Love Island Star Leah Kateb Dodges Kanye West Dating Rumors in Awkward Interview
Leah Kateb, the rising star from Season 6 of "Love Island USA," recently found herself in a rather awkward position during a podcast interview when asked about her alleged relationship with none other than Kanye West.
During the "Call Her Daddy" podcast with Alex Cooper, the 24-year-old reality star was hit with the burning question, "There are rumors in LA that you dated Kanye West, can you confirm or deny?"
What followed was a moment of hesitation from Kateb as she glanced off-camera, causing a brief pause that prompted Cooper to humorously suggest moving on. "Should I move on?" she asked, breaking the tension.
With a chuckle, Kateb diverted the conversation, quipping, "Ask me more about Rob [Rausch]. Suddenly, I want to talk about him. Suddenly, I would like to talk about Rob more."
While the origins of the Kanye West dating rumor remain unclear, Kateb's residence in Calabasas, Calif., where the rapper owns a $2.2 million ranch, has fueled speculation. Additionally, Kateb's Persian heritage and striking resemblance to West's past partners add an intriguing layer to the gossip.
However, it's essential to note that Kanye West has been happily married to Bianca Censori since December 2022, casting doubt on the timeline of any alleged fling with Kateb.
Currently, Kateb is romantically involved with Miguel Harichi, whom she met on "Love Island." Their relationship blossomed amidst the drama that unfolded during the show's sixth season.
Initially coupled with Rausch, Kateb faced heartbreak as he twice chose other contestants over her. Despite the rocky start, Kateb and Harichi persevered, ultimately clinching second place in the season finale.
On the other hand, Rausch and his subsequent partner, Andrea Carmona, have encountered challenges in sustaining their romance. Rausch hinted at maintaining distance from Carmona, indicating a potential strain in their relationship.
As the Love Island drama continues to unfold off-screen, fans eagerly await further updates on the cast members' romantic entanglements and personal journeys.
