Kanye West bags courtside basketball tickets with girlfriend after Kim and Pete go public

Kanye West, 44, flashed a big smile for the cameras on Saturday - just hours after soon-to-be ex-wife Kim Kardashian went Instagram official with new boyfriend Pete Davidson.

The rapper legally known as Ye looked in good spirits as he sat court-side alongside Kim lookalike Chaney Jones, 24, at an LA Lakers game.

Kanye laughed and cracked a smile as he watched the basketball game in Los Angeles with his latest girlfriend.

The dad-of-four's public outing comes in the wake of ex Kim, 41, confirming her romance with Saturday Night Live comic Pete, 28, via a cute Instagram post.

The rapper and the model, 24, cut similar figures court-side, both dressed in all-black ensembles for the sporting event.

Chaney - who many have dubbed a Kim doppelganger - donned a plunging sports jacket, dark jeans and huge black glasses for the outing.

The Donda singer also cut a dark and casual figure, wearing black jeans, gloves and a zip-up black hoody as he watched the LA Lakers take on the Washington Wizards.

After splitting from actress Julia Fox, 32, last month, Kanye's new lover has attracted a lot of attention due to the fact she shares a remarkable resemblance to his soon-to-be ex-wife.

According to TMZ, Kanye was "undeniably drawn to" Chaney due to the physical similarities she shares with his the SKIMS founder.

Kim, who shares children North, 8, Saint, 6, Chicago, 4, and Psalm, 2, with Kanye, filed for divorce from the Donda singer in February 2021, after nearly seven years of marriage.

The Keeping Up with the Kardashians star - who was declared 'legally single' last week - has been dating comedian Pete since her appearance on Saturday Night Live in October 2021.

Despite being pictured together multiple times - even holding hands in some shots - the mum-of-four has only just confirmed her relationship with the King of Staten Island star.

Taking to Instagram on Friday, the trainee lawyer shared a series of snaps believed to have been taken after a date last month.

In one image, the reality TV star can be seen wearing thigh-high silver boots and an oversized feather coat as she leans in for a kiss with her funnyman boyfriend.

Another picture shows the happy couple posing close to the camera for a joint selfie - with Kim pouting in the background as Ariana Grande's former fiancé beams.

"Whose car are we gonna take?" Kim captioned the collection of snaps to her 291million followers, who went wild for the confirmation she is loved-up with Pete.

"This is the post I’ve been waiting for," one fan gushed, as another added: "Pete making his debut!!"
