That could have been awkward! Kanye West narrowly avoids Kim Kardashian's ex-husband Kris Humphries as they both step out in SoHo
It's one of the most famous islands in the world.
But even Manhattanites would admit the borough is a pretty small place.
Kanye West managed to avoid a run-in with his wife Kim Kardashian ex-husband Kris Humphries as they were both spotted in neighbouring streets in SoHo on Monday night.

While 38-year-old Kanye - who has a home in New York - was attending his sisters-in-law Kylie and Kendall Jenner's fashion launch, Kris is in the Big Apple for work.
The basketball star is expected to join his team Washington Wizards as they play the New York Knicks at Madison Square Garden on Tuesday.
Kris, 31, has been resting for the past 16 games after a 'calcification' in his right knee, but is expected to resume playing for the Knicks game.

DC-based Kris - who at 6ft 9in is over a foot taller than Kanye - was spotted arriving in SoHo with his teammates on Monday as they checked into a hotel.
As you would expect, there is no love lost between the basketball player and Kanye.

In Kanye's 2012 song Cold, the rapper hit out at Kris, who was then playing for the Brooklyn Nets, which was co-owned at the time by his friend Jay Z.
He rapped: 'I’ll admit, I had fell in love with Kim. Around the same time she had fell in love with him. Well that’s cool, baby girl, do ya thang. Lucky I ain’t had Jay drop him from the team.'
The socialite and Kris famously wed in August 2011 after just 10 months of dating. It famously broke down after just 72 days of marriage.

Within a couple of months, Kim began dating Kanye in secret, before they went public in April 2012, before announcing her pregnancy that December.
Kim was still legally wed to Kris while she was pregnant with North - something that caused her great distress at the time - with their divorce being granted in June 2013 just 12 days before her daughter was born.
She went on to make Kanye her third husband during a lavish ceremony in Italy in May 2014, with their second child Saint born last December.
