Are Kanye West and Candice Swanepoel dating?
“Kanye and Candice are dating and their relationship is new,” an insider revealed to Entertainment Tonight. “They like each other and are happy with how things are going so far. They’ve connected over fashion and creativity. Kanye is excited about Candice.”
It doesn’t look like Kanye or the Tropic of C founder are trying to hide their rumored relationship, as they have both been somewhat open about it on social media. On Thursday, September 15th, Kanye reposted an Instagram Story which showed him and the model together at New York Fashion Week, behind some blurred-out glᴀss.
Although it was very hard to see what was actually going on in the blurry picture, the silhouette of Candice’s outfit – which consisted of H๏τ pink pants, a black top, and a silver jacket – was easily recognizable thanks to other pictures of her wearing the same outfit that were posted in other places, including a picture with Amelia Hamlin, 21, that was posted on The Lions Talent Management managing partner, Ali Kavoussi’s Instagram account.
Despite everything that we just wrote above, many other sources have hinted that Kanye and Candice *aren’t* actually an item, with one source saying she is simply one of his “muses,” and another more harshly saying that it is nothing but a “PR stunt.”
“They are together for promotional stuff for his Yeezy line,” a source told Us Weekly. “They collaborate well together and bond over fashion. Anything beyond a working relationship is not true. They are not involved romantically. She’s another one of his muses.
Another insider reportedly told Page Six that their relationship wasn’t what it seemed, and was simply to help Kanye promote his Yeezy GAP sunglᴀsses, which Candice is the face of. Interestingly, she also modeled for Kanye’s estranged ex Kim Kardashian’s Skims line earlier this year, alongside Alessandra Ambrosio, Heidi Klum, and Tyra Banks.
