Irina Shayk wants to take it “yeezy” with Kanye West.
Page Six reports that the rapper asked the Russian supermodel to accompany him to a fashion show in Paris, but the 35-year-old beauty turned him down to avoid drama.
A source revealed: “She likes him as a friend, but doesn’t want a relationship with him.
“She doesn’t want the association that they are dating, which is what would have run in the press if she showed up [in Paris with him].
“It would have been another month of news saying that they are dating.”
That’s exactly what happened when the pair were spotted together in Provence, France, last month to celebrate his 44th birthday.
Kanye has been in the news a lot lately, especially during his high-profile separation from wife and mom of their four children, Kim Kardashian.
Kim, 40, filed for divorce in February this year.
Irina and her ex-boyfriend Bradley Cooper had their fair share of headlines before she split from the actor in June 2019.
The insider adds that Irina – who has a four-year-old daughter with Bradley – prefers being alone at the moment.
“She doesn’t want to be linked with anyone right now,” says the source. “She is happy being single.”
Irina and Kanye have been friends for years.
The catwalk star previously modelled for his brand, Yeezy, and appeared in his 2010 music video for his track Power.
She is also name-dropped in his song Christian Dior Flow – with the lyric, “I wanna see Irina Shayk next to [Dutch model] Doutzen [Kroes].”
