Kanye West and Bianca Censori Divorce Rumors, Explained

For almost two years now, Ye — the artist formerly known as Kanye West — has been strutting around with Bianca Censori, his partner in romance and deeply confusing dressing. During their relationship, Censori, who was once an architect at Yeezy, has developed a real knack for shocking people with her inventive and often risqué outfits, whether that was going shoeless, wearing a pillow as a top, or stretching stockings to their limits. But there is only so much even these two can do with cotton-spandex, and now rumors are flying that Ye and Censori are planning to get divorced.

According to TMZ, Censori and Ye have both been telling friends they broke up a few weeks ago. The tabloid claims Censori is heading to Australia to reconnect with her family, while Ye apparently has been talking about moving to Tokyo. They haven’t been seen together in public since mid-September, when they went on a shopping outing, also in Tokyo. Ye appears to have stayed there — he was seen last week dining solo in an all-white sweat suit at a Jamaican restaurant in Shibuya City.

Censori and Ye were first seen together in early 2023 sharing a meal at the Waldorf in Beverly Hills. Tabloids spent a large chunk of the year referring to the woman as his “wife” — scare quotes included — because Ye kept calling her that despite there being zero evidence of the couple ever filing for a marriage license. But last October, the Daily Mail claimed to have reviewed a “confidential marriage license” that proved the couple had indeed gotten legally married in December 2022.

Assuming that really is the case, TMZ believes they are now “possibly headed for divorce.” I guess tabloids may soon be referring to Censori as Ye’s “ex-wife”?
