Who is Kanye West’s ‘wife’ Bianca Censori? Couple banned from Venice boat company

Following recent misbehaviour on board one of its vessels, Kanye West and his “wife”, Bianca Censori, have received a ban from a Venice boat firm.

The rapper, who changed his name to “Ye” in 2021, was pictured at the end of August taking a boat ride in Venice with Australian architect Censori.

Nevertheless, some of the images displayed the couple in a somewhat exposed stance. Censori looked to be crouched between the legs of West who was photographed with his trousers down and his bottom exposed.

According to reports, Lady Gaga, Harry Styles and Ben Affleck are among the clients of Venezia Turismo Motoscafi. A company representative said the driver had missed “these obscenities” owing to watching for traffic on the water.

The statement also said the driver would have “immediately disembarked and reported the transgressors to those in authority” if the driver had seen the couple acting in any way that was considered indecent.

The statement said: “We completely dissociate ourselves from such acts and behaviour. Mr West and his wife will certainly no longer be welcome on board our company’s boats.”

Censori previously confirmed her marriage to Kanye West, just months after he finalised his divorce from Kim Kardashian.

The 27-year-old Yeezy architect was seen in a recent TikTok video conversing with a man in a clothes store, who requested her phone number.

In response, Censori said, “I'm married!” with a broad grin.

The man responded: “Really?” with a saddened expression, before adding: “Damn,” as Censori nodded.

According to TMZ, the wedding was a private ceremony and didn’t include a marriage certificate, which is the document that legally recognises a union.

West had been spotted wearing a wedding band on his ring finger a short while ago, when he and Censori were spending time at the Waldorf Astoria in Beverly Hills.

Before the announcement of their “marriage” in January, West and Censori fuelled romance suspicions when they were photographed dining together at the Waldorf Astoria in Beverly Hills.

But who exactly is Kanye West’s so-called wife, Bianca Censori? Here’s everything we know.

Who is Bianca Censori?

According to her LinkedIn profile, Bianca Censori completed her studies in architecture at the University of Melbourne.

While Censori – who looks remarkably like Kardashian – completed her education, she ran a brand called Nylons Jewellery.

After working as a student architect for Australian companies, she moved to the United States.

In November 2020, Censori was hired to be an architectural designer at Kanye West’s brand, Yeezy.

When did Bianca Censori and Kanye West start dating?

While West and Censori have been seen together at a number of events, it’s unclear when their work relationship turned into a personal one.

In a 2016 interview with iD, her age was listed as 21, which would make her about 27 years old today.

In December 2022, the rapper released a song entitled Censori Overload, all about his new belle.

The lyrics share: “I know it’s ’cause the headlines, why she wanna leave, you know I follow God, so you should follow me.”

In the past, Ms Censori was very active on social media, with 16,500 followers, but has recently decided to delete her Instagram account.
