The model fascination continues for rapper Kanye West, who has dated the controversial Amber Rose and allegedly swooned over Selita Ebanks. He has now been spotted holding hands with runway beauty and Sports Illustrated model Kate Upton.

West raised eyebrows when he bypassed the flashing lights at the front entrance of a recent Victoria's Secret VIP Swim event in Los Angeles and secretly slipped in through the side door. Inside, the pair reportedly smiled and talked for the entire duration of the event. “The two were seen flirting and left hand-in-hand through the back door to avoid paparazzi around 12:30 a.m.,” reports New York Post. Upton was named “Rookie of the Year” by her SI bosses and she’s also modeled for Victoria’s Secret and Beach Bunny swimwear.
