Kanye West and wife Bianca Censori can’t seem to shake divorce rumours. The latest in a string of split allegations is news that the couple have unfollowed one another on Instagram.
While this is typically a glaring red flag when it comes to celeb couple breakups, on occasion it is a publicity move and in the case of Ye and Censori, we can’t help but assume it’s the latter.
The couple are known for pushing the boundaries in order to make headlines.
Prior to this, Page Six reported Kanye West and Bianca Censori were set for divorce, with Censori allegedly reaching her final straw.
Those rumours began amid a tumultuous fortnight of back-to-back controversies for the couple, beginning with their appearance at the Grammys red carpet where Censori’s naked dress sparked worldwide debate and concerns for her welfare.
Comments on Facebook posts said Censori needed to be “saved” and accused West of coercive control, suggesting she was a victim of abuse.
As the stunt played out across the media landscape, takes that ranged from disbelief to condemnation muddied the waters of what was, undeniably, an uncomfortable situation.
But regardless, discourse has overwhelmingly been focused on Censori’s body and (assumed) victimhood, without addressing the elephant in the (increasingly chaotic) room – Kanye West himself.
That was, until Super Bowl Monday, when West aired a limited-market commercial promoting his website, which at the time was only stocking a single product: T-shirts with swastikas.
The ad aired days after the rapper declared “I’m never apologising for my Jewish comments,” on X, formally Twitter, before launching into a disturbing tirade of pro-Nazi comments.
Shopify removed the online store as soon is it became clear that Ye had violated their terms, and his X account has since been deactivated.
Neither Censori or West have released a statement about his recent anti-Semitic rant, but his reprehensible actions are reportedly behind the latest divorce rumours.
As reported by Page Six, who claim to have spoken exclusively with a source close to the couple, Censori has reached the point of no return.
“She’s had enough. The Swastika shirt [he was selling] was the last straw. She told him that’s not who she is, and that she can’t be associated with that,” the source told Page Six. “He’s saying that he has dominion over her and then he’s selling those shirts. It reflects on her, and she doesn’t want any part of that circus.”
According to the same source, West was reticent to accept Censori’s decision: “He’s saying that she’s just ‘mad at him,’” the source said, “but right now, she’s told him that she’s completely done.”
So Are Kanye West & Bianca Censori Still Together?
Reps for the couple have previously shut down the rumours, denying Kanye West and Bianca Censori are headed for divorce and are instead, very much together.
“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,” Milo Yiannopolous, the couple’s long-time rep, told The Hollywood Reporter soon after the first headlines stared.
“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.”
This isn’t the first time the couple have faced breakup rumours, with reports surfacing in November 2023 when sources told The US Sun Ye and Bianca were “taking a break.”
The report states that her friends held a “purported intervention”, which encouraged the two to spend some time apart.
“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 told the outlet at the time.
“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.”
Do Kanye West & Bianca Censori Have A Prenup?
The Yeezy architect wed the famous rapped in secret in December of 2022, just one month after his divorce to Kim Kardashian was finalised.
The two were reportedly wed in a private ceremony in Beverly Hills, with the Daily Mail claiming the couple used a “confidential marriage license” for their ceremony.
“Ye has been a megastar for two decades and counting, and his first marriage was to someone who lives almost full-time in front of a camera,” a source told the outlet of the couple.
“Bianca and Ye have a totally different vibe. They are very private, very affectionate and totally devoted to each other. I think they both enjoy carving out time that’s just for them.”
