Kanye West and his fiancée of a year-and-a-half, designer Alexis Phifer have broken off their engagement, Phifer tells People.
"It's always sad when things like this end, and we remain friends,” Phifer tells People.
"They'd been having problems," a pal of West's says. "Kanye is really focused on his show; he's putting everything into the show right now. Alexis is a nice girl, but Kanye has been going through a rough time. They hit a rough patch and for now they've split."
