Kanye West moved on quickly from his estranged wife, Kim Kardashian, who filed for divorce earlier this year.
The rap mogul is reportedly dating 35-year-old Irina Shayk, according to gossip blogs.
Kanye and Irina — Russia’s first Sports Illustrated cover model, were spotted touring the French region of Provence on Tuesday, his 44th birthday.
According to TMZ, they were seen smiling and strolling around on the grounds of a luxury boutique hotel with some friends. They looked very much like a couple.
Kanye and Irina are good friends, having first met more than 10 years ago, on the set of the music video for his song “Power.” He asked her to walk in his ready-to-wear fashion shows over the years.
Irina shares a 4-year-old daughter, Lea De Seine Shayk Cooper, with actor Bradley Cooper (pictured below). They dated for four years but never tied the knot.
She also dated soccer superstar Cristiano Ronaldo in the past. According to blog gossip, they broke up because Irina didn’t get along with Ronaldo’s mother.
Irina served as a host on Russia’s Next Top Model and she walked in 2016 Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show.
In addition to modeling, Irina made her acting debut as Megara in the 2014 blockbuster film Hercules.
Irina is a social media influencer with over 15 million followers on Instagram alone.
Kanye and Kim Kardashian, 40, were married on May 24, 2014 after dating for 7 years. They share 4 children — daughters North, 7, and Chicago, 3, and sons Saint, 5, and 2-year-old Psalm.
Kim filed for divorce in February of 2021 — three years after Kanye emotionally checked out of their marriage and moved to a ranch in Wyoming.
She is having a hard time letting go of Kanye. She recently said she will love Kanye “for life.”
