Irina Shayk is "thrilled" that Kanye West asked her out and has high hopes for their romance!
New York, New York - Irina Shayk and Kanye West's romance is heating up, and the two don't seem to be slowing down any time soon!
Friends do sometimes make the best romantic partners!
This seems to be the case between the Russian supermodel and the eccentric hip-hop artist, who have collaborated on projects together as far back as 2010.
The two have been rumored to be dating for the last few months – but the gossip may now be confirmed.
On Tuesday, a source let it slip to HollywoodLife that Irina is apparently looking forward to starting a new long-term relationship with the Flashing Lights rapper.
"Irina was thrilled when Kanye reached out to her asking her to hang out," they said of the model. "She’s excited...She's ready for this."
Last week, Irina and Kanye were spotted in France at the luxury spa hotel Villa La Coste for the rapper's 44th birthday.
The two also spent some time together in New York City before they jetted off to their European getaway.
Now, even more details are emerging about the presumed couple and their plans for the future!
Kanye and Irina are taking things seriously
The informant also tattled that the model is over being known as "Bradley Cooper's ex" and is "so ready to start the next chapter in her life."
Irina shares a daughter, Lea, with Bradley. The former couple dated from 2015 to 2019.
If anyone can relate to dating a famous counterpart, it's Kanye.
A separate source told People that "Kanye is doing well. He had a great trip to France with Irina. They will date long-distance, Kanye will continue to be L.A.-based. He has no plans to move to NYC."
The Graduation rapper is in the midst of a divorce from Kim Kardashian, with whom he shares four children.
Kanye has remained silent about his split from Kim, but he did pull a fast one and unfollowed his estranged wife and her siblings on Twitter recently.
Speaking of Kim, the Keeping Up with the Kardashians star is said to be "supportive" of Kanye's new relationship with Irina.
We can't say for sure where this new love is heading, but it looks like the two are taking things seriously!
