Kanye West and Bianca Censori are reportedly heading for divorce nearly two years after their whirlwind marriage, which began after they connected through private social media chats. Sources have confirmed to TMZ that the couple has been informing loved ones of their breakup in recent weeks, during which they have been living separately. Censori has returned to her family in Australia, while West has been seen socializing in Japan.
Details about the reasons behind their divorce or who initiated it remain unclear. However, West has indicated to those close to him that he plans to reside in Tokyo and formally divorce Censori. Just two weeks after being spotted with her in Tokyo, West enjoyed a solo outing at a Jamaican restaurant called Good Wood Terrace, where he wore an all-white outfit and raved about the jerk chicken, even signing the wall in appreciation.
Additionally, West was photographed dining with rapper Baby Keem at NIGO’s restaurant Curry Up in Tokyo. According to Elle, West initially approached Censori through direct messages on Instagram in late 2020, inviting her to work for him, which led her to relocate to Los Angeles to join Yeezy.
Reports suggest that trouble in their marriage began to surface after Censori’s explicit outings with West, prompting concern from her friends and family. They urged her to distance herself from her husband, with one source stating, “Her friends let her know exactly how they feel, and they told her that she needs to wake the f—k up.”
Censori is reportedly beginning to see the situation from a different perspective, acknowledging West’s controlling behavior. A source noted that the separation has been difficult, but necessary, as “Bianca is stuck, and her friends are trying to save her, but no one can because of the blockades Kanye has put up around her.”
Friends and family are reportedly worried about Censori, who is described as an outspoken and lively individual. The source added that West convinced Censori of their “royal” status, which has led to her feeling isolated and controlled.
