Kanye West splits from Chaney Jones as Kim Kardashian and Pete Davidson get serious

Kanye West is a single man once again, following the award-winning rapper and girlfriend Chaney Jones calling time on their romance.

Chaney - who bears an uncanny resemblance to Kanye's estranged wife Kim Kardashian - has removed all traces of the Jesus Walks singer from her Instagram grid, amid rumours the dad-of-four has already moved on with model Monica Corgan.

The artist legally known as Ye, 44, and model Chaney, 24, began dating in February this year, following the rapper's split from Uncut Gems actress Julia Fox.

At the time, it was reported that Kanye was "undeniably drawn to" Chaney due to the physical similarities she shares with the mother of his four children.

According to TMZ, the former couple went their separate ways shortly after a recent trip to Japan, with no word yet on who was the one to end things.

The break up comes just weeks after Chaney was spotted with what appears to be a 'Ye' tattoo on her wrist - Kanye's legal name after he changed his moniker officially last year.

Kanye's latest split comes as his ex Kim's relationship with Saturday Night Live beau Pete Davidson, 28, appears to get more serious - with the SKIMS founder even discussing how her kids could react to a step-father figure in their lives.

On a recently aired episode of The Kardashians, the reality TV legend told how nephew Mason Disick - son of sister Kourtney Kardashian and her ex Scott Disick - gave her eldest child North West, eight, his opinion on having a step-parent.

In addition to North, the aspiring lawyer and Kanye share sons Saint, six, and Psalm, two, and daughter Chicago, four, together.

Kim filed for divorce from the rapper in early 2021, after nearly seven years of marriage and has been dating funnyman Pete since her Saturday Night Live hosting stint in October 2021.

During the latest episode of the Hulu reality series, Kim can be heard recalling young Mason telling his cousin: "You know, getting a stepdad isn't so bad."

Over the weekend, Pete was pictured in full step-dad mode, as he and Saint enjoyed a shopping trip together in L.A - with Kim seemingly not around.

The King of Staten Island star was spotted with the six-year-old on Saturday in Los Angeles, where TMZ obtained footage of the comic and the celebrity offspring visiting a kiosk before heading to The Cheesecake Factory.

Onlookers claimed that Pete and Saint were not accompanied by SKIMS founder KIM, 41, on their little outing, indicating the mum-of-four places a lot of trust in her comedian beau.

Eyewitnesses added that none of Saint's siblings appeared to be present for the weekend excursion.

Pete and Saint's outing comes after Kanye made it clear earlier this year he does not like the idea of the comic meeting his children, despite his estranged wife Kim seeming to be serious about her relationship with him.

In February, the Donda rapper took to Instagram to share a text allegedly from Pete, where the Ariana Grande's ex-fiance could be seen seemingly extending an olive branch, writing that he would "never get" between him in the "way of your children" and the "hope" some day he "can meet [his kids]."

Kanye didn't take the idea of Pete hanging out his offspring too well, captioning the screenshot: "NO YOU WILL NEVER MEET MY CHILDREN."

After a stream of concerning posts on social media, Kanye has been quiet on Instagram over recent weeks - with a promotional post for McDonalds being the only current post visible on the dad-of-four's page.

Kim and Kanye are still in the process of finalising their divorce, but the mum-of-four was declared legally single earlier this year.
