Since the bombshell announcement in January 2021 that billionaire rapper Kayne “Ye” West’s seven-year marriage to Kim Kardashian was effectively over, both his and her current relationship status has grabbed plenty of media attention.

Despite West’s insistence that he wanted to get his family back, including reuniting with his estranged wife (the divorce is not yet signed and sealed), West has been rumoured to be involved romantically with actress and model Julia Fox (an unlikely friend and associate of Anna Delvey!), Instagram model Yasmine Lopez, and others.

According to the latest Hollywood gossip, Ye is causing a stir again with his latest muse, Chaney Jones, who is 20 years his junior. So who is the 24-year-old that has captured Kayne’s attention?

What stunned the public the most is probably Jones’ strong resemblance to the West’s billionaire wife.

Jones’s style is also an immediate reminder of her famous lookalike, displaying a similar fashion sense, make-up style and penchant for bikini photos.

Although Jones’s earliest Instagram photos are from just 2020, she has managed to grow her audience to more than 370,000 followers in that time. She has also shared glimpses of her life on TikTok, where she attracted nearly 50,000 followers. With all the attention she has garnered from her recent link to Kayne West, her sphere of influence is primed to explode.

3. She is serious about her education
