Kanye West wants as many kids as Kim Kardashian West desires.

Speaking on Thursdays 'The Ellen DeGeneres Show', he says: "Yeah, we're trying. I just want whatever Kim wants."

The usually outspoken star also admits he has learned to "shut up more" since marrying Kim last year and he insists having both her and their baby daughter has helped him to become a better person.

He added: "I’ve definitely learned how to compromise more, which is something you have to understand when you partner with people in business.

"And I’ve learned how to shut up more. I think I’m a better human being because of [Kim] and because of my daughter.

"And I have always someone to think about going home to and you know something for me to be brave for what I want to do for humanity, but also to be more protective of myself for my family too.

"Cause there are things I’ve done in the past that were considered negative, but I was really jumping in front of the tank for other people or for culture in a way so now I always have to have that in my mind that I have a family that I have to protect too."

Brand new 'Keeping Up With The Kardashians' airs Thursdays at 9pm on 4Music - Freeview 18, Sky 360 and Virgin 330. Watch online at www.4music.com/watchnow or stream live from The Box Plus app.
