Kanye West and his wife, Bianca Censori, are no strangers to people around the world.
The rapper was first seen with Censori in January 2023 having dinner together. A day later, West, who legally changed his name to Ye, and Censori married in an intimate ceremony.
West has since publicly referred to Censor as his wife, even calling her the "stepmother" of his children in a since-deleted Instagram post from January 2024.
West was previously married to Kim Kardashian, with whom he has four children: North, Saint, Chicago, and Psalm. The two were married for seven years before Kardashian filed for divorce in February 2021. The divorce was officially finalized in November 2022, just months before West married Censori.
Since they've been together, West and Censori have garnered a lot of attention, in part because of the latter's style choices. Although they live largely out of the spotlight, West returned to the Grammy Awards after a decade on Feb. 4 with Censori by his side — and turned heads with his nudity.
So who is Kanye West's wife? Here's everything you need to know about Bianca Censori and her relationship with the rapper.
-She is from Australia, but lives in Los Angeles
The designer is originally from Melbourne, Australia, but currently resides in Los Angeles, according to her LinkedIn profile. In a profile with Vogue Australia in June 2022, the designer spoke about how she divides her time between the two countries.
-The censor has a master's degree in architecture
The designer grew up with a love of art, telling Hypebeast in 2021 that she "always wanted to be a sculptor."
To that end, Censor attended the University of Melbourne from 2013 to 2017, where she earned her bachelor's degree in architecture, according to her LinkedIn. In 2019, she returned to the university to earn her master's degree.
"For me, architecture is the union of art and pragmatism," she told Hypebeast. "It's the grandest artistic gesture we can put on earth. It appealed to me, simply, as a change in artistic scale."
-Works at Yeezy
According to her LinkedIn profile, Censori is an architectural designer for West's fashion brand Yeezy. She has been with the brand since November 2020, which may be how she first met West.
Previously, she also founded her own jewelry company, Nylons.
-She and West quietly married in January 2023
The two were first spotted dining together at the Waldorf Astoria Beverly Hills before TMZ reported their wedding on Jan. 13. A source told the publication that the pair seemed to be "very comfortable" together as they ate their meal.
It is unclear whether the couple has received an official marriage certificate since their intimate ceremony in January 2023.
-She apparently inspired one of West's songs
Although news of their relationship only became public in January, it seems that the two had known each other for some time.
Not only has Censori been working for Yeezy since 2020, but fans have speculated that the rapper's song, "Censori Overload," released in December 2022, was intended as an inspiration from the designer's last name.
-She and West attended the Grammys in February 2025
West, who was nominated in the best rap song category, attended the Grammys for the first time in 10 years on Feb. 2. He was joined by his wife, who turned heads when she posed on the red carpet wearing a mini dress without underwear.
Despite the rumors, PEOPLE confirmed that the couple was not kicked out of the Grammys after Censor's nearly nude appearance. She and West walked the red carpet and left shortly afterward.
The censor later threw another party in another nude look, with a see-through black bodysuit and a pair of black suede boots.
