Kanye West And Supermodel Irina Shayk Make Debut As Couple In France On Rapper's 44th Birthday

Kanye West was too busy celebrating his 44th birthday with Russian supermodel Irina Shayk to acknowledge his estranged wife's sentimental shoutout.
While Kim Kardashian and her sister, Khloe Kardashian, were celebrating the rapper-turned-designer on Instagram, Ye was busy making his public debut as a couple with Bradley Cooper's ex in the romantic region of Provence in southeastern France.
The two reportedly confirmed their rumored fling on Tuesday when they were spotted smiling and walking around a luxury boutique hotel, apparently looking very much like a couple. In addition to their alone time, the duo also reportedly hung out with a few friends.
West and Shayk, 35, are said to be together in the sense that they are hooking up, with sources saying it's unclear how serious their relationship is at this point.
As Breaking Celebrity News previously reported, the Kanye-Irina dating rumors began swirling around last month, after a tipster spilled the then-unconfirmed tea to Instagram-based celebrity gossip site DeuxMoi.
Soon after, another anonymous tipster doubled down on the first person's claims by saying that the two were "def dating."
This all comes in the midst of West's $2.1 billion divorce from Kardashian, who dropped the "L" word in her social media birthday tribute despite claims she and Ye "have not spoken in months, except through third parties over the kids."
