Justin Bieber encouraged Kanye West to reconcile with wife Kim Kardashian-West
Justin Bieber was pictured visiting Kanye West at his Wyoming ranch this week, and he reportedly gave some sage advice.
Singer Justin Bieber reportedly had a hand in encouraging Kanye West to meet up with his wife Kim Kardashian-West, following his public meltdown last week.
The 26-year-old and his model wife Hailey Bieber visited Kanye’s Wyoming ranch this week to spend some time with the rapper, who battles bipolar disorder, with Kanye uploading a photo of Bieber to his Twitter page on July 25.

According to People, Bieber, who has been among the A-list since his meteoric rise at the age of 13, sympathised with Kanye given his own battle with mental health over the years.
A source told the publication Kanye had “ghosted Kim”, who was “deeply hurt” over his flurry of tweets about the reality star and her mother, Kris Jenner, as well as his emotional presidential rally where he said he and Kim considered aborting North, 7.
Bieber wanted to be “beyond supportive” of his friend, so he encouraged him to reunite with Kim.
“He told Kanye that he needed to talk to Kim,” the source told People. “And Kanye finally texted Kim and they talked on the phone.”
A day after Justin arrived at Wyoming, Kanye publicly apologised to Kim, posting a tweet which read: “I would like to apologise to my wife Kim for going public with something that was a private matter. I did not cover her like she has covered me. To Kim I want to say I know I hurt you. Please forgive me. Thank you for always being there for me.”
The source added that “Kanye didn’t want to face Kim,” following the public apology. “He doesn’t mind having a public spectacle but he avoids conflict when he’s like this. He knows he disappointed her and that kills him.”

Despite this, a day later Kanye and Kim – who are parents to four children – were photographed in emotional scenes as they reconciled in a car.
In a series of paparazzi images, Kim was seen crying during their tense reunion in Wyoming. According to TMZ, Kim was in Wyoming to urge Kanye to seek medical help for bipolar disorder.
The Keeping Up With The Kardashians star was pictured returning to Los Angeles alone yesterday.
The couple, who have been married since 2014, are yet to comment on their meeting, but Kim released a statement last week in which she defended her husband and made mention of his bipolar disorder.
“Anyone who has this or has a loved one in their life who does, knows how incredibly complicated and painful it is to understand,” she wrote.
“I’ve never spoken publicly about how this has affected us at home because I am very protective of our children and Kanye’s right to privacy when it comes to his health.
“Those that understand mental illness or compulsive behaviour know that the family is powerless unless the member is a minor,” she went on.
“People who are unaware or far removed from this experience can be judgmental and not understand that the individual themselves have to engage in the process of getting help no matter how hard the family try.”
