Kanye West was seen warming up to ex-Irina Shayk recently. The hip-hop artist may have a personality not suited for everyone. But that never got in the way of him dating some of the most beautiful; women in the glamorous industry. The Gold Digger singer had a very public tale of love and loss with Kim Kardashian. The two were married for eight years and had three beautiful daughters before calling it quits.

Thereon the new singleton went on a dating rumor streak with several women. The first link began with edgy Italian-American fashionista Julia Fox, which did not last very long. Meanwhile, Kim started dating comedian Pete Davidson. That kept Kanye engaged in penning down a war of words against his ex-wife and new lover’s relationship. But looks like he is back to being his happy self, reconnecting with an old love.

Kanye West was seen smiling as he hugged Irina Shayk

Kanye West does not smile often, but when he does, it is beautiful. The reason for his smile recently became the Russian model Irina Shayk, his blast from the past. The two crossed paths at the Burberry Spring/ Summer 2023 show at the London Fashion Week.

On seeing Irina, Ye opened his arms for a warm hug and grinned as the paparazzi clicked some gossip-worthy photos. The scenario was an interesting one because of the history these two shared. Irina was famously in a relationship with footballer Christiano Ronaldo and later Bradley Cooper, with whom she has a kid.

Back in June, the two newly single people were spotted holidaying in France and cozying up to each other. This was amidst Ye’s rough patch with Kim in their marriage. The Flashing Lights singer and the model’s story ended abruptly. Sources close to them said that the two were not looking to become one by a serious commitment. Instead, they have mutual respect and continue staying friends.

Ye has been everywhere these days, whether for his love life or his business ventures, like the YZY sunglasses. He was also rumored to be dating South African model Candice Swanepoel, who was part of the YZY campaign. But those rumors were denied.
