  • Kanye West is a Grammy-winning rapper who first came to fame with his debut album ‘The College Dropout’ in 2004
  • A fashion designer as well, Kanye was dropped by Balenciaga, Gap and Adidas after making antisemitic remarks in 2022
  • He has had a long list of lovers, including Amber Rose and Kim Kardashian

Kanye West‘s love life made headlines again when it was reported in January 2022 that the rapper had secretly married! After being spotted wearing a wedding band while out to lunch with Bianca Censori, the “Gold Digger” hitmaker held a private ceremony for the pair to exchange vows, according to TMZ. The alleged union comes after he and his ex-wife Kim Kardashian finalized their divorce on Nov. 29, 2022.

Ever since Ye broke out on his scene, his romances have been in the public eye – mainly because he’s used them as inspiration for some of his biggest songs. From rapping about his high school sweetheart on his landmark debut to having Amber Rose star in an unreleased music video to riding a motorcycle with Kim in “Bound 2,” Ye’s artistic vision has been motivated by his heart. So, who has this rapper called girlfriend?

How different the world would be had Kanye actually married Sumeke Rainey. When Ye was first starting out, he was still dating his high school girlfriend. Ye’s debut album, 2004’s The College Dropout, sampled Marvin GayeCurtis MayfieldAretha Franklin, all records Sumeke’s father gave Ye.

“Kanye wasn’t a big old record collector like that,” Roc-A-Fella A&R Kyambo “Hip Hop” Joshua told Complex in 2014. “He didn’t have lots of old records. His girl’s father gave him a crate of records that a lot of [samples on the album] came from.” Sumeke’s voice is actually on the song “Get Em High,” and he makes reference to her on “Never Let Me Down” (“Nothing sad as that day my girl’s father passed away/So I promised to Mr. Rainey I’m gonna marry your daughter.”) It’s unclear when the relationship ended, but Late Registration’s “Touch The Sky” hints that it fell apart due to infidelity.

Meanwhile, Sumeke continues to be a very private person, as little is known publicly about her life post Kanye. Even her Instagram is marked private.

Alexis Phifer

In the early 2000s, Ye was involved with fashion designer Alexis Phifer, who enjoys showing off her latest projects on her Instagram. The couple dated, on-and-off, from 2002 to 2008. Ye and Alexis even got engaged over a lobster and pasta dinner during an August 2006 vacation on Capri. However, after nearly two years together, the couple called off the engagement and went their separate ways. “It’s always sad when things like this end, and we remain friends,” Alexis told PEOPLE in April 2008. “I wish him the best in his future and all of his endeavors. He’s one of the most talented people I’ve ever met.” The breakup is said to be the primary inspiration for his November 2008 album, 808s & Heartbreak.

Kanye and Alexis briefly broke up in 2004, and during that period apart, he struck up a romance with actress Brooke Crittendon. It was a brief love affair, and they split while he was working on Late Registration. Brooke – who has starred in BET’s Harlem Heights – discussed the effect of the relationship with Essence in 2020. “I was with a celebrity and had to live under his shadow, and the attention was on him. As a result, people put labels on me,” she said. “[I] had to live in the shadow of that’s ‘Kanye’s ex-girl. I’m so much bigger than that, and when I did try to use a platform, it was a total disaster.”

That “disaster” may have been when she slammed haters of her and Ye’s relationship on MySpace in 2006 (per Oh No They Didn’t!). “I admit that I was young, hotheaded, and it might not have been the smartest thing to do at that time, but I’ve grown,” she told Essence. “I know now to never discuss who I’m seeing with the public.” Now Brooke mostly keeps to her Instagram posts.

Amber Rose

For the longest time, Amber Rose was Kanye’s highest-profile ex-girlfriend. The two only dated for two years, from 2008 to 2010. Supposedly, Kanye saw Amber in Ludacris’ “What Them Girls Like” music video and reached out to her. “I was home in The Bronx, and he called me on my cellphone,” she told the New York Post in 2012. “I’d never met him before. He was like, ‘Hey, it’s Kanye.’” Amber thought it was a joke, but Ye convinced her he was legit and talked her into flying out to Los Angeles to star in his “Robocop” music video. The video was never released, but two struck up a friendship, and he invited her to the Grammys.

“We weren’t dating yet,” Amber told The Post. “We were still just friends, and we had never kissed or anything. I was in the back with his family. I didn’t sit in the audience. We didn’t do the red carpet or anything like that. I’d never had anyone go out and buy me a really expensive outfit. When I told him I was an [exotic] dancer, he was like, ‘I don’t care if you’re a crackhead. I don’t care if you’re a prostitute. I just want to be with you.’ That’s what made me love him.”

Amber blamed the breakup on Kanye being a “typical rapper in the industry” and not being “faithful.” The split was far from amicable, with Kanye delivering his now-infamous line in a 2015 interview with The Breakfast Club. “If Kim had dated me when I first wanted to be with her, there wouldn’t be an Amber Rose,” he said, per Complex. “It’s very hard for a woman to wanna be with someone that’s with Amber Rose. I had to take 30 showers before I got with Kim.”

The couple clashed afterward, including a high-profile 2016 Twitter feud that involved Wiz Khalifa. In 2020, Amber spoke out against Ye’s comments on the No Jumper podcast. “I don’t want my life to be like that. I’m not that type of person. And I don’t know if he says things to make his wife [Kim Kardashian] more comfortable,” she said, per Cosmopolitan, “but to slut-shame me and say you needed 30 showers, like, bro, you took me around the world. Since when do you need 30 showers?… He has picked on me for ten years. He has bullied me for ten years.”

Amber has since gone on to welcome a son with Def Jam record label executive A.E. Edwards, who has been linked with Cher more recently. Amber obviously loves her child, as she constantly gushes over him on her Instagram.

Kim Kardashian

As of November 2022, Kim and Kanye are officially done. Kim and Ye went public with their romance in 2012, welcomed North West in 2013, and got married in 2014. The couple weathered numerous storms throughout their time together, including Ye’s failed presidential run, his multiple tweetstorms, and “bi-polar” episodes. His last, where he appeared to burn all the bridges with his antisemitic rants, may have been the last straw for Kim. As seen on her Instagram, she is living her best life, and even started dating again. So, as it turns out, had Kanye.

Irina Shayk

Ye was the first to start dating after Kim pulled the trigger on the divorce papers. He and Irina Shayk began a short romance in June 2021 at Kanye’s 44th birthday party in Paris. However, it was a literal summer fling, with the two of them splitting in August 2021.

The two had known each other for a decade before. She appeared in his “Power” video in 2010, and modeled in his  2012 Yeezy Paris Fashion Week show.

Julia Fox

2022 started off with a bang for Ye. He and actress Julia Fox met at a New Year’s Eve party in Miami and struck up a brief romance after that. It was a whirlwind romance that lasted just six weeks, full of high-profile appearances as Paris Fashion Week, the christening of the “Juliye” couple’s name, and an Interview magazine piece where Julia said she was “really surrendering” to Ye. “For someone like me who’s such a control freak and always so used to taking care of myself, to just let go and be taken care of is foreign at this point in life.”

Spoiler alert: it didn’t last. Around the time that Ye started attacking Kim’s new boyfriend, Pete Davidson, on social media (while turning his back on his longtime collaborator, Kid Cudi), Julia decided to take back control. A rep for Julia told HollywoodLife on Feb. 14, 2022, that the two have ended things. “Julia and Kanye remain good friends and collaborators,” Julia’s rep said in a statement.

Chaney Jones

Just off the heels of his split with Julia, Ye sent rumors into overdrive when he started dating Kim lookalike, model Chaney Jones. The stunning resemblance to the rapper’s ex-wife definitely made their four-month romance a striking, if familiar, experience for fans. The two began stepping out after Ye’s February breakup from Julia. And although they packed a lot into a few months, including a trip to Japan, a rare metallic Burkin bag worth $275k, and perhaps most notably, an understated “Ye” tattoo for Chaney in May 2022.

But like Julia, the Chaney fling was destined to only last a short while, and the couple was reportedly already on the outs by June 7.

Bianca Censori

Bianca is reportedly the “Famous” singer’s new lady in his life. She has worked at his company Yeezy as an architectural designer for several years. As mentioned, the pair were said to exchange vows in a secret wedding ceremony in January 2023. Bianca has reportedly taken down her Instagram following the news of her marriage to Ye.
