Kim Kardashian coy over romance with Kanye West
K
•Kim and Kanye
IM Kardashian was quizzed over her relation ship with Kanye West on the Today show this morning. And while she didn’t openly declare her love - she didn’t deny it either. Asked by host Ann Curry if the ‘Kimye’ romance was true, the 31-year-old reality star giggled: ‘Kanye and I have been friends for years,’ before adding: ‘...so, I love the song,’ in reference to West’s new track Theraflu, in which he sings how he fell in love with Kim. In another sign she was ready
to move on following her failed marriage to Kris Humphries which lasted just 72 days, Kim said defiantly: ‘I’m really ready to close that chapter. I have closed that chapter. ‘You never know what the futures holds or where my life will take me.’ On Wednesday night, Kim and Kanye were spotted leaving the movies in New York after watching the new hit film The Hunger Games. And yesterday the E! TV personality was spotted leaving his NYC apartment - tellingly in the
same clothes she wore the night before. Kim giggled as Curry asked her today about the date, but would only say she found the film ‘interesting’. The TV star was well groomed for her appearance, slipping into a form-fitting turquoise dress and black heels. She also posed for a picture with rapper Nicki Minaj who was also appearing on the U.S. breakfast show. Minaj - who collaborated with West on the track Monster - tweeted the accompanying message: ‘SHE’S WITH ME NOW! MOVE BACK BUGS!!!! AHHAHAHHHAHAHAHHAHAHA! ‘After her TV interview, Kim made an outfit change into black trousers and white Tshift emblazoned with a leopard as she stalked through JFK Airport where she was expected to board a flight to Los Angeles. There was a media storm yesterday as Kim and Kanye stepped out for lunch and then a spot of shopping in the wake of reports their relationship was far from platonic. The singer and rapper also refers to his ex-girlfriend Amber Rose in the song, following her claims he and Kim had a fling while they were together. Kanye sings: ‘And the whole industry wants to f*** your old chick.’ ‘Only n**** I got respect for is Wiz. ‘And I admit I fell in love with Kim around the same time she fell in love with him.’ ‘Well that’s cool baby girl do your thing.’ ‘Lucky I ain’t had Jay drop him from the team.’ It seems that Kanye admits to falling for the Keeping Up With The Kardashians star when she was getting together with her now-estranged husband Kris Humphries. And it appears West is referring to Jay-Z when he mentions ‘Jay’ because the rapper is part owner in Humphries’ basketball team the New Jersey Nets. Earlier this year Amber Rose, who is now engaged to Wiz Khalifa claimed that Kim was the reason she and Kanye broke up. She said: ‘She’s a homewrecker! They were both cheating. They were both cheating on me and Reggie with each other.’ And she said that Kim instigated the affair by sending sexy pictures of herself to him as well as calling and texting him. Amber added: ‘She was sending pictures, and I was like, “Kim, just stop. Don’t be that person”.’
