In early 2022, Kanye West entered into a brief romance with Chaney Jones shortly after ending his relationship with Julia Fox in February of that year. West confirmed his involvement with Jones in March 2022 by reposting a photo shared by the Shade Room on Instagram, depicting the couple together. Despite being “Instagram official,” the relationship remained casual, with sources noting that they were spending time together without exclusivity.
However, the romance with Jones came to an end on June 7, 2022, shortly after returning from a trip to Japan. The reason for the breakup was not disclosed by TMZ, which reported the news. Following the split, Jones removed all Instagram posts featuring West, signaling the end of their relationship. Despite this, Jones remained active on Instagram, using the platform to promote her new clothing line.
After the breakup with West, Chaney Jones continued to maintain a substantial online following, using it to share sponsored posts for Fashion Nova and to introduce her clothing brand, Tahira Studios. In August 2023, she teased the brand’s launch with behind-the-scenes photos of a photo shoot featuring herself and another model wearing Tahira Studios outfits. The official launch occurred later that month, with Jones expressing her excitement for sharing the collection.
Jones faced some criticism from fans who felt that her fashion choices resembled those of Kanye West’s ex-wife, Kim Kardashian. This resemblance was initially noted when Jones posted a photo in early 2022 with the caption “his muse,” wearing a leather Rick Owens outfit that drew comparisons to Kardashian. The similarities in their fashion choices became more apparent when both attended Michael Rubin’s July 4 party in 2022, with fans pointing out the resemblance in their Alaïa outfits. Despite the breakup with West, Jones continued to be compared to his exes, especially in terms of their fashion preferences.
