Kanye West is seemingly getting onboard with the idea that he and his new muse Chaney Jones can walk in the footsteps of the legendary #KimYe. As you might know, the rapper's love life has been a messy rollercoaster in the past year.

Amid his rocky divorce from estranged wife Kim Kardashian, the Ye found himself a Kim knock-off in the model who bizarrely looks like the mother of his kids in almost every way.

Kanye West And Chaney Jones Officially Have A Couple Name

The Yeezy founder and the model first became an item in early February when Ye showed up at his “Donda 2” party with Jones by his side.

At the time, Ye was supposedly in a relationship with “Uncut Gems” star Julia Fox, whom he began dating in January.

As The Blast reported, the “Praise God” rapper flaunted Jones as his candy arm, confusing fans that Kim was in attendance.

However, upon further investigation, it was revealed that the SKIMS founder didn’t leave aside their squabbles to attend the star-studded listening party at Nobu.

Apart from the confusion about Kim attending the party, fans were shocked that Kanye’s then-girlfriend Fox wasn’t present.

Rumors began circulating that the pair had broken up, but Fox strongly denied the claims at least until February 14, when she let the cat out of the bag.

The model confirmed that she and Ye were no longer together, describing herself as a #1 hustler who seemingly enjoyed the most advantage in the short-lived relationship.

Kanye, on the other hand, was seemingly unbothered by the split as he proudly ushered in a new era of him and Jones without hesitation.

The new lovebirds have since made several public appearances, taking social media by storm.

Chaney Made The First Move To Date Kanye

In a new update from the couple, The Shade Room reported that on March 1, the pair spent time doing some shopping in Miami.

Jones looked relaxed in casual biker shorts and a bra top ensemble as she walked hand-in-hand with Kanye. However, what took fans by surprise was Ye’s reaction to the post.

The 44-year-old shared a screenshot of The Shade Room’s report on his page alongside a black heart emoji. In the comments section, proud girlfriend Jones showed her man affection, writing “My love ?.”

Ye’s good friend and fellow rapper The Game also showed solidarity with the couple and revealed their couples name as #YeNey, declaring them as official.

Per reports, Jones was responsible for making the first move when she slid into the rapper’s DM. Ye was reportedly drawn to her because of her striking resemblance to his soon-to-be ex-wife.

While sources close to the couple maintain that Ye and Jones are just having fun and nothing serious, Ye’s recent endorsement of the couple says otherwise.

But as is Kanye’s pattern, an Instagram post never truly cements anything.

A New Update In The KimYe Divorce Battle

While Ye and Jones continue to flaunt their new love, the rapper remains deeply embroiled in a messy divorce battle with his former spouse.

In the latest update, Kanye has shown that he is willing to give it his all when it comes to the custody of his four children. Per an exclusive from The Blast, the lyrical genius has hired a top gun lawyer to help fight his case.

The “All Falls Down” rapper brought in legal mastermind Samantha Spector, firing his third lawyer Chris Melcher who complained of having “little communication” with the rapper.

Spector is quite the powerhouse in the celebrity divorce industry and has handled numerous high-profile divorce cases, including Dr. Dre vs. Nicole Young and Amber Heard against Johnny Depp.

She is known to be adept at navigating messy abuse allegations and complex financial issues, making Kim and Kanye’s divorce her kind of case.

Kanye’s new attorney hire comes on the heels of Kim pushing for the court to return her to single status regardless of whether their custody and property issues are settled.

The “KUWTK” star cited “emotional distress” from Kanye’s barrage of social media posts in the new filing as her reason to be declared legally single.

However, Kanye objected to her allegation labeling it “double hearsay," saying Kim couldn't prove the posts were written by him.
