Kanye West and fiance Alexis Phifer split
After the couple's year and a half long engagement, Kanye West and Alexis Phifer have decided to call it quits. Although their relationship is over, Phifer claims that the two are still good friends.
“It’s always sad when things like this end, and we remain friends,” Phifer tells People. “I wish him the best in his future and all of his endeavors. He’s one of the most talented people I’ve ever met.” Although Phifer is making light of their breakup, a friend claims that the two were having major problems in their realtionship that couldn't be worked out.
“They’d been having problems,” a pal of West’s says. “Kanye is really focused on his show; he’s putting everything into the show right now. Alexis is a nice girl, but Kanye has been going through a rough time. They hit a rough patch and for now they’ve split.”
According to the friend, Phifer and West, both 30, had been spending less time together in the last few weeks as the Grammy-winning star prepared for his nationwide “Glow in the Dark” tour. “I haven’t seen [Alexis] around at all the last few times I’ve seen him recently,” the friend added.
Poor girl. I bet Kanye is a pain in the butt to deal with. She definitely needs a break.
