The real reason Kanye West and Bianca Censori 'split two years after secret wedding'

Kanye West and Bianca Censori are reportedly heading for divorce just two years after their marriage.

The 47-year-old rapper secretly wed the 29-year-old Yeezy architect in 2022, shortly after his marriage to Kim Kardashian officially ended.

The couple was often seen together, making headlines for their public displays of affection and the model's fashion choices.

However, reports suggest that they are now facing difficulties in their relationship and may have quietly parted ways.

Insiders told TMZ that West and Censori have informed their close circle that they split a few weeks ago.

The father-of-four, recently spotted in Japan alone, is said to have told friends about his plans to divorce Censori and move to Tokyo permanently.

Meanwhile, she has reportedly travelled to Australia to spend time with her family during this challenging period.

Although neither has publicly addressed the reported breakup, they were last seen together on September 20, exploring a supermarket in Tokyo with West’s two sons, Saint and Psalm.

Their outing raised eyebrows, as Censori wore a sheer nude low-cut tank top paired with grey leggings, giving her a nearly naked appearance.

Commenting on the reason they’ve split, a source told MailOnline: “Bianca started to see the relationship in a new light when her friends and family voiced concerns about the way she was dressing in public and Kanye felt that she wasn’t as into him as she was in the beginning.

“There are no hard feelings but she couldn’t ignore her family when they asked her to explain the stranger parts of their relationship. They have broken up before so there is a chance they’ll reunite.”

West married his second wife in December 2022, just months after his divorce from Kardashian was finalised. The couple reportedly held a private ceremony at a luxury hotel to celebrate their nuptials.

Although already married, they went public with their romance at the beginning of 2023 but kept details of their wedding under wraps until Censori shocked everyone by referring to West as her "husband" in May.

Following this revelation, their PDAs became increasingly bold, prompting a warning from Italian tourism officials after they were photographed in a compromising position on a boat in Venice.

Concerns have also been raised about her revealing outfits, with some suggesting that West fashion choices for her could be seen as "humiliating."

Reports previously suggested that her parents were fearing the worst for their daughter and felt they no longer "recognised" her.

An insider told MailOnline in February: “Her family and friends are horrified as the situation continues to deteriorate. Her parents are extremely upset because they do not recognize her anymore.”

Censori’s sister Angelina later responded to the reports, stating that this couldn't be further from the truth and insisting that their family fully supports the couple.

She told The Herald Sun: “We all support him. We support his new album. We support his new clothes he’s dropping.”

The Standard has contacted Kanye West and Bianca Censori’s rep for a comment.
