There were rumors on Deuxmoi throughout the spring about Kanye West and Irina Shayk. Weirdly, it wasn’t like there were sightings of them out in New York, it was just stuff along the lines of “someone heard that Irina and Kanye were hanging out, maybe.” Then in June, they were together for his birthday celebration in France. They spent a few days together and we heard a lot of stories about they’re dating and “into each other” and all of that. And then it seemed to be over as soon as it began – a month later, we heard they were “cooling off” and then Irina basically got mad because people were talking about how she’s NOT dating Yeezy. It was stupidly complicated, especially since I’m kind of sure that Kanye and Irina haven’t been in the same place at the same time since early June. And now they’re totally done?
Kanye West and Irina Shayk have called it quits.
Sources tell PEOPLE that the 44-year-old rapper’s brief relationship with the model, 35, has ended. “It was never a serious thing that took off,” one source says.
“Kanye has been busy working and spending time with his kids. This is his focus. He doesn’t have time to date right now. He finds Irina amazing though,” adds a second source. “They remain friendly.”
Reps for West and Shayk did not immediately respond to PEOPLE’s request for comment. News of their split comes a little over a month after a source told PEOPLE that Shayk was unhappy about the breakup rumors surrounding the couple.
“Irina is so upset at the lies about her and Kanye,” the source said at the time. “They are very much still dating.”
The two stars were first spotted together in early June celebrating the rapper’s 44th birthday at Villa La Coste in France. A source previously told PEOPLE that West began pursuing Shayk, 35, a few weeks earlier and they had hung out in New York City — where she lives — before then.
Yeah, in the past month, Kanye has been living in Atlanta, at the Mercedes Benz Stadium, where he’s been working on his new album, Donda. Kanye was supposed to release Donda weeks ago, but like all of Kanye’s albums these days, he’s delayed the release so he can continue to tinker with it. That’s his focus these days, not romance or showmance or whatever this thing with Irina was. This has been one of the most random gossip stories this year and I can’t believe there was so much coverage of it! People really wanted to believe that IrinYe were a thing. Oh, and Drake and Kanye’s beef has been reignited? So that’s where Kanye’s focus is at the moment.

Is he still living in that weird cement room in the sports arena? Creepy
Kanye is the only man that left a Kardashian and was not torn apart by the family, they knew he would rip them apart.
He knows too much and has a big mouth. They have to walk on eggshells around him. Kim won’t say a bad word about him just like she won’t say a bad word about Paris Hilton (who had said bad things about Kim publicly in the past). Paris knows some sh*t about the early days. This family will literally go after ANYONE else, but not Paris and not Kanye. It has to be something.
I comment not as a mental health professional, which I am not, but as a casual observer, I do believe that dumping that whole family was the sanest, most mentally healthy thing he has recently done.
He’s a trump supporter, anti abortion , a slavery denier and a misogynist.As much as i dislike that family, that’s all on him. Let’s not make excuses for him just because we dislike them. They are all problematic.
Lol he is NOT focused on his kids, nor has he ever been
The only reason Yeyk rated for me was for their stellar couple name.
Good for Irina. Hope he stays single for a looooong time. I would not wish his misogyny on her or any other woman.
lol sure Kanye.
US Weekly:
“Kanye and Irina are over, but they never really started, there’s nothing going on there,” a source exclusively tells Us Weekly about the pair. The insider notes that Shayk, 35, realized that “they aren’t great romantic partners” and have since called it quits.
Circulating rumour for marketing reasons, I doubt they even saw each other after that France trip where they couldnt look more apart.
this ^^
Translation: he wasn’t offering her much of a deal.
Bingo.
