Kanye West married Bianca Censori in December 2022, just one month after his divorce from Kim Kardashian was finalized. Kanye was the one holding up the divorce from Kim – she filed in February 2021, after previewing her strategy and her “I’m over this marriage” energy for months. He fought it, he kept firing his lawyers, he kept trying to stay married to Kim. Until finally, he decided to make Bianca into his Kim replacement. Bianca was… compliant? She’s a grown woman and I don’t want to take away her agency, but the whole thing was deeply uncomfortable. Bianca and Kanye’s marriage gives off cult vibes and it definitely feels like Kanye has publicly used her as as a “doll” to get back at Kim (who does not give a sh-t). In any case, it took less than two years for this marriage to fall apart. Quelle surprise.
Kanye West and Bianca Censori are possibly headed for divorce … TMZ has learned the couple has hit a rough patch in their almost 2-year marriage.
Multiple sources with direct knowledge tell TMZ … Ye and Bianca have been telling people around them they split up a few weeks ago, with the Yeezy architect heading down to Australia to spend time with her family since the split.
While there’s no word on what prompted the split or who pulled the plug on the relationship, we’re told Ye has been telling people close to him he plans to live in Tokyo … and divorce Bianca. The rapper was spotted flying solo in the Japanese capital on more than one occasion. As TMZ previously reported … KW was seen enjoying a meal at a local Jamaican restaurant … with Bianca nowhere in sight.
Prior to this excursion, Ye stepped out for an evening of wrestling at the end of September … where he was seen fist-bumping wrestler La Dinastia Wagner from the crowd. Again, Ye was without Bianca … which was odd for the usually inseparable duo. The couple was last seen photographed on Sept. 20 … when Bianca wore her signature nearly-naked style for a shopping spree with Ye.
There were rumors nearly a year ago that Bianca and Kanye had quietly separated, as well as rumors that her family was worried about her as she wandered around, dead-eyed and mostly naked. But they were back together soon enough and they spent most of this year, doing the same kind of sh-t. The best possible scenario is actually if Kanye simply lost interest and allows Bianca to move on with her life without him. It’s not like she’ll walk away with much – Kanye’s businesses have collapsed and I doubt he has much money saved. It’s not like Bianca can walk away with her dignity either – that ship sailed long ago. I do wish her well though – I hope that she heals and surrounds herself with people who actually care about her.

She’s a grown woman who got with a Nazi for love, money and/or clout. He had already shown the entire world his ass several times when she said, “Yes, this is the man I choose.” So no, I don’t spend energy feeling bad for her. Insofar as it’s possible to choose your own torture, she did, just like Melania.
Absolutely fair. A Nazi and a known abuser. Not that there are good Nazis, but like she also knew he’s obsessively controlling of women, so that’s an in your face thing, even if one can pretend they didn’t know about the other thing. But I know zilch about her, and she seems so dead eyed and miserable, it’s hard not to feel a little bad? I felt bad for Melania very briefly too. For awhile, I genuinely thought Melania was afraid to leave him, and then I realized she simply doesn’t consider any of his behaviors to be deal breakers.
What is Kanyes fascination with dolling up his partners. This goes beyond him being a stylist, he likes to turn them into a shadow of their former selves. He did it to Amber Rose,that Fox lady and also Kim, why she allowed him such control over her looks when she was already rich and famous is nuts.
He’s a manipulative narcissist who gets off controlling the women in his life and stripping away their identity. Convincing these women who exist in the public eye to be his dress up playthings and relinquish their own sense of style is his way of telling the world “Look at how I can make her submit to me, I own her.”
I can’t believe I’m saying something nice about the Kardashians but thank God Kim seems to have a strong family unit and bond. She was able to get away from him and stay away – yes, of her own accord, but in situations like this it’s good to have a supportive family.
It sounds like Bianca’s family was genuinely worried about her so hopefully she can go back to them and find support.
@sue and money.
Don’t forget money. Kim Kardashian not only is well connected but she has enough money to hire an army of lawyers. Not all women have that.
I think the Kardashians met their match with Kanye. They are so used to pulling men into their orbit and sucking them dry for plotlines. They didn’t count on Kanye’s personality disorder being as strong as their talons.
It’s only too late when you’re dead. Pick yourself up, put on some clothes, sign the papers, go home, get theapy, finish college and build a real life. Godspeed.
They both need mental health care.
I am actually worried for Kim.
Her pap photographs give me Princess Charlene vibes. (not the nakedness, but the vacant stare).
At first I read this as pap = pap smear, and I thought, “Oh god, did she publicize photos of her pap smear?” That it took me several seconds to re-think — that says a lot about her? our society? the internet? all of the above?
SNORT! I am not a pearl clutcher – although pearls are having a moment – but if Mrs. West makes you think gynecology, that’s not on you.
Maybe she was tired of him dressing her or rather barely dressing her in what he thought was fashionable. She went along with it so I don’t have any empathy for her or him.
Well that was short lived they seem to be together again in Japan. The weird fashion show continues.
She knew exactly who and what she was marrying. Everyone knows, it’s not like it’s a secret. She made a choice. I’m not going spend any time pearl clutching on her behalf. As far as I can see, two attention seekers got together. He marries /dates women who are attention seekers, they’re both messy.
Yep.
There was a fascinating article in the… Atlantic or variety I can’t remember, about an architectural gem home that Ye purchased, had stripped and ruined because he was going to improve on the vision somehow. It’s a Japanese architect who specializes in concrete boxes essentially, and anyway they interviewed his “contractor” who was just a guy who does construction work on the side. He was unlicensed and living on the site, not getting paid and trying to figure out what to do. It’s a fascinating behind the scenes. He mentions Bianca as one of the ppl he actually interacted with the most, and she was basically like I don’t know what he wants, then would say whatever the new whims were. He said she was nice, and then one day she shows up on tv as Kanye’s date. Ye apparently lost interest in the house when Kim was able to get the Japanese designer to design a new home for her (I don’t know of she built it. But the guy was in his late 80s and rarely does projects).
Bianca looks like she’s dissociating in every picture I see. He needs to have a retinue of well paid sex workers so he can stop pretending to have relationships.
I think it was The New Yorker, I read a similar article.
This tracks because she’s meant to be a trained Architect from what I’ve read. I’ve also heard she’s been back in Melbourne a lot over that last few months, spending time with her family and most of the time dresses completely normally so you’d never know it was her.
I hope she gets out of there. The clothing she is made to wear, to me, looks like a form of sexual abuse. Considering Kanye was throwing a fit about Kim dressing sexy because it “hurt his soul” or whatever…that he would then turn around and dress Bianca in literally next to nothing was telling to me. It felt very much like punishing a Kim analog because he couldnt punish Kim anymore.
Yes shes an adult, but abuse is abuse.
Is rough patch code for she told him no to something? Hard to imagine how bad something could be for her to say this is the line, and you just crossed it! I’ve been saying it for 2 years now with every “outfit” she wore–especially around his children.
My first thought was, it‘ll be winter soon an she is tired of being naked in the cold.
