Amid his divorce from Keeping Up With the Kardashians star Kim Kardashian, Kanye West is rumored to be dating model Irina Shayk. Kim officially filed for divorce in late February after months of speculation regarding the state of their marriage. After Kanye made several inappropriate remarks about their relationship and her family, Kim realized the marriage was no longer working. Despite the end of the marriage, the estranged couple plan on co-parenting their four children together.
Rumors of a Kimye divorce began after fans noticed he wasn't at Kim's extravagant private island 40th birthday celebration. Since then, the pair were rarely seen together, with Kim never sharing anything about him on social media. Divorce speculation reignited after Kanye was noticeably absent from the family's Christmas gatherings. Fans didn't want to believe the rumors until it was confirmed by several media outlets that the infamous couple had filed for divorce. However, it seems Kayne moves on quickly, as he is already rumored to be in another relationship.
But who is Kanye's rumored girlfriend, Irina Shayk? Irina is well-known for being one of the fashion world's most famous supermodels. She has appeared on the runways for Bottega Veneta, Marc Jacobs, Moschino, Burberry, Versace, Givenchy, and so many more. Irina was born and raised in Russia before she moved to the United States as an adult to pursue a career in modeling. In 2007, Irina was the face of the luxury lingerie brand Intimissimi. The same year, she made her debut in the annual Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue that skyrocketed her to fame (via Pop Culture). In the past, Irina has also modeled for the Guess 2009 campaign, as well as the Victoria Secret catalog. Since then, you cannot go to a fashion show without seeing Irina on the runway.
Besides her flourishing modeling career, Irina is also known for her dating life. In 2009, she began dating soccer player Cristiano Ronaldo soon after meeting him. However, the pair split in 2015. Rumor has it, the soccer player wasn't loyal to Irina, and she decided it was time to end the relationship (via Hello Magazine). A few months later, Irina began a relationship was actor Bradley Cooper. Two years later, the couple welcomed their first child together, a daughter named Lea De Seine, who was born in Los Angeles on March 21, 2017. However, their relationship did not last either, and the pair split in 2019. Now, it seems Irina may be dating Kim Kardashian's estranged husband. In fact, in 2010, the model appeared in Kanye's music video for his song, "Power," from his album, My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy.
While the rumors of a relationship between Irina and Kanye have yet to be confirmed, the romance doesn't seem so shocking. Irina is in the fashion industry, which Kanye loves and keeps up with on a daily basis. Plus, the pair has a past, as she appeared in one of his music videos more than a decade ago. Irina and Kanye may be the next power couple.
