Kanye West seemed to be in good spirits on Monday when he caught up with his ex-girlfriend Irina Shayk and his friend Naomi Campbell at the afterparty to Burberry’s Spring/Summer 2022 show for London Fashion Week.
The 45-year-old rapper and fashion mogul was spotted sharing a laugh with Irina, 36, and Naomi, 52, along with Burberry CCO Riccardo Tisci inside The Twenty Two in London.
The Yeezy founder was previously seen at the Burberry show, where he looked overjoyed to be reunited with the Russian model, even as he has suggested in recent days that he is still not over his ex-wife, his ‘queen’ Kim Kardashian.

Kanye opted for his standard all-black look for the party.
He looked casual yet comfortable in a black handcuffs hoodie, which he wore with the hood pulled up over his weather gray baseball cap with red text embroidered on the bill.
The Monster rapper added some luster to his look with black vinyl pants.
He layered up with a black shirt under his hoodie, which appeared to be ripped along the hem, and he sported black flip flops with bejeweled straps and black socks.

Kanye also showed off a large black beard, which was more unkempt than usual.
Inside the party, he took some time to unwind while getting close to Naomi and Irina on a red velvet sofa at The Twenty Two in London.
Although the party had its own DJ, Kanye took a special interest in the evening’s musical entertainment.
He stood next to Jordss, who was manning the mixing board, while sipping on his drink and snapping photos from the booth.
His phone had a white cord plugged into it that ran into his hoodie pocket, possibly to a set of headphones or a mobile battery to ensure he had a charge throughout the evening.
The producer was also seen catching up with Maya Jama during the evening.

Earlier in the day, Kanye’s attention was focused on his former flame Irina at the Burberry show in Bermondsey on Monday.
As he reunited with Russian beauty Irina at the runway bash, fashion designer Ye flashed a wide smile while greeting her with a warm embrace.
The rapper — who was linked to Irina when they enjoyed a holiday in France together last June — strolled along in a pair of leather trousers and matching jacket boasting faux folded sleeves across the front.

Kanye made a style statement with his unusual choice of footwear, not only with his sandals adorned with eye-catching diamantes but because he also opted to wear black socks.
It comes after Kanye indicated he’s still not over his ex Kim Kardashian with a bizarre text image shared to his Instagram Stories on Sunday.
The hitmaker shared his condolences with the UK in the wake of the death of Queen Elizabeth II while referring to Kim as his own ‘Queen.’

His post referencing his ex-wife comes after Kim visited Milan Fashion Week for her collaborative show with Dolce & Gabbana.
Although Kanye’s Instagram page is currently blank, he has lately been filling up his Instagram Stories with a storm of posts.
On Sunday, he capped off the barrage with one that seemed to be inspired by the mourning for the Queen.
‘London I know how you feel,’ Kanye wrote in all capital letters against a black background. ‘I lost my Queen too.’
He was presumably referring to his ex-wife Kim, who has been a target of his obsessive posts in recent months amid their ongoing divorce proceedings, though both have been declared legally single.

Kim was clearly on the rapper’s mind earlier this week when he posted a photo of her with her dyed-blond locks while wearing a shining silver bustier-style top and similarly shimmering floral-print pants.
Earlier on Sunday, he posted several other seemingly unconnected photos of clothing items, along with pictures of Travis Scott and his daughter North West, nine, though there wasn’t any rhyme or reason to the Stories posts.
Kanye and Irina’s reunion comes on the heels of claims Irina and Bradley Cooper, 47 – who share a five-year-old daughter – are mulling the prospect of having more children.

Although they split in 2019, they have remained famously amicable co-parents since then and reportedly recently took their little girl Lea De Seine on a holiday together.
Now, a Page Six insider has alleged: ‘It was a real family getaway and they are considering getting back together,’ asserting that Irina ‘would like her daughter to have a sibling,’
The publication reports Bradley is amenable to the idea.
Although Bradley was rumoured to be dating Hillary Clinton’s close confidante Huma Abedin, the outlet reports they were only ever casually involved.
Can’t move on: Kanye has continued to obsess over Kim, 41, in a number of posts on his Instagram Stories in recent months (seen together in February 2020)
Meanwhile Irina’s dating history includes Cristiano Ronaldo and last year she was briefly linked to Kanye in the wake of his split from Kim Kardashian.
She and Bradley were first linked in 2015 before going public as a couple in 2016, welcoming their little girl in 2017 and then going their separate ways in 2019.
Shortly after their breakup TMZ reported they had decided to split custody and to both remain based in New York in order to make joint parenting easier.
In fact she and Bradley are such close co-parents that they have made sure to live just blocks apart in Greenwich Village in order to raise their daughter.
‘He’s a full-on, hands-on dad – no nanny,’ Irina told Highsnobiety last year. ‘Lea went on holiday with him for almost two weeks – I didn’t call them once.’
Since his brief dalliance with Irina, Kanye has enjoyed a romance with First State Behavioural Health COOO Chaney Jones, 24, and has been linked to supermodel Candice Swanepoel, 33.
