Kanye, who prefers to go by 'Ye', has largely disappeared from the public eye after voicing highly offensive, anti-semitic opinions, which saw him banned from multiple social media platforms. His January 2023 'wedding' to Censori appeared to happen quickly, with West only finalising his divorce from Kim Kardashian in November 2022.
If you're wondering how this all came about, who is Bianca Censori and is she, indeed, Australian? (She is), read on.
Who Is Bianca Censori, Kanye West's New Wife?Bianca Censori, 28, is an Australian architect who works at Kanye West's design company, Yeezy.
Censori was raised in Melbourne, Victoria, where she attended school and university. According to Bianca's LinkedIn, she studied a Bachelor and Master's Degree in Architecture at the University of Melbourne between 2013 and 2020. After this, in November 2020, Censori started as an Architectural Designer at Yeezy—Kanye West's fashion brand.
It is presumed this is where she met her now-husband, though this has not been confirmed.

With Kanye's divorce from Kim Kardashian finalised in November 2022, West swiftly moved forward with a new relationship and marriage.
In January 2023, it was reported Kanye 'married' his new partner, Bianca Censori.
The two were reportedly wed in a private ceremony in Beverly Hills. TMZ broke the news of the ceremony, but also confirmed the two did not file for a marriage certificate, meaning the nuptials may not be 'official'. Nevertheless, Ye has been spotted wearing a wedding ring since making the commitment.
After news broke of West and Censori's wedding, many were quick to remark on the architect's resemblance to West's previous wife, Kim Kardashian.
With long, dark hair and brown eyes, some can certainly see a handful of similarities.
However, Censori has since chopped her locks into a shaggy blonde pixie cut.

Early in 2023, Australian federal minister Jason Clare said Kanye may be denied entry into Australia based on his history of anti-semitic remarks and alleged Nazi sympathies.
The politician said there was a precedent of people with such views being denied entry to the country. The comments came shortly after news broke of West's marriage to Melbourne-raised Censori, when it was assumed West would attempt to visit Australia to visit his new in-laws.
"I don't know if he's applied for a visa yet, but Google it, you will see that he seems like he's a pretty big fan of a person who killed six million Jewish people last century. People like that who've applied for visas to get into Australia in the past have been rejected," Clare said at the time, according to the Sydney Morning Herald.
"I expect that if he does apply, he would have to go through the same process and answer the same questions that they did."
There has been no follow-up news on whether or not Kanye has attempted to visit Australia and, if so, whether he has been denied entry.
