Kanye West and Irina Shayk have fuelled speculation they are dating are they were spotted on a walk in the French region of Provence on his birthday.
The 44-year-old rapper - whose estranged wife Kim Kardashian West filed for divorce in February after almost seven years of marriage - and the 35-year-old model were spotted on a walk in the French region of Provence on his birthday on Tuesday.
According to DailyMail.com, the pair stayed at luxury boutique hotel Villa La Coste, where they are said to have arrived on Sunday (06.06.21) before departing on Wednesday.
But other sources have claimed Kanye and Irina - who has four-year-old daughter Lea with her ex Bradley Cooper - are not officially "dating", and it's unclear if they stayed at the hotel together.
