Kanye West and longtime girlfriend Alexis Phifer have broken up -- putting plans to marry to rest -- but the woman scorned is not dissing her ex. In fact, she's being super classy about the whole thing.

"It's always sad when things like this end, and we remain friends,” Alexis told People.com. "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."

Sources say that Kanye has been majorly wrapped up in his career, specifically his new "Glow in the Dark" tour, and hadn't been making much time for Alexis. The pair, who had gotten engaged in 2006, just couldn't make it work, but kudos to Alexis for taking the high road. It's nice to see exes who can have a mutual respect for each other even after things don't pan out the way they expected.
