From Porsches and Lamborghini convoys to chopper rides to a romantic destination, Khanyi and her new man have had people talking on social media about their relationship.

American rapper and billionaire Kanye West surprised everyone when rumours surfaced that he was dating Russian model and actress Irina Shayk.
