Kanye West Engaged
08/11/2006 4:47 PM, E! Online
We ain't saying she's a gold digger, but Kanye West is
far from broke.
And now, far from single.
The six-time Grammy-winning rapper-producer has popped the
question to his girlfriend, Alexis, People reported Friday on its
Website.
Details are sketchy. The "Jesus Walks" emcee
reportedly proposed during a recent two-week-long overseas vacation, but
it's not known exactly where or when the knee-bending went down, or when
the betrotheds will tie the knot..
Likewise, the
future Mrs. West is a something of a mystery. We don't know her last
name, age or occupation.
Calls to West's publicist
were not immediately returned.
But, per
People, West and his fiancee rekindled her romance with the
hip-hopster after two years apart.
The couple
previously dated for several years, with Alexis reportedly by his side
prior to the 2002 near-fatal car wreck that left the rapper with a wired
jaw. In a 2004 interview with Blender, the College Dropout
artist announced he had split from his lady love in August of that year.
"The thing is, I always had a girlfriend," he told
the magazine. "Now it's like some property opening up on the beach that
no one could get into until now."
Guess the ladies
should consider that beach re-closed.
While it's
unknown when the two reconnected, it couldn't have been too long ago.
As recently as April, West was dating 24-year-old MTV
assistant-turned-model Brooke Crittenden, whom, he told Rolling
Stone, he had been with for more than a year.
"I
don't think we've ever been apart longer than seven days," she told the
New York Daily News. "I trust him. He's got so much going on, but
he never makes me feel like number two."
Okay.
Prior to coupling with Crittenden, West was linked in the
gossip pages with the likes of American Idol winner Fantasia
Barrino and even the recently married Pamela Anderson, though neither
pairing was ever confirmed.
