Relationship with Kanye West
Censori legally married West in December 2022 under a confidential marriage license, marking Censori's first and West's second marriage.[29][30] In September 2023, police in Venice were reported to be investigating West and Censori over "acts contrary to public decency" after the couple posted photos of themselves on a water taxi with West's pants pulled down and buttocks exposed, and Censori's head in his lap.[31][32] Censori appears on the album cover of Vultures 1 (2024), the debut album of ¥$, a hip-hop superduo consisting of West and American singer Ty Dolla Sign.[33]
At the 2025 Grammy Awards, Censori and West caused controversy on the red carpet when Censori appeared wearing a sheer, transparent slip revealing her fully naked body. West, dressed entirely in black, did not address the spectacle before the two left the event shortly after. Reports surfaced that they had been removed from the ceremony, though sources close to the Grammys denied that, stating that West had simply left after walking the red carpet.[34][35] In February 2025, reports began to emerge that Censori was intending to divorce West after his recent antisemitic tirades.[36] However, Milo Yiannopoulos denied those reports, dismissing them as rumors.[37] Shortly after, reports emerged that the couple had married without signing a prenuptial agreement.[38] The same month, reports surfaced that West and Censori had separated after two years of marriage. Media outlets cited sources suggesting that Censori had become uncomfortable with aspects of West's public behavior and controversies. However, a representative for the couple denied the split rumours, stating that they planned to spend Valentine's Day together.[39]
In April 2025, West previewed a song on a livestream with DJ Akademiks called "Bianca", where he begs her to come back, possibly meaning that they had split up sometime in March.[40] On his stream, West said that Censori had to "take time to digest the tweets," suggesting that they were not together at that point.[41] However, the next month the couple were seen in public in the Spanish town of Santanyí.[42] In the same month she also launched jewelry inspired by medical instruments such as speculums.[43]
