Kanye West unfollows Kim Kardashian and her sisters on Twitter
Kanye West is no longer keeping up with the Kardashians.
The “Heartless” rapper, 44, recently unfollowed his estranged wife, Kim Kardashian, and all of her sisters on Twitter, though it’s unclear if he made the move before or after all of their birthday tributes to him earlier this week.
West still follows only one person on Instagram, and that’s Kim, the mother of his four children — though it remains to be seen how long that will last now that he’s dating model Irina Shayk.
The relatively new couple jetted off to Provence, France, this week to celebrate the Yeezy designer’s birthday before returning to the US together on a private jet.
Although the pair’s surprising romance has been making headlines all week, Page Six exclusively revealed that Kim, 40, “is fine” with her estranged husband moving on amid their divorce.
“Kim is fine with it,” an insider said. “She just wants him to be happy and healthy.”
A separate source told us, “Kim is studying and focused on the kids,” referencing North, 7, Saint, 5, Chicago, 3, and Psalm, 2.

West and Shayk, 35, have known each other for years, as she once modeled for his fashion line and starred in his music video for “Power.” They also briefly dated before he hooked up with the “Keeping Up With the Kardashians” star.
“Kanye was with Irina briefly before Kim. He had pursued her a long time ago,” a music-world source told us.
Like many Hollywood relationships, a fashion source said the West-Shayk pairing is beneficial for both of their public profiles.

“For Kanye, it’s about keeping up his image. … He has a stream of projects coming up,” a fashion insider explained.
“Plus, this is excellent for her career. She’s a gorgeous girl, but the path to being a supermodel is sometimes dating someone very famous to put them over the top.
“Once you start being on the cover of glossy grocery-store magazines, then your name recognition goes up and your price goes up. It’s the best way to be relevant.”
Shayk dated soccer star Cristiano Ronaldo for five years before they split in 2015. She then dated Bradley Cooper, with whom she shares 4-year-old daughter Lea, but they broke up in 2019 after four years together.
