KANYE West’s friends have laughed off reports he is set to divorce Bianca Censori, but admit their relationship is “up and down” after almost two years of marriage.
The rapper and his second wife put on a united front in Tokyo on Tuesday as they brushed off rumors they secretly split.
TMZ reported Bianca was spending time in Australia with her family after breaking up with Kanye, and he was telling pals they were planning to divorce.
Kanye had been flying solo in Tokyo, and the pair had not been pictured together since September 18.
But they have now been seen on a shopping trip looking more loved-up than ever in Japan’s capital.
In one snap, Bianca can be seen beaming as she affectionately held her husband’s face in her hands, and gazed into his eyes while riding an escalator together.
‘NO PLANS’ TO SEPARATE
A source told The U.S. Sun that Bianca and Kanye’s relationship has had its rough moments, but she is “devoted” to him, and has no plans to separate – despite his often erratic behavior.
“Bianca loves being Mrs. West and loves the jet-set lifestyle, it’s unlikely she’d be the one to file for divorce,” the source said.
“Kanye has had issues where he says he doesn’t trust her but they always reunite after a break.
“If anyone is going to file for divorce down the line, it would be Kanye, but he’s religious and believes in marriage, so he’d give it his best shot to keep it together.”
The couple, who married in secret in late 2022, have hit a rough patch before, but fixed their issues.
The Bianca Censori Effect: How Kanye’s Muse is Revolutionizing Celeb Fashion
Throughout their marriage, they have often been traveling the world and staying in lavish locations, with Bianca known to be her husband’s muse when it comes to fashion.
Many have criticized the way he dresses his wife in skimpy outfits, while her family and friends have allegedly expressed their concerns over how controlling he is.
Bianca, who has a Master’s degree in Architecture, met Kanye when he hired her as the head of architecture at Yeezy in November 2020.
According to a report by the Mail Online, they tied the knot in Palo Alto on December 20, 2022, just two months after Kanye’s divorce from Kim Kardashian was finalized.
The outlet claimed to have reviewed confidential marriage documents and alleged the pair were married in Silicon Valley by California-based officiant James Mayfield.
Bianca Censori and Kanye West’s relationship
Bianca Censori was born on January 5, 1995, in Melbourne, Australia
Before her current full-time job, the 29-year-old started a jewelry company called Nylons after leaving high school.
After working as a student architect for three years, she completed a master’s degree between 2019 and 2020 ahead of moving to Los Angeles.
In a radio interview, a childhood friend of Bianca’s claimed that Kanye slid into her DMs on Instagram.
The rapper reportedly said, “Come and work for me.”
At which point she says the designer moved to LA to join his company Yeezy as the “head of architecture” – and has been since November 2020.
WEDDING BELLS
On Friday, October 6, 2023, The Daily Mail reported Kanye and Bianca wed on December 20, 2022.
The couple tied the knot under a “confidential marriage license” in the state of California.
The two wed in Palo Alto, California, according to the document.
The wedding came just one month after Kanye and Kim Kardashian finalized their divorce.
The pair has mostly been inseparable in their first two years, and Kanye even expressed his desire to have another baby.
During his song Keys To My Life, Kanye raps: “You already know my M.O. Is you ready for the Venmo? You already know my demo. You already know I’m impulsive. And another baby is my end goal.”
Despite reports Bianca’s family disapproves of the marriage, she was seen with her parents and sister Angelina last month at Kanye’s concert in China.
The rapper surprised fans at the Wuyuan River Sports Stadium in Hainan, his first concert in China in more than a decade.
But the real surprise appearance came from Bianca’s father Leo Censori, who previously served five years in prison after being convicted of possessing a prohibited Class A drug in 1982, in the VIP area.
In videos shared on social media, Leo was seen watching the show in a private box with his wife Alexandra, and their two daughters.
As the controversial rapper continues to claw back his reputation and career following his anti-Semitic rants in 2022, he has been hosting Vultures listening party events.
He no longer has a record deal and releases music on his own on streaming services.
