Busted! Have Kanye West and Irina Shayk been dating longer than we think? Look away now, Kim Kardashian and Bradley Cooper …
- Despite no pictures of the pair talking, touching, or even looking in the same direction, romance rumours abound after the pair were snapped together in France
- Now netizens have noticed that Shayk was wearing a limited edition DMX top commissioned by West’s Yeezy brand back in April, further fuelling speculation
So this Kanye West-dating-Irina Shayk thing, with the birthday trip to France rolled in? Apparently it’s been going on for a while, if the Russian-born supermodel’s taste in pricey T-shirts is any indication.
Shayk was photographed in late April wearing a long-sleeve commemorative DMX shirt – with no pants, just thigh-high black boots – while she was walking in New York City with four-year-old daughter Lea, whom she shares with ex-beau Bradley Cooper. West was in town around that time for DMX’s memorial celebration.
The US$200 custom shirts were commissioned from Balenciaga by West’s fashion brand, Yeezy, TMZ reported. After going on sale online April 24, they sold out in less than 24 hours, raising big bucks for the late rapper’s family. The Shayk photo was taken April 26, suggesting her attire was a personal delivery rather than the product of speedy overnight shipping.
The dating rumours apparently started flowing soon after. Then last week, British tabloids declared West and Shayk a couple, producing photos of them taken with the longest of long lenses during what it termed a “romantic getaway” in France.
“It’s casual at the moment, but they are into each other,” an insider told Page Six. “It’s been going on for a few weeks now.”
