KEY POINTS

  • Irina Shayk said there are always rumors about her, so she will just keep things to herself
  • Shayk was asked about her relationship with the "Donda" artist after she was romantically linked to him
  • Several insiders previously claimed that Shayk and West were no longer together after dating for months

Irina Shayk has finally commented on her rumored relationship with Kanye West in a new interview.

The Russian model was asked about her romance with the "Donda" artist in an interview with Highsnobiety Thursday. She refrained from confirming their relationship, but she did acknowledge the rumors.

"Tomorrow there is going to be a rumor that I'm dating my doorman, okay? Then after tomorrow, it's going to be someone else," Shayk said. "Look, there's always something there, and I'm just keeping it to myself."

West and Shayk made the headlines in June when they were spotted in the South of France together for his 44th birthday. They stayed for three nights at Villa La Coste.

"She seems smitten. He invited her to France and she happily accepted," a source told People at the time. "They are not officially dating, but there is an interest from both sides."

The tipster continued, "They have known each other professionally for years. He started pursuing her a few weeks ago. Kanye is a persuasive guy. He hung out with her in NYC before they celebrated his birthday in France."

Meanwhile, another source confirmed to Us Weekly that they were dating and were "officially an item." They had been seeing for a couple of months already, the source claimed.

"Irina and Kanye have been spending time together and getting to know one another. He’s always thought she was beautiful and they’re both looking forward to seeing where this goes," a second anonymous source said.

A different insider told Page Six that Kim Kardashian was fine with West dating Shayk. The "Keeping Up With the Kardashians" star reportedly wanted her husband to be "happy and healthy."

Also, Kardashian and Shayk were not friends, a source told People. So, there was no "weirdness" about West going out with Shayk.

However, in August, another tipster said West and Shayk already called it quits after months of dating. They allegedly realized that they were not great romantic partners.

"It was never a serious thing that took off," an unnamed source told People. "Kanye has been busy working and spending time with his kids. This is his focus. He doesn't have time to date right now."

"Kanye and Irina are over, but they never really started, there’s nothing going on there," another insider told Us Weekly.
