Bianca Censori (born 5 January 1995) is an Australian public figure, known for her relationship with American rapper Kanye West, whom she married in a private ceremony in December 2022. [3]
Bianca Censori was born on 5 January 1995, in Melbourne, one of three daughters born to Alexandra and Elia "Leo" Censori. Her paternal grandparents, native of Giulianova, Italy, emigrated to Australia with their five children. [4]
Censori attended Melbourne's Carey Baptist Grammar School [5] and has a bachelor's and master's degree in architecture from the University of Melbourne. [6] She was a student of architecture at DP Toscano Architects based in Collingwood, Victoria. Censori created the Nylons Jewelry brand after graduating from high school. [7]
In 2007, she met businessman Nick Forgaine, with whom she began a relationship in 2014 that lasted until 2020. [8]
According to her LinkedIn profile, Censori is an architectural designer at Yeezy, Kanye West's clothing and apparel company. [9] [10] [11] As of May 2025, Censori had not held a professional role, e.g. as an architect, at an architectural firm. In 2022, Tanil Raif, founder of a Los Angeles-based design project T__M, released images of a conceptual retail space on Instagram, offering partial attribution of the work to Censori.
On 7 December 2022, West released a song inspired by her titled "Censori Overload" on Instagram. [12] Censori legally married West in December 2022 under a confidential marriage license. [13] [14]
In September 2023, police in Venice were reported to be investigating West and Censori over "acts contrary to public decency" after the couple posted photos of themselves on a water taxi with West's pants pulled down and buttocks exposed, and Censori's head in his lap. [15] [16]
On Censori's 29th birthday on 5 January 2024, Kanye West posted several unreleased pictures of Censori on Instagram along with the caption: "Happy birthday to the most beautiful super bad 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." [17] The same day, West posted a picture of Censori, wearing a Vultures sweatshirt and furry white boots, with the caption: "I miss you when I wake up before you." [17] West subsequently trademarked the caption on 17 January and it was briefly rumoured by fans to be the title of a possible solo album. [18]
In January 2024, West said on his Instagram account that she would be with "no pants" in 2024. Further, in February 2024, there were concerns expressed when she was photographed out in public in the nude except for a see-through raincoat. [19] In early April 2024, she made a similar appearance at a Los Angeles restaurant with her husband. [20] During the development of the YZY APP by Yeezy, Censori allegedly sent an employee a file-sharing link containing explicit sexual content. These materials were accessible to minors working on the app, exposing them to inappropriate content during their development on the project. [21] Their representative Milo Yiannopoulos stated in a TMZ interview that "he's been authorized by Bianca to stress the allegations against her are offensive, disgusting, abhorrent, and wholly false." [22]
Censori appears on the album cover of Vultures 1 (2024), the debut album of ¥$, a hip-hop superduo consisting of West and American singer Ty Dolla Sign. [23]
At the 2025 Grammy Awards, Censori and West caused controversy on the red carpet when Censori appeared wearing a sheer, transparent slip revealing her fully naked body. West, dressed entirely in black, did not address the spectacle before the two left the event shortly after. Reports surfaced that they had been removed from the ceremony, though sources close to the Grammys denied this, stating that West had simply left after walking the red carpet. [24] [25]
In February 2025, reports began to emerge that Censori was intending to divorce West after his recent antisemitic tirades. [26] [27] However, Yiannopoulos denied those reports and shrugged them off as unfounded rumours. [28] Shortly after, reports emerged that the couple had married without signing a prenuptial agreement. [29] [30]
The same month, reports surfaced that West and Censori had separated after two years of marriage. Media outlets cited sources suggesting that Censori had become uncomfortable with aspects of West's public behavior and controversies. However, a representative for the couple denied the split rumours, stating that they planned to spend Valentine's Day together. [31] [32]
In April 2025, West leaked a song to DJ Akademiks called "Bianca" where he begs her to come back, possibly meaning that they had split up sometime in March. [33] On his stream, West said that Censori had to "take time to digest the tweets," suggesting that they were not together at that point. [34] However, the next month the couple were seen in public in the Spanish town of Santanyí. [35]
'I just wanted to tell everybody I posted my wife three times on purpose,' said Ye in a new video also shared on Monday from an airport.
