It’s been the talk of Cannes all week that 18-year-old lingerie model Kate Upton was Kanye West’s new girl after the star was seen kissing a curvy blonde on a balcony in the French city - but the Victoria’s Secret Angel is denying it’s her.
The budding supermodel not only shot down claims she was dating the 33-year-old rapper, but says she wasn’t even in Europe at the time - and was instead working in the U.S.
Writing on her Twitter last night, she insisted: ’Hey I said I wasnt in Cannes come on that girl doesn’t even look like me... I’m not with kanye, I’m not dating kanye.’
