After being spotted hanging with West's friends at the end of January and attending a basketball game at his Donda Academy in Chicago, the University of Delaware graduate attended the Donda 2 listening party looking like the spitting image of Kardashian. Around the same time, Jones posted a photo wearing a Yeezy-inspired ensemble on Instagram, along with the caption "his muse."

Jones continued to tease her connection to the "Jesus Walks" rapper on social media after making headlines for her resemblance to the SKIMS founder. In addition to posting a scantily-clad photo posing next to a stack of Akira graphic novels — a series which West previously mentioned owning — the model showed off her curves in several bikini shots before posting a pair of pictures on February 26 where she wore nothing but her hair extensions that strongly resembled Kardashian's content.

On February 28, Jones fueled the romance rumors even more by sharing a selfie on her Instagram Story in which West appeared to have his arm wrapped around her. She added a single black heart emoji to the post.

The Grammy winner seemingly confirmed his relationship with Jones just two days later, when he shared a post from The Shade Room that stated they were "going strong" amid his ongoing divorce drama.

While a source close to the twosome told Us that they were "not exclusive," it was clear that West felt a strong connection to his new muse. “She’s a beautiful model and looks like Kim. So, obviously, he’s attracted to her," the insider explained. “He would pick Kim over anyone but since they’re no longer dating, he’s doing the next best thing — creating another Kim Kardashian. Chaney is going along with it and is loving his fashion suggestions. They’re enjoying spending time together."

The pair attended a Los Angeles Lakers game on March 11, where they were photographed smiling and cuddling while watching the game. Jones commemorated the evening by sharing several paparazzi photos of them entering the Crypto.com arena on Instagram. "Date Night," she captioned the post, along with a black heart emoji.

Despite the constant comparisons to Kardashian, Jones told TMZ on March 18 that she doesn't see a resemblance between herself and the Selfish author. “No, not really,” she said at the time, adding that "[Kanye and I], we don’t speak about [Kim].”

West and Jones took their relationship to the next level when he gifted her a limited-edition Birkin bag worth $275,000.

Jones congratulated West after he won two Grammys for work on his 10th studio album, Donda. “THE BIGGEST,” she wrote via Instagram Stories with a black heart emoji. “SO PROUD.”

A source confirmed to Us on April 13 that West and Jones were on a “baecation.” One day earlier, Kardashian addressed talk about her ex’s new flame being dubbed a lookalike for the first time.

“I just want him to be happy and, like, she seems like the sweetest — just whatever makes you happy, I don't care what it is,” Kardashian said on the “Not Skinny But Not Fat” podcast. “I think that it'll reflect in your life and your work, everything and how you are as a parent. As long as he's happy, I genuinely just want that. Truly.”

In May 2022, Jones posted a new photo of herself via Instagram, which quickly got her followers talking. Eagle-eyed fans noticed that the model had "Ye" tattooed on her wrist — a moniker the rapper uses for himself.

Us confirmed in June 2022 that the duo called it quits after five months together. "Kanye and Chaney are done," an insider explained. "They split amicably. There’s no bad blood, things just fizzled." Jones, meanwhile, deleted all photos of West from her Instagram account.
