It looks like Keeping Up With The Kardashians stars Kanye West has officially moved on from Kim Kardashian. In fact, there are many clues that suggest that Kanye could be dating 35-year-old Irina Shayk. She is a Russian model and actress who had famous ex-partners in the past. For instance, the model dated Cristiano Ronaldo in 2009, and their relationship went on for five years. In 2015, she started dating Bradley Cooper, and the couple became parents to their first daughter. Alas, Irina split from Bradley in 2019 after four years together. She is now sparking dating rumors with Kim's estranged husband, Kanye. Many Keeping Up With The Kardashians fans may feel like it is too soon given that Kim just filed for divorce a few months ago in February 2021.
As fast as this may seem, it is big news for the fans. There are various clues out there that suggest Kanye West and Irina Shayk are probably dating. There is also the fact that Kanye and Irina have previously worked together, which makes a good case for how the two may already be good friends. Irina first received international recognition after appearing on the cover of the 2011 Swimsuit Issue of Sports Illustrated. Irina has done a variety of work in movies, music videos, web series, and video games. She is known for her role as Megara in the 2014 live-action adaptation of Hercules. The fans first saw Irina with the rapper in 2010, when she was cast alongside Jessica White and Diandra Forrest for the music video of Kanye's "Power".
Back in 2010, Kim Kardashian was still not even dating Kanye West. In turn, Irina Shayk was dating Cristiano Ronaldo. The Greek god-themed shoot for "Power" was perfect for the model, and that music video soon became very popular. But what does this have to do with the rumors between Kanye and Irina in 2021? It's a fact that Kanye's video shoots have played a big role in his relationships. After all, Kanye's ex-fiancée, Amber Rose, was cast in one of his videos before they began dating. Similarly, Kim was also a part of Alligator Boots, a puppet show made by Kanye years before they began dating.
In a report, gossip site DeuxMoi wrote: "Kanye West is now secretly dating Irina Shayk aka Bradley Cooper's baby mama." Later, the publication added: "After further looking into this, I don't know if 'dating' is the right word, but there is perhaps some interest there." Irina was also spotted wearing a T-shirt Kanye designed with Balenciaga, which is telling considering it had happened right when the rumors began. After appearing in the "Power" music video, Irina was also seen modeling for Kanye's collection at Paris Fashion Week in 2012. Many Keeping Up With The Kardashians viewers have been divisive about the rumors.
News outlets have reached out to both Kanye West and Irina Shayk for comment, but they are so far staying silent on the matter. This could be interpreted as a sign that there's something there, or as a sign that there's nothing there. Whatever the case may be, the coming few months would really tell the whole story. A source told The Sun that Kim is "not upset or even bothered" by any of these rumors. In fact, the Keeping Up With The Kardashians star has also been rumored to be dating a few different guys.
