The Internet goes wild with rumours that Kanye West romancing Jeffree Star amid speculation of divorce from Kim Kardashian

After facing rumors regarding the status of their marriage for years, reports are circulating that Kim Kardashian West and Kanye West are headed for a divorce. The A-listers got married in 2014 after two years of dating, and they’ve since welcomed four children together.

While sources close to Kanye and Kim have shared that the pair simply grew more distant over time, there is some speculation that the rapper and the reality star have already moved on with other people.

Since the potential divorce news went viral on January 5, many have wondered if other elements played a part in the couple’s decision to officially call it quits. It is important to note that neither Kim nor Kanye (nor their reps) have discussed the divorce publicly.

An insider told E! News, which is affiliated with the network that carries Keeping Up With the Kardashians, that Kanye and Kim were in marriage counseling because they were “trying to work through things.”

The source also shared that the two were not set to file for divorce, though they were “living separately,” and they had been for some time.

As for the allegations that Kim and Kanye are involved with other people, the insider debunked the speculation. “There is no one else involved,” the person added.

But that hasn’t stopped people from speculating about it. Kim has been linked to lawyer and commentator Van Jones, while the talk about Kanye is unexpected, to say the least.

Though sources close to the pair have said that neither has started dating anyone else, rumors have run rampant about Kanye being romantically linked to YouTuber and beauty expert Jeffree Star. It’s unclear where exactly this rumor came from. TikToker Ava Louise posted on her page a video about Kanye cozying up to a man in the beauty community. Ava posted her now-viral video in front of a green screen, which showed the initial Page Six report for Kim and Kanye’s divorce.

“Now that Kim’s finally doing this, I feel like I can spill the tea that I’ve been holding onto for months,” Ava said in her video. “This whole divorce comes as no surprise. Kanye’s been hooking up with a very famous beauty guru. Male beauty guru. A lot of people in the scene have known for a while.”

While Ava noted that she couldn’t divulge who this person was, she did give a few clues in her caption.

“I can’t say WHO cuz he’ll sue me hint hint, but it’s part of the reason Kanye’s so religious now. It’s his self-hatred… My source is legit I promise,” Ava said.

She did not share who her source was, but viewers suspected that the guru she was talking about is Jeffree Star.

Both Kanye and Jeffree’s names were trending on Twitter afterward since the coupling was so surprising. Plus, users pointed out that Jeffree recently purchased a ranch in Wyoming, which is where Kanye has been spending most of his time. Many users also made TikTok videos about it, and Twitter was rampant with memes about the rumored pair.

Aside from Ava’s video, the Twitter speculation, and the Wyoming connection, it doesn’t appear as if there is any concrete proof to link the Conspiracy collection creator to the musician. However, last August, Kanye was slammed by rapper Azealia Banks for being a “closeted homosexual.”

Jeffree was in a relationship with Andre Marhold recently. He also split from longtime beau Nathan Schwandt in January of 2020, so he was only single for a short time. In response to the bizarre, trending rumor that he and Kanye West have a romantic entanglement, Star neither confirmed nor denied. Instead, he posted a new picture on Instagram and Twitter with the caption “I’m ready for Sunday Service,” poking fun at the rapper’s well-known Christian gathering.
