Kanye West reportedly took part in a private marriage ceremony with a Yeezy employee just two months after he finalized his high-profile divorce from Kim Kardashian—and amid a tumultuous year for West, who faced massive backlash after he repeatedly made anti-Semitic statements.
Key Facts
West and Bianca Censori held “a private ceremony to celebrate their love,” according to TMZ, which noted sources said it doesn’t appear the two have made it legal by filing a marriage certificate.
Photographs taken this week at a hotel in Beverly Hills show West wearing what appears to be a wedding band on his left hand.
Censori has worked at West’s brand Yeezy as an architect since November 2020, according to a LinkedIn page attributed to her.
She previously worked as a student architect for a firm in Australia while attending the University of Melbourne, where she graduated with a master’s degree in architecture in 2020.
While still a student, Censori started a now-defunct jewelry line with a friend made up of pieces made of Swarovski crystals and nylon mesh.
Tangent
West released a song last month titled “Censori Overload” that contains nods to his recent controversies, including making anti-Semitic statements and appearing on right-wing conspiracy theorist Alex Jones’ broadcast. It also referenced West as staying celibate until he is married again with the lyrics, “and the Bible said / I can’t have anymore sex / until marriage.”
Key Background
West lost his billionaire status last year after major brands like Adidas and Balenciaga severed ties with the rapper after he made anti-Semitic statements and floated bizarre conspiracy theories involving Jewish people. West and Kardashian finalized their divorce in November and avoided a custody battle over their four children.
