Reports surfaced Thursday claiming that Kanye West and his wife, Bianca Censori, have separated and are in the process of seeking legal counsel for a divorce. TMZ and The Daily Mail reported that both parties have consulted attorneys, with the latter suggesting that Censori agreed to a $5 million payout as part of the separation.
The alleged split comes after a turbulent two weeks for the couple. Censori made headlines at the 2025 Grammy Awards by appearing on the red carpet in a sheer outfit, sparking controversy and speculation about her relationship with West. Days later, the rapper, also known as Ye, took to X (formerly Twitter) in a string of inflammatory posts, calling himself a “Nazi” and asserting that he had “dominion” over his wife. His account was subsequently taken offline, though it remains unclear whether this was voluntary or enforced by the platform.
Meanwhile, West’s Yeezy.com website was taken down by Shopify after it began selling T-shirts featuring a swastika. According to sources cited by The New York Post, this was the tipping point for Censori, who reportedly told West that she wanted nothing to do with the controversy. “The swastika shirt was the last straw,” a source allegedly told the publication. “She doesn’t want any part of that circus.”
Despite the growing reports of their separation, Milo Yiannopoulos, a known right-wing figure who has represented the couple, denied the claims in a statement to The Hollywood Reporter. "Ye and Bianca are in Los Angeles, about to enjoy Valentine’s Day together," he stated. "Announcements about their private life will come from them directly, not unsourced rumors in the tabloid press."
West, who has previously disclosed his struggles with bipolar disorder but now claims to be autistic, has faced increasing backlash for his actions. The rapper is also currently dealing with a lawsuit from a former Yeezy employee, who has accused him of harassment, discrimination, and antisemitic remarks in the workplace.
With no official confirmation from either West or Censori, speculation over their relationship status continues, fueled by both insider reports and direct denials from their camp. Whether the couple is truly heading for divorce or simply battling the latest round of rumors remains to be seen.
