Kanye West seems to be moving on, once again, following the collapse of his marriage to Kim Kardashian and is now dating one of the models of her underwear brand.
Candice Swanepoel was posing in designs from 41-year-old Kim’s Skims underwear brand just five months ago - and it seems she caught the eye of 45-year-old Kanye.
Now the 33-year-old model is said to be dating the rap sensation and the pair have been enjoying low-key dates on both sides of the Atlantic.
The move may surprise some fans of Kanye, and leave other totally unsurprised, as Candice has a working relationship with Kim – whose divorce from Kanye was finalised earlier this year while he has continued to declare his love for her and expressed a desire to win her back.
Of Kanye’s new romance with Candice, a source told The Sun: “Kanye and Candice have been seeing a lot of each other and he’s been introducing her as his girlfriend.
“So far things have been kept quite casual with Candice because they are both really busy and they don’t want to rush into anything.
“But things are a lot more promising than they were with Irina [Shayk] or Julia [Fox].”
The report also suggests that Kanye is finally moving on from Kim - with whom he shares four children.
And the new relationship has begun seven months after he split from Julia following a whirlwind two-month romance.
Speaking to ES Magazine this week, Julia claims Kanye - who was very publicly pining for his ex-wife Kim throughout their romance - approached her after he got her number from a mutual friend.
Their relationship - which burned bright and fast for the first two months of the year - seemed to start out as ‘fun’ before ‘real life’ derailed the romance.
While the actress and model also explained why she decided to 'tap out' of the romance after just a few weeks.
Julia explained: “I was just going day by day and seeing where it went. It was just like, he still wants to hang out with me today, let’s do it.
“And then real life set in and the lifestyle wasn’t sustainable. I couldn’t fly away once a week.
"And I tapped out at the first sign of a red flag.”
Asked what the ‘red flags’ around Kanye were, she tactfully responded: “The unresolved issues that he was dealing with.
“It just seems like he had a lot to work on, and I just don’t have time for it, or energy. I don’t have the bandwidth or emotional capacity for it. I’m proud of myself for that. Pre-Valentino Julia would have definitely stuck it out and been there for longer.”
Meanwhile, Kim is believed to be single currently following the collapse of her nine month relationship with comedian Pete Davidson, 28.
