Right after the holidays, Kanye made a sweeping gesture to wife Kim Kardashian in the form of some glamorous new digs. The musician was in contract to buy a chic condo in Miami Beach’s storied building, Faena House, and even took Kim to see it in early January. Perhaps the heavy paparazzi presence for that home tour is what changed their minds, as Kanye has pulled out of the deal and the unit is back on the market seeking $15.5 million.While sources are chirping to Page Six all sorts of reasons for this change of plan, everything from money regrets to information leaks, a rep for Kanye plainly said it’s about privacy. The comment stated: “None of those reasons mentioned are true. When Kim and Kanye went to Miami to view the condo together after Christmas, Kim loved it, but felt it was not private enough for them. They are now looking for a vacation home that is more secluded and offers much more privacy for their family.”After the traumatic robbery Kim experienced in Paris, it’s no surprise that privacy is a top priority. Situated right on Collins Ave, this condo would never have provided that.The high-profile pair are still on the hunt for a getaway, however, so they may make a splashy purchase sometime soon. Although since privacy is a main concern, who knows if it will be so hush-hush that we’ll never hear a peep about it.Want to snag this celebrity-worthy pad?
