Looks like Kanye West and Irina Shayk’s summer romance is already coming to an end—although honestly, it may have never even started? A source tells Page Six that Irina turned down Kanye’s invite to join him in Paris for a couture show, saying, “She likes him as a friend but doesn’t want a relationship with him.”

Apparently, Irina denied the invite to avoid headlines about them dating, with the source explaining, “She doesn’t want the association that they are dating, which is what would have run in the press if she showed up [in Paris with him]. It would have been another month of news saying that they are dating.”

On top of that, the source says that Irina’s trip to France for Kanye’s 44th birthday in June was a friends-only vibe: “She went to his birthday party as a friend. There were 50 other people there. She doesn’t want to be linked with anyone right now. She is happy being single.”

Just FYI, last month, a source told Page Six that “Kanye always had a thing for Irina, so she came to mind early on in his divorce from Kim. He decided to shoot his shot, and it worked.” That source also added, “Irina is a very hands-on mother and won’t let a new romance distract her from her daughter, so it’s perfect that things with Kanye are very casual and laid-back at the moment. They’re still getting acquainted, but the spark is definitely there, and Kanye likes where things are headed.”

So…in conclusion: It looks like these two aren’t dating after all! I guess!
