Ye and Bianca Censori Are Reportedly Not Splitting Up, Didn’t Contact Divorce Lawyers (UPDATE)

UPDATED 2/13, 5:30 p.m. ET: Ye and Bianca Censori might not be heading for divorce after all.

A representative for Ye denied the couple had split up in a statement made to the Hollywood Reporter, saying, “Ye and Bianca are in Los Angeles, about to enjoy Valentine’s Day together. Announcements about their private life will come from them directly, not unsourced rumor in the tabloid press.”

“Is this the fifth or is it the sixth time the press has wrongly reported that Ye and Bianca are separating? I’ve lost track.”

See the original story below.

The artist formerly known as Kanye West and his wife Bianca Censori have reportedly split.

TMZ and the British tabloid The Daily Mail report that the couple has contacted divorce attorneys, according to a source close to the rapper. The news of their split comes not long after their controversial appearance at the Grammys red carpet, where Censori dramatically revealed a completely see-through dress under a fur jacket. Shortly after the Grammys moment, Ye declared himself "a Nazi" on Elon Musk's X, formerly Twitter.

Censori was employed as an architectural designer for Ye's Yeezy brand in late 2020, when his relationship with ex-wife Kim Kardashian appeared to be ending (she later filed for divorce in January 2021). It's not clear when they first started dating—he also dated Julia Fox briefly in early 2022—but he dropped the song "Censori Overload" in December 2022. By January 2023, they were photographed together in Beverly Hills.

Before they were spotted together in public, the couple reportedly married in "a small marriage ceremony" in Palo Alto, California in December 2022. While the legal status of their wedding was unclear, it was later confirmed they were legally married using a confidential marriage license. Ye and Censori initially kept their relationship very private, but that all changed when they attracted attention for her risqué outfits in public.

In August 2023 they went on vacation to Venice and courted controversy when they were accused of indecent exposure and getting physical in public. Their alleged behavior led to a police investigation. Later that year, it was alleged that Ye dictated "a set of rules" for his wife, including what she wore and when she would speak.

The couple reportedly had a break in November 2023 after Censori's friends and family staged an intervention when she returned home to Australia. It looked as though they were going through a rough patch, but by the time Ye's Vultures listening parties rolled around last year, they were seen together again. In fact, she was at one of the Vultures 2 listening parties with her butt cheeks on full display.

They reportedly experienced relationship issues again in October 2024 according to sources close to the couple. Around the time, Ye was allegedly telling people that he was planning to move to Tokyo, Japan, and get divorced. But just a couple of months later, he was celebrating Bianca's 30th birthday on Instagram.

And that brings us up to now, with their marriage supposedly finally coming to an end after weeks of some of the most disastrous publicity in Ye's career.
