Rapper Kanye West and his fianc??e of eighteen months, Alexis Phifer, have broken off their engagement, with Phifer saying that she's sad over the split, but that they "remain friends".
Phifer, a designer, was spotted on the red carpet at an "Evenings in Vogue" event on Thursday (April 17) in New York, where her clothing line, Ghita, was featured. She was reportedly not wearing her engagement ring."It's always sad when things like this end, and we remain friends," Phifer told People magazine.
"I wish him the best in his future and all of his endeavors. He's one of the most talented people I've ever met."
Phifer and West, both 30, have been dating on and off since 2002. They got engaged during a vacation on the island of Capri in August 2006.
A rep for West, currently on tour with his 'Glow in the Dark' concert series, had no comment.
