Kim Kardashian not only attended the same event as Chaney Jones, Kanye West's previous partner, but they also almost wore identical outfits. Observant fans were swift to notice that both Kardashian, 42, and Jones, 25, were present at Michael Rubin's July 4th party, held on Monday, July 3. The exclusive gathering, hosted in the Hamptons, had a high-profile guest list and required everyone to dress entirely in white.
The reality star, Kardashian, showcased her ensemble consisting of a white two-piece top and a skirt with a low-rise silhouette in a TikTok video alongside Lori Harvey, Hailey Bieber, Kendall Jenner, and Justine Skye. Similarly, Jones also donned a matching top to commence the Independence Day celebrations, sharing her ethereal appearance in a one-piece iteration of the white outfit on social media.
Fans in the comments section speculated about whether West's ex-wife and former girlfriend crossed paths while wearing similar outfits. Kardashian's decision to file for divorce from West in February 2021 after almost seven years of marriage garnered significant media attention.
Following the divorce, the founder of Skims began dating Pete Davidson, but their relationship ended in August 2022. On the other hand, West had a brief romance with actress Julia Fox in early 2022 before rumors of a new relationship with Jones started to circulate. West and Kardashian share four children together: daughters North (9) and Chicago (5), and sons Saint (7) and Psalm (4).
In March 2022, fans questioned Jones' alleged resemblance to Kardashian when she was linked to West. However, the model quickly dismissed any comments about their physical similarities, stating that she did not see the resemblance. Additionally, Jones revealed that she and West did not discuss Kardashian. During the same period, an exclusive source informed We that West and Jones were not in an exclusive relationship.
"She serves as his inspiration and socializes with his close friends. Additionally, she possesses the stunning appearance of Kim Kardashian. Consequently, it is evident that he feels a strong attraction towards her," the informant disclosed. "While he would choose Kim above anyone else, considering their current non-dating status, he is attempting to recreate the essence of Kim Kardashian with someone else. Chaney is willingly embracing this role and appreciates his fashion recommendations. They are thoroughly enjoying their time spent together."
The Yeezy designer's connection with Jones eventually dissipated, and he has since found stability in his relationship with Bianca Censori. In January, Us Magazine verified that West exchanged vows with the Yeezy architectural designer in a ceremony that appeared to hold symbolic significance.

According to a second source who spoke to Us in June, Kanye and Bianca are thriving and doing exceptionally well. Kanye believes he has finally found someone who truly understands and loves him for who he is.
Regarding Kardashian, she has recently expressed her lack of urgency in entering a committed relationship.
"I am committed to taking my time and considering various factors, especially when it comes to my children and the people I allow into my life," she shared during an episode of Jay Shetty's "On Purpose" podcast in May. "By reflecting on my past mistakes and being careful, I believe my approach to relationships needs to be different. It's a challenging situation because how do you navigate through it?"
The aspiring lawyer further expressed, "There are many factors to consider, but I will always have faith in love and desire that magical aspect of life. However, I am comfortable with taking my time and not rushing into anything. There's so much happening in my life that I don't feel lonely, and I believe that is crucial. I trust that whatever is meant to be will happen."
