Kanye West And Bianca Censori’s Two Year Relationship Timeline Is A Wild Ride

Views: 11

Reports are suggesting that Kanye West‘s marriage to wife of two years Bianca Censori are likely to divorce following a whirlwind two year relationship.

This will be the rapper’s second divorce; he separated from Kim Kardashian in 2021. His relationship with Kim Kardashian, with whom he shares four children, was one of the highest-profile celebrity relationships of the decade. Fans were given front-row seats to “Kimye’s” every move thanks to West’s (very) active Twitter presence and Kardashian’s reality TV series.

We know comparatively little about Censori and “Ye” West’s relationship. The pair managed to get hitched before the press even knew they were an item and since then, Censori remained a figure of mystery. The architect rarely gives interviews, instead generating headlines for her penchant for naked dressing. She favours bralettes, bikini tops and see-through stockings over pants on public excursions. Indeed, in August of this year, journalist and critic Naomi Fry devoted 2500 words in The New Yorker to “The Mute Spectacle of Bianca Censori”.

Kanye West and Bianca Censori’s relationship timeline has covered a period of tumultuous press for the rapper. From antisemitic remarks to claims about extreme behaviour from employees at Adidas the bad press has undoubtedly contributed to the couple’s relatively low profile.

West has retreated from the spotlight. He and Censori have primarily been seen in paparazzi photos and in a handful of appearances during fashion weeks. 

With the couple’s relationship apparently on the rocks, we’re looking back at their mysterious courtship and marriage.
