Scott Disick's bond with Caitlyn Jenner has only strengthened now that she can be herself.
The reality star helps the 66-year-old former Olympian fix a broken smoke detector on this week's I am Cait, before opening up about the deep emotional changes he has seen in her throughout her gender identity journey.

"I see a dramatic change," the 32-year-old explains. "Not visually, so much, but really just emotionally."
"I really believe when Caitlyn was Bruce, he was really shut off and angry and just not happy," he continues. "Now that she can be who she really wants to be ...I feel a real connection."
Scott and Caitlyn have remained seemingly close even as his relationship with estranged partner Kourtney Kardashian has been in limbo. Earlier in April, Scott opened up about how the former couple's children -- Mason, 6, and Penelope, 3, who remember Caitlyn from before her transition, and 15-month-old Reign, who does not -- have not been privy to everything that has happened.
“I feel like Caitlyn has been so busy running around and traveling and bringing awareness,” he shared on I Am Cait. “My kids don't really know exactly what's gone on. I don't know if they're old enough.”
