter. "I have such respect for her as a mother, as a businessperson, but like Kris, she is very opinionated, but that's OK. I love that about her."

"It's unfortunate, because actually Kim was the first one I talked to about this issue. She was very straightforward with me. She's been very, very good on it. It's a big loss in my life, not having her there anymore. To me, I mean, that's sad," she added.
