The actress also claimed that the sex was “more sophisticated.”
Sessilee Lopez
After Kanye’s romance with Alexis, the rapper also began dating model, Sessilee Lopez.
The pair worked together on his Flashing Lights music video and were rumored to be dating for a brief period of time.
It is unclear when they called their relationship off.
Amber Rose
Former exotic dancer, Amber Rose, and the Flashing Lights star dated from 2008 to 2010.
Amber claimed that Kanye bullied her “for years,” after their split.
During an interview on the No Jumper podcast, she defended herself against the hurtful comments Kanye had made about needing “30 showers” after they were intimate together.
“I don’t know if he says things to make his wife more comfortable, 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?” she said.
Chanel Iman
Kanye was linked to former Victoria’s Secret model Chanel Iman in 2010, but the pair never confirmed their relationship.
“Rumors are rumors. Kanye’s a great artist. He’s very talented,” she told Us Magazine. “I’ve always loved his music. He’s an incredible performer.”
Selita Ebanks
Kanye was linked to runway model Selita Ebanks back in 2010.
She starred in his short film, Runaway but denied the two ever being an item.
It is unclear when they ended their fling.
Irina Shayk
In March of 2021, rumors began to circulate that Ye and Russian model Irina Shayk were dating.
A source revealed in May that the two “met up one night and had chemistry and hit it off.”
The source continued: “It’s very casual and they have only been in touch for about a month. Kanye has expressed he doesn’t want anything serious but likes Irina’s vibe.”
Another source added at the time “Kanye has been flying in and out of New York to be with [Irina].”
In June, the two were spotted together in France, appearing to be “an item”.
By August, however, the pair had reportedly called it quits.
“Kanye has been busy working and spending time with his kids,” said a source at the time.
“This is his focus. He doesn’t have time to date right now. He finds Irina amazing though. They remain friendly.”
Vinetria
Signed model and Instagram influencer, Vinetria, was allegedly dating Kanye.
Sources close to the pair reveal they have been “hooking up” for “awhile now,” according to Page Six.
The 22-year-old model is signed to Public Image Management and is five feet nine inches tall.
Vinetria was reportedly in Miami with Ye as he recorded his Drink Champs interview, and recently attended his Sunday Service in Los Angeles.
The two were spotted together in public for the first time at Donda Academy’s debut basketball game in Minneapolis.
The pair split in December 2021.
Julia Fox
Just days after Julia Fox, 32, accused her husband Peter Artemiev of being a “deadbeat dad,” she was spotted on a date with Kanye in January 2022.
At the time, Julia confirmed in an op-ed article that the two were dating, and told PageSix she is excited about her future with him.
“I don’t know where things are headed,” she told the media outlet at the time. “But if this is any indication of the future I’m loving the ride.”
The two previously met in Miami while celebrating New Year’s Eve, and later went on a second date where he surprised her with a photoshoot.
In February, the pair split with a rep for Julia telling PEOPLE they, “remain good friends and collaborators but they are no longer together.”

Chaney Jones made headlines after being seen in public with Kanye in February 2022, when he was supposedly in a relationship with Julia Fox.
Kanye previously posted a screenshot from The Shade Room to his Instagram that says: “It appears #Ye and his new boo #ChaneyJones are going strong.”
He captioned the post with a black heart and Jones responded with the comment, “My love” with the black heart and fingers crossed emojis.
However, in June 2022, Kanye and his Kim-look-alike reportedly split over ‘erratic behavior.’
“Kanye is currently single,” a source close to the rapper told E! News about their relationship.
