Kanye West has reportedly found new love with Bianca Censori following his divorce from Kim Kardashian. Their relationship first made headlines in January 2023 amidst backlash over West’s anti-Semitic remarks. The couple secretly married in December 2022 before making their relationship public. Since then, they have been making news for their bold fashion choices and public displays of affection.
In November 2020, Censori started working for West’s fashion brand, Yeezy, as an architectural designer. It was rumored that she left the University of Melbourne after West reached out to her on Instagram. The couple’s relationship turned romantic in December 2022 when West released a song dedicated to Censori. They were first photographed together in early January 2023 and were later seen holding hands at the Waldorf Astoria Beverly Hills.
On January 13, 2023, TMZ reported that West and Censori had secretly tied the knot in a private ceremony in Beverly Hills. Although they did not file a marriage certificate at the time, it was later revealed that they were legally married, with a wedding date of December 20, 2022, in Palo Alto, California. Their wedding reportedly caused tension with Kardashian, who was not a fan of Censori and was concerned about the impact on their children.
Despite reservations from Kardashian and the Kardashian-Jenner family, Censori quickly embraced her role as a stepmother. She was seen spending time with West’s eldest daughter, North, in Malibu in late January 2023. The couple continued to bond, with North even joining them on outings and attending church with them. By early June 2023, they had settled into a new apartment in West Hollywood.
By mid-June 2023, sources reported that West and Censori were doing well in their relationship, with West feeling understood and loved by his new partner. They celebrated their six-month anniversary with a trip to Japan, where they were seen exploring the city and spending time with Censori’s family. Following their Asian trip, the couple vacationed in Italy, where they displayed their affection publicly and were caught in intimate moments.
In November 2023, reports emerged of an intervention staged by Censori’s friends, urging her to reevaluate her marriage with West. Later that month, sources claimed the couple was taking a break from their relationship, with doubts raised by Censori’s family and friends about her decision to marry West. By October 2024, the couple had reportedly split up, with West telling friends about the breakup as he prepared to move to Tokyo. Censori had joined West in Japan with two of his children the previous month.
