West’s fling with Shayk is his first since his ex Kim Kardashian filed for divorce from him in February. The news of West and Shayk’s split comes after Kardashian and West were seen having lunch together in Malibu on Friday.
A source explained to Us Weekly that Shayk and West’s relationship was never anything too deep. “Kanye and Irina are over, but they never really started, there’s nothing going on there,” the source said. That source added that Shayk realized “they aren’t great romantic partners” and ultimately called it.
Prior to the breakup, Entertainment Tonight was told by its own source that Shayk and West were super casual. “The two of them have always just been having fun together,” that source said. “They’re both doing their own thing and down to have a good time without any strings attached.”
Multiple sources confirmed the split to People. One source reiterated with Us Weekly‘s and Entertainment Tonight‘s said: This was not any longterm romance in the making. “It was never a serious thing that took off,” People‘s source said.
A second source added that “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. They remain friendly.”
