All About Bianca Censori, Kanye West’s Wife

Less than one year after Kim Kardashian and Kanye West were declared legally single in March 2022, West has seemingly remarried, and his alleged new wife actually works for his company, Yeezy.

TMZ reported on Jan. 13, 2023, that West and Bianca Censori recently had a private wedding-like ceremony, although they haven’t yet filed a marriage certificate to make it legal. West was seen wearing a gold wedding band while at lunch with Censori in Beverly Hills on Monday, January 9, and the outlet reports he released a song about her, “Censori Overload” last month.

West has kept a lower profile since his disturbing antisemitic remarks and Hilter comments generated public outrage and lost him numerous business deals, including his lucrative Adidas Yeezy collection, and his billionaire status in October. Kardashian has not commented on West’s alleged new marriage, and Censori and West have only been sighted together very recently, per TMZ.

Here, all you need to know about Censori and her connection to West.

Censori is an Australian architect who has worked for Yeezy since 2020.

Censori is Australian. Her exact age isn’t public, but The Sun reports she’s believed to be around 28. Her LinkedIn describes her as having finished high school in 2012 and her undergraduate degree in 2017. Her position on the page is listed as head of architecture at Yeezy. She’s been a brunette in the past, but recently went blonde and short in new photos with West.

Censori has a master’s in architecture from the University of Melbourne.

Censori earned both bachelor’s and master’s degrees in architecture at the University of Melbourne. She finished her master’s education in 2020 and received her bachelor’s degree in 2017. She previously was a student architect at DP Toscano Architects from July 2017 to June 2020 prior to starting at Yeezy in November 2020, per her LinkedIn.

Censori spoke about her upbringing in Australia in a November 2021 interview with Hypebeast that has since been taken down.

Censori was asked how she got into architecture. “I was born and raised in Melbourne, Australia,” she said. “As a child I was consistently drawn to creative endeavors, mostly artistic. I always wanted to be a sculptor and to me, architecture is the union of art and pragmatics. It is the grandest artistic gesture that we can place onto the earth. I was drawn to it, purely, as a shift in artistic scale.”

“As a child, I spent a lot of time with my aunt who would consistently expose me to an array of art, film, and architecture,” she continued of what fueled her interest in the craft. “She really drove my love for design and instilled in me an eye for aesthetics that I was able to nurture into adulthood.”

She and West were first seen together in early January 2023 and hadn’t legally married when wedding news came out.

West’s romance with Censori, at least publicly, is very new. It’s unclear when the two started dating. TMZ reported that Censori and West were seen at the Waldorf Astoria Beverly Hills sharing a meal on Jan. 9, 2023. On January 13, when it reported on their alleged marriage, the outlet added that while West and Censori weren’t seen or photographed together side by side, she had been at “some Kanye-adjacent events, including a Balenciaga show in May.”

Multiple sources connected to Censori and West told the outlet on January 13 that the couple “recently had a private ceremony to celebrate their love” but didn’t appear to file a marriage certificate yet to make it legal. West was seen wearing a gold ring to symbolize his commitment to her, TMZ reported.

Their wedding certificate proving the marriage is official was reported in October 2023.

On Friday, October 6, it was reported in documents obtained by the Daily Mail that the couple did get a “confidential” marriage license in California on December 20, 2022. Their wedding date was set one month after West's divorce was settled with ex-wife Kim Kardashian.

The license was never made public record before because of its “confidential” status, but the marriage took place in Palo Alto, and was officiated by James Mayfield. Censori's full name is on the license as well as West's legal name, which was changed to “Ye” in October 2021. Their marital home is listed as West’s Wyoming ranch.

What appears to be Censori’s Instagram disappeared following news she and West may be married.

Daily Mail noted that what appeared to be Censori’s Instagram account (@bianca.censori) is now unavailable following news of her and West’s alleged marriage. Censori had 16,500 followers and just 27 posts before the handle was seemingly deactivated.

Kardashian posted cryptic quotes shortly before the marriage news broke.

Yesterday evening, West’s ex-wife posted two quotes on her Instagram Story around the time news of the “marriage” came out. “Just remember, the black sheep turns into the goat. Keep doing you,” one read. Another that followed said, “People who want to see you win, will help you win. Remember that.”

Kardashian broke into tears when discussing how hard co-parenting with West had been in an interview released in late December, especially given his hateful public comments. West and Kardashian share four children: North, Saint, Chicago, and Psalm.

“One day my kids will thank me...for not bashing their dad,” she said at one point. She added later, “I definitely protected him, and I still will in the eyes of my kids. For my kids. So, in my home, my kids don’t know anything that goes on [in] the outside world.”

A source told Page Six a few days after news of the marriage broke that Kardashian “hates” Censori, and has obviously been aware of her for some time.

“Kim hates her,” said the insider. “She’s pretty. And Kim hates pretty girls.”

West’s song “Censori Overload” does not say much about her, but hints why they may have gotten “married” so fast.

TMZ pointed out that West released a song with Censori’s name in the track title last month. Its beginning verse, “And The Bible said / I can’t have anymore sex / Till marriage,” may be a hint, the outlet speculated, about West’s sudden decision to get remarried.

Her family is supportive of her relationship with West.

Angelina Censori, Bianca's sister, recently told the Herald Sun, according to the Daily Mail, “It’s very exciting news for both my sister and the family, but we choose to have some privacy for the time being.”

Alyssia Censori, another relative of Bianca, said that she was “super happy for them both.”

On January 22, a new report from The Herald Sun stated that Kanye may be heading to Melbourne to officially meet everyone. A source said that the pair, “will spend time in Ivanhoe, east of the CBD, where Censori grew up.”]

A source detailed Kardashian's feelings about Censori to Entertainment Tonight in March.

Kardashian wasn't against Censori and West's union, as long as she is positive force to West. The source said, “Bianca has been around their kids. Kim, ultimately, just wants Kanye to be at peace. So if Bianca helps with that, then it’s fine.”

West and Censori continued to be seen together periodically in the first half of 2023 and hit Japan in June.

Fans spotted the couple in Tokyo in late June. At one point, West took photos with a fan while Censori was photographed in their vehicle, holding a Hello Kitty doll.

On June 11, Censori made headlines for being photographed holding hands with West's oldest child North at his birthday party.

The couple walked barefoot in Italy in August.

In early August, West and Censori were traveling around Italy, and walking barefoot through the ancient cities of Florence and Rome. They even went sans footwear to a Travi Scott concert and while visiting a fabric factory in the Prato East district.

Jason Lee, who formerly worked as West’s head of media and partnerships, told Page Six that he thinks the barefoot look is a PR stunt.

“I think the fact that people are talking about Kanye’s feet shows just how much power he still has in the wake of cancel culture,” he said. “I think it’s a smart and strategic move. I wouldn’t be surprised if the next time we saw shoes on his feet it would be a project that he designed.”

After Censori’s sheer outfits sparked some controversy in Italy in late August 2023, sources detailed how West’s ex Kim Kardashian felt about their trip.

Censori drew some outrage from locals for dressing very provocatively, wearing near naked, sheer bodysuits in Italy where her nipples were visible. But after West himself had a wardrobe malfunction where his butt was exposed on a boat, sources spoke to TMZ about how Kardashian felt about their vacation coverage. She isn’t concerned. Kardashian “isn’t staying up to date” on West and his personal life, the sources claimed, noting she is only focused on co-parenting affairs. The sources added that Kardashian viewed West’s NSFW photos vas just an “unfortunate” wardrobe malfunction that paparazzi caught.

A source additionally spoke to Page Six on September 1 about a false tabloid report that Kardashian wanted to warn Censori about West.

“She absolutely does not want to talk to her [Censori],” the source said. “Kim is actually a firm believer in letting people be on their own journey and figure out life. She would never call someone and warn them.”

The couple’s trip to Italy ends with a boat banning.

Venetian Turismo Motoscafi, the company who rented the boat where West's derriere was exposed said in a statement to Daily Mail Australia on Sunday September 3 that the couple is “no longer be welcome” on their ships.

They stated that their employees were “completely unaware” of what was happening at the time, blaming a “third person on board the taxi” who “obstructed the captain’s view”

“The driver had to keep a lookout for traffic and did not see these obscenities,” the company said. “If this had happened, he would have immediately disembarked and reported the transgressors to those in authority.”

They added, “We completely dissociate ourselves from such acts and behavior. Mr. West and his wife will certainly no longer be welcome on board our company’s boats.”

Censori's friends have allegedly been concerned about her marriage.

In early September, shortly after their trip to Italy, a source told Us Weekly that Censori's friends have grown concerned about how her marriage has swept her away from them.

“Bianca’s friends are becoming concerned because their friendship with her hasn’t been the same in quite some time,” the source said. “Bianca has always been a strong, independent woman who has her own voice, but they haven’t seen that lately because they don’t speak or see each other as often as they had before she started seeing Kanye.”

They added that is Censori is “happy, then they’re happy for her” but they find it “hard to tell... because she’s been isolated from them.”

Censori and West head to Germany for more traveling.

The couple continued their European odyssey in September, heading to Berlin, Germany, where they were photographed waiting in line for a meal at the popular eatery, Mustafa’s Gemüse Kebap. In the photos, Censori is wearing her signature see-through, strapless nude bodysuit over a pair of high-waisted underwear. She was also carrying a backpack and walking in clear heels with pointed toes.

West wore black from head-to-toe, with his face shrouded by his extendable collar. They each got a kebab, stopping to eat on a nearby bench.

West and his team dress Censori in her signature looks.

Censori's outfits, particularly her see-through body stockings, have drawn a lot of attention as the couple cavorts through Europe. Sources talking to Page Six says that the looks are put together by Laura Beham of the Zurich-based design collective Proto-types per West and his team's instructions.

They stated that the rapper has a “whole atelier in Italy.”

“Anything he wants to make they can make it. He’s really just making it on the spot,” said Mowalola Ogunlesi, the London-based designer who worked with West on his Yeezy Gap collab. “They just buy tights and style it and cut it on [Censori] … Usually they get Wolford. Tights are not safe when they’re around.”

An anonymous source confirmed Ogunlesi's statements, saying, “They design it and have an in-house team that creates everything in a day.”

In November 2023, they were rumored to be “on a break.”

After those disturbing reports, the Sun reported that West and Censori are rumored to be “taking a break” following a successful friend intervention.

“Her family has never been a fan of Ye, and those close to her have questioned whether marrying him was the right decision,” a source said on Friday, November 17. “He is a very difficult person to be around and work for, and Bianca has been one of the most patient people ever to deal with him. She’s been all about Ye.”

They added West “has been a lot happier and more focused with her around,” but that their relationship has “taken its toll on her a bit with everyone having their opinion.”

West was in Saudi Arabia while Censori was in her homeland of Australia then; he is allegedly making new music with Ty Dollar $ign and is “not that worried” about his marriage.

“[Censori] may go back to him for the album launch—she loves the lifestyle—but I think it’s clear her family and friends would rather she didn’t,” the source stated.

They were seen together again in Dubai at the end of November.

Censori and West reunited in Dubai at the Atlantis resort over the Thanksgiving weekend, debunking breakup rumors. Videos posted on TMZ show West and Censori standing together, seemingly smiling and having fun. At one point, she leans against her husband. Also at the party were Chris Brown, Ty Dolla $ign, and other entertainment personalities. West wore all black and Censori was in a bra top and a cream colored wraparound skirt with a front train.

On November 30, Amina Muaddi shared a photo of West and Censori posing alongside her on Instagram. Censori was holding a stuffed animal in the shot. Muaddi captioned the photo, “What a night! Grateful for Dubai’s warmest welcome while celebrating the opening of our first pop-up store in the Middle East with @ounass. 🧡” The photo of them is the second slide:

Their tour continued to Las Vegas after family time with North West at Disney.

On Thursday, December 13, West and Censori brought his daughter North West to Disneyland. In pictures shared by TMZ, Censori is wearing a full length sleeveless white bodysuit and holding the girl's hand as they make their way through the crowd. They enjoyed the Haunted Mansion through the VIP back entrance and then headed to Frontier Land.

On Friday, the couple were seen leaving their hotel in Las Vegas following his controversial listening party for his upcoming LP Vultures, which was eventually shut down by police. Censori appeared to be clad in the same bodysuit. West was in all black with a matching towel over his head.

West kicked off 2024 by posting photos of Censori posing in lingerie on Instagram.

West shared new photos of his wife wearing very little clothing on January 2. “No pants this year,” he captioned the first shot of her wearing a thong and bandeau. A second was a mirror selfie featuring the two of them, with Censori appearing almost topless in the corseted bodysuit she wore. The third featured her looking down in that same very low-cut bodysuit.

He also celebrated her birthday with some more safe for work pics.

While he did share some more titillating images of his wife for her birthday, the rapper also shared some cuter images of Censori for her birthday.

On a photo of what could pass for a mugshot, West wrote, “Happy birthday to the most beautiful super bad fun iconic muse inspirational talented artist masters degree in architecture 140 IQ loving by my side everyday when half the world turned their backs on me and the most amazing step mom to our children I love you so much thank you for sharing your life with me.”

The couple were back in Los Angeles for the new year.

The pair were bundled up for an outing on Thursday, January 11, in Los Angeles. Censori was wearing an over-sized, long leather coat with a fluffy black hat and a pair of black heeled boots. West wore large gray jeans and an enormous hooded jacket over a black T-shirt. The couple were out shopping.

In February, they made a public appearance in Milan.

On February 23, 2024, West and Censori made an official public appearance at Marni RTW Fall 2024 as part of Milan Ready to Wear Fashion Week in Italy.

Kardashian and Censori appeared together at an event for West in March 2024.

Censori and Kardashian came together to support West at his Vultures listening party, which took place in San Francisco’s Chase Center on March 12. TMZ ran footage of them standing alongside each other at the event. The outlet noted that they were comfortable being around the other but not super chatty or chummy. It marks one of the first times Kardashian and Censori have been captured side-by-side at an event.

Later that month, on March 16, Censori was seen out with her mother, Alexandra, wearing an extra mini minidress in pale pink with a plunging neckline, backless bodice, and halter neck covered in crystals. She wore them with sheer knee high socks and kitten heels in cream. Her hair was pinned up and she wore her wedding ring and hoops in her ears. Alexandra was in all black, wearing an asymmetrical gown and matching pumps. The mother-daughter dup arrive in Los Angeles the day before, arriving with West and Ty Dolla $ign following their performances at Rolling Loud.
