Kanye West Shock: Kim Kardashian's Ex Dating 22-Year-Old Model Vinetria 'For A While Now'

Even though Kanye West previously said that he was still not over his estranged wife, Kim Kardashian, he has now admitted to dating 22-year-old model Vinetria "for a while now." West, who now goes by the name Ye, said in a taped interview last month that he still considers Kardashian to be "his wife."

The 44-year-old "Flashing Lights" rapper did not say how long he has been "hooking up" with the young model signed with Public Image Management. Sources close to the matter said Vinetria has been accompanying West on his trips, including his visit to Miami, where he recorded the now-viral "Drink Champs" interview.

Sources close to the Kardashians said the family is worried about West's reaction to Kim's growing romance with Davidson. Kardashian is reportedly intrigued with Davidson, who sources say is very "aggressive" towards him in the way he shows his affection. Kardashian also reportedly likes how Davidson is making her laugh and smile again, and her family is supportive of her in pursuing the relationship.

Sources said everyone in the Kardashian family is worried about how West would react to the growing relationship between his ex-wife and the SNL comedian. The source added that West still wants to be with Kardashian, which means that he likely isn't taking the news of her moving on so quickly very well even though he already has Vinetria by his side.
