Kanye West dating model Vinetria ‘for a while’ despite insisting Kim Kardashian is still his wife

KANYE West has been dating model Vinetria "for a while" despite claiming earlier this week that Kim Kardashian is "still his wife."

The rapper recently insisted the reality star is still his wife and wants them to be together.

Kanye, 44, has been “hooking up with” Vinetria “for a while now," has learned.

The model "was in Miami" with the hitmaker when he recorded his Drink Champs interview and "was seen at his Sunday Service last weekend," according to the outlet.

The pair "attended their first public event together" over the weekend, his Donda Academy's "debut basketball game in Minneapolis."

Kanye and his 22-year-old love interest were seen courtside as they enjoyed the game together and shared photos and videos on social media from the night.

'STILL MY WIFE'

The Yeezy founder's new relationship comes as a bit of a shock, as earlier this week he claimed he was still married to the Keeping Up With The Kardashians alum despite their February divorce.

While appearing on the  on Thursday, the entertainer repeatedly called Kim, 41, his "wife" as he reflected on their split.

After noting the public keeps saying the pair is “divorced," Kanye said: “We’re not even divorced.

"This ain’t no joke to me. My kids want their parents to stay together. I want us to be together."

He then said that the entertainment industry and media are against them as a couple, continuing: "If you look at the media, that’s not what they’re promoting.

"That’s not what they want. They want it to be a new episode, a new TV show. And then they have people all around in my wife’s ear.”

Kanye then slammed Kim’s publicist for encouraging their split, saying: “I don’t f**k with her.”

MOVING ON

Kim filed for divorce from Kanye earlier this year after seven years of marriage.

The ex-couple share four children: North, eight, Saint, five, Chicago, three, and Psalm, two.

After their split, Kanye was said to have briefly dated actress Irina Shayk, although the two denied any romantic involvement as they claimed to be friends for a "long time."

Kim has sparked relationship rumors with comedian Pete Davidson over the past couple of weeks as the two have been seen on several fun excursions together.

WAITING FOR THE BOMB TO DROP

Earlier this week, a source revealed to The Sun that the SKIMS founder is just "waiting for a full-blown meltdown" from her ex over the Pete speculation.

The insider said that the mother of four “definitely” has “alarm bells ringing” due to Kanye’s podcast interview.

The source explained: “She’s now just waiting for the full on meltdown [about Pete]. The honest truth is she doesn't want to be dealing with all this bulls**t, that’s why she’s divorcing him. 

“Kim has no space in her life for it and is furious with him for trying to create drama again. Especially the reference to their kids - she was very unhappy at that."
