“They are not officially dating, but there is an interest from both sides,” said a source.
Before heading to France the Pair is said to have spent some time together in New York City. The source added, “They have known each other professionally for years. He started pursuing her a few weeks ago. Kanye is a persuasive guy.
“He hung out with her in NYC before they celebrated his birthday in France.”
Earlier this week it was reported that Kanye’s estranged wife, Kim had also completely moved on but still ‘has love’ for the rapper.
“Kim has completely moved on from the marriage, [but she] still has love for Kanye,” and Insider revealed.
