Keeping it casual. Kanye West has been seen with Chani Jones several times since splitting from Julia Fox, but they are not getting serious just yet.
"They're not exclusive," one insider exclusively tells us of the rapper, 44, and the model, 24. "He is her muse and goes around with her poses."
The Grammy winner first sparked dating speculation last month when he invited her to a Donda 2 listening party in Los Angeles. At the time, the "famous" artist was still dating 32-year-old Fox, whom she met on New Year's Eve 2021.
West confirmed her romance with Jones on Tuesday, March 1, when she shared a screenshot of an article about her and the University of Delaware graduate. The Instagram post included a photo from The Shade Room that featured the two together with the caption, "Looks like #Ye and her new boo #ChaneyJones are going strong."
Fans have noticed that the social media star is very similar to the Yeezy designer's ex-wife, Kim Kardashian. According to Insider First, their similarities are one reason for West's interest in Jones.
"She's a beautiful model and looks like Kim," the source explains. "So, obviously, he's attracted to her."
The 41-year-old Skims founder filed for divorce from the producer in February 2021 after nearly seven years of marriage. The former couple share children North, 8, St, 6, Chicago, 4, and Psalm, 2.
Us confirmed that a judge declared the reality star legally single and reinstated her maiden name during a court hearing on Wednesday, March 2. The Keeping Up With The Kardashians alum has been dating Pete Davidson since October 2021.
West, for his part, is "enjoying the single dating life," but he isn't interested in settling down at the moment.
The insider tells us, "He'll take Kim over someone, but since they're not dating anymore, he's doing the next best thing — creating another Kim Kardashian." "Chani is going with it and loving her fashion suggestions. They are enjoying spending time together."
The Chicago native also made Fox her muse during their relationship, grooming her to resemble the Kardashians. The Uncut James star and "Heartless" singer called it quits in February, but Fox claimed she doesn't have any hard feelings about the breakup.
"It brought back a spark in my life that I had forgotten about," she told Entertainment Tonight on Tuesday, adding that the short-lived romance was like "hitting a reset button."
