Kanye West and Bianca Censori are reportedly “not ready to give up” on their marriage. The couple has been facing intense public scrutiny since they began dating in 2022, with their relationship frequently making headlines in entertainment news.
The 47-year-old rapper and his wife were said to have split earlier this month in the aftermath of his latest rants – which saw him selling T-shirt emblazoned with a swastika – and they were forced to deny the reports as a representative claimed they were still together. The controversial merchandise sparked widespread condemnation across social media platforms and entertainment industry circles.
“[They] have done a lot of talking this past week and they’re not ready to give up on each other,” however, a source has told Page Six that the couple have “decided to make their marriage work again”, adding. Sources close to the couple indicate they have been attending couples therapy sessions to address their relationship challenges.
Reports still claim the couple split after two years of marriage. These contradictory accounts have created confusion among fans and media outlets trying to determine the actual status of their relationship.
“Ye and Bianca are in Los Angeles, about to enjoy Valentine’s Day together,” but Ye’s rep Milo Yiannopoulos told The Hollywood Reporter recently. “Announcements about their private life will come from them directly, not unsourced rumor in the tabloid press. 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.” Industry insiders note that the couple’s representatives have been working overtime to manage the narrative surrounding their relationship.
The statement came after the MailOnline reported the pair had parted ways with a source telling the publication they expected “a legal filing to end the marriage in the coming days”. This report, like many others, cited anonymous sources claiming insider knowledge of the couple’s private affairs.
TMZ.com also reported the split news with an insider telling the website: “Both sides have reached out to divorce attorneys.” The publication has a history of breaking celebrity divorce news, though their reports on this particular relationship have been inconsistent.
“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,” meanwhile, an insider that previously 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… [However] he’s saying that she’s just ‘mad at him but right now, she’s told him that she’s completely done.” Fashion industry experts have noted that Bianca’s career as an architect could be negatively impacted by association with controversial messaging.
Kanye was previously married to reality TV star Kim Kardashian, who he divorced in 2022 – the same year he started dating architect Bianca, 30. The rapper and Kardashian share four children together: North, Saint, Chicago, and Psalm, adding complexity to his current relationship dynamics.
The latest reports about the couple’s relationship come just weeks after they appeared together at the Grammy Awards with Bianca hitting headlines for dropping her coat on the red carpet to reveal she was wearing a completely see-through dress which showed her naked body. The revealing outfit generated thousands of social media comments and dominated entertainment news coverage for several days after the event.
Celebrity relationship experts have pointed out that high-profile couples often face additional pressures that can strain their marriages, particularly when controversial business decisions or public behavior becomes involved. Statistics show that celebrities experience divorce rates significantly higher than the general population.
Friends of the couple have expressed concern about the rapid pace of their relationship, which progressed from dating to marriage in less than a year. Cultural differences have also reportedly played a role in their relationship challenges, with Bianca’s Australian background sometimes clashing with Kanye’s American celebrity lifestyle.
Despite the ongoing speculation, the couple has maintained a united front in public appearances, though their social media presence together has noticeably decreased in recent months. Fashion industry observers note that Bianca’s style has evolved dramatically since beginning her relationship with the rapper-turned-designer.
