One mention of his main ladies, and Yeezy can't help but beam with pride!

Kanye West was up early to catch a flight to San Fran this morning, and when our videographer brought up wife Kim Kardashian and adorable daughter North, the rapper was unusually smiley and chatty. We've figured out the key to diffusing the hip hop bad boy's temper - compliment the women in his life!

Asked if he said special things to his beautiful wife to mark their anniversary, KW replied, "Yeah, I did." So what did the Louis Vuitton Don have to say when we told him that baby North West was the cutest baby we've ever seen in our life? "I agree," he said with a grin.

Us Weekly reported that the A-list couple were planning to renew their vows in Paris for their first anniversary, and that the "Black Skinhead" crooner had rented out the Eiffel Tower, but it seems like they got their facts wrong. X17online.com can report exclusively that the couple road-tripped to Arizona for their 1st anniversary. A far cry from Paris!

Family life has turned him into a complete softie, and we love it!
