The future Mrs. Kanye West is a mystery -- but now she does exist.
The Chicago rapper is engaged to a girlfriend named Alexis, according to People.com. The woman's last name and occupation remain unknown, but she was West's love interest before his October 2002 car accident, according to People.
The 29-year-old rapper-producer popped the question recently while on a two-week overseas vacation. He returned to Chicago as the headliner for last weekend's Lollapalooza festival.
West, a six-time Grammy winner, split from his girlfriend in August 2004, telling Blender magazine later that year that he was single and loving it.
"The thing is," he told Blender, "I always had a girlfriend. Now it's like some property opening up on the beach that no one could get into until now."
The pair reunited after two years apart, according to People.
West found early fame as a producer for Roc-a-Fella Records, where he worked on Jay-Z's 2001 album The Blueprint. He's also produced Chicago rapper Common, Ludacris, Alicia Keys and Janet Jackson.
His near-fatal car crash in 2002 nearly ended his fledgling career. The accident inspired the single "Through the Wire" from his 2004 debut, The College Dropout. West followed up his success with 2005's Late Registration, which won three Grammys.
West has managed to keep his private life his own, although he was dating 24-year-old model Brooke Crittenden as recently as this April.
He's also been romantically linked to American Idol winner Fantasia Barrino and Pamela Anderson.
