Kanye West has now split up with his fiancee of two years, designer Alexis Phifer.
Despite marriage rumours circling in recent weeks, it seems the couple were unable to find enough time together and decided to separate amicably, according to People Magazine.
It's always sad when things like this end, and we remain friends," Phifer tells to People.com, confirming the breakup reports. "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."
The couple has been together on and off since 2002 but it appears Kanye's dedication to his current touring plans has stifled the couple's romance.
"They'd been having problems," a friend of Kanye's added. "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."
