Nationwide — Kanye West and Bianca Censori are reportedly on the verge of divorce according to The Daily Mail, just 11 days after Censori’s controversial appearance on the Grammy Awards red carpet. Sources suggest they have verbally agreed on a $5 million settlement following their brief marriage, which began in December 2022.A source close to West, 47, confirmed that the couple has already separated, with legal proceedings to dissolve the marriage expected in the coming days. Meanwhile, Censori, 30, is staying at their $35 million home in Beverly Park North, Los Angeles, while West’s current whereabouts remain uncertain. Some speculate he may return to Tokyo, Japan, where he spent much of last year.
Censori appeared visibly uncomfortable at the Grammys on February 2 when West allegedly instructed her to remove her fur coat in front of the cameras, a move he reportedly intended as an artistic statement replicating the cover of his Vultures 2 album. Despite the backlash, West later praised her on social media, calling her “smart, talented, brave, and hot.” He also claimed they had tailored her revealing outfit multiple times before finalizing the look.
The fallout from the Grammys continued as West made headlines for an anti-Semitic rant on social media, during which he identified as a Nazi and praised Hitler. He also attempted to launch a $20 T-shirt featuring a swastika, which was promptly shut down by Shopify. His comments sparked widespread condemnation from Hollywood figures, including actress Isla Fisher and Friends star David Schwimmer.
West later claimed his offensive remarks were part of a “social experiment” and insisted he had been misdiagnosed as bipolar, asserting instead that he is autistic. He also made bizarre statements about believing he was a former Emperor of Japan, a belief he claimed Censori shared.
West was previously married to reality star Kim Kardashian, with whom he shares four children—North, Saint, Chicago, and Psalm. Concerns over his treatment of Censori have been mounting, as she has frequently been seen in increasingly revealing outfits since their marriage. Some critics accuse West of using her as a tool for publicity.
In recent months, reports surfaced that West and Censori had already split but later reconciled, leading some to speculate that their publicized drama is a calculated distraction. Insiders claim West is trying to divert attention from a lawsuit filed against him by former assistant Lauren Pisciotta, who has accused him of drugging and sexually assaulting her at a party with Sean “Diddy” Combs. West has denied the allegations, calling them an attempt at “blackmail and extortion.”
