Kanye West's marriage to Bianca Censori has been a controversial subject. Between Ye, 47, parading the Yeezy architect, 29, around in outfits barely covering anything and reports that she was completely submissive to him, the relationship seemed doomed from the beginning. However, the couple seemingly shut down divorce speculation with their most recent outing — and evidently, Ye and Bianca were the ones who started the rumors, friends claim.
To recap, Kanye announced in early 2023 that he and Bianca had tied the knot. They actually married in December 2022, just one month after Kanye finalized his divorce from Kim Kardashian. Since then, Bianca has become notorious for her see-through fashion, pantsless looks, and other exceptionally revealing style choices.

Reports about Kanye and Bianca heading for divorce were rampant on October 7.
Just one day before their Tokyo outing, multiple outlets reported that Kanye and Bianca were on the brink of divorce. TMZ reported the couple "hit a rough patch" in their marriage. Additionally, a source with direct knowledge of the relationship reportedly told the outlet they had split two weeks ago.
On October 8, they seemingly shut down divorce rumors.
Kanye and Bianca finally stepped out together on October 8 during a trip to Tokyo. For the outing, she donned a sheer ivory crop top and flared pants with feathers on the bottom. Kanye, meanwhile, wore a long-sleeved T-shirt and matching pants.
Friends have now reportedly called Kanye and Bianca 'pathetic.'
After Kanye and Bianca seemingly shut down divorce rumors on October 8, a source spoke out about the speculation. The couple, evidently, were the ones who started the breakup rumors.
"Kanye and Bianca were responsible for the news that they were divorcing getting out there because this is what they both told people," the source told the Daily Mail.
Reportedly, insiders claim the couple planted breakup rumors for attention.
"They knew that, by doing this, it would create some buzz and make them relevant as he tries to promote his new album," insiders reportedly told the Daily Mail. "They both know that people are just over them and that her naked outfits are not enough to keep people interested. Everyone has seen her naked now there is nothing to wonder about."
Kanye and Bianca were previously spotted on September 20.
Before Kanye and Bianca stepped out on October 8, it had been weeks since they were photographed together. The couple was last seen on September 20 at a Tokyo supermarket with Kanye's children. Photos obtained by the Daily Mail showed Bianca wearing a sheer nude tank top with no bra and matching leggings while walking around the store with Saint, 8, and Psalm, 5.
Why did they reportedly split? Are they still breaking up?
The sources did not share details about why Kanye and Bianca reportedly split. The rapper allegedly told people close to him of plans to live in Tokyo and divorce his much younger wife. It's unclear whether their joint public appearance in Japan's capital city changes this, or whether those initial reports were false.
