Kris Jenner thinks Kanye West is ''amazing''.

The showbiz matriarch is delighted her daughter Kim Kardashian is moving on from her doomed marriage to Kris Humphries - who she split from in October just 72 days after they tied the knot - with the rapper because he makes her happy.

Kris told Closer magazine: ''After spending time with Kanye, I think he's an amazing guy. I want Kim to be with someone who makes her happy. They get on so well, so it's all good. I want them to follow their hearts.''

Despite occasional rows on their show 'Keeping Up with the Kardashians', Kris is close to her six children and is pleased they can always confide in her.

She said: ''I'm a mother and I want to keep my children happy and healthy. We might have the odd spat on the show, but we communicate really well and they can tell me anything.

''We spend every day together. And, believe me, I keep their feet firmly on the ground.''

Kris is currently looking forward to becoming a grandmother again and has vowed to be by the side of daughter Kourtney - who already has two-year-old son Mason with partner Scott Disick - when she gives birth to her baby girl.

She said: ''I'll be there holding Kourtney's hand while the cameras film the birth. She had such an easy, natural labour last time, she loved every minute of it and she's hoping to do the same again.''
