Bianca Censori Was 'Pushed to the Limit' and Nearly Ended Marriage to Kanye West
Bianca Censori, the 31-year-old Australian architect married to rapper Kanye West, was reportedly on the verge of divorcing her husband just one year ago after being pushed to the limit by his behavior. According to sources close to the couple, Censori had reached a breaking point and was ready to walk away from their three-year marriage before an act of extreme bravery brought them back from the brink.
The Turbulent Relationship Timeline
Censori and West, 48, first met when she was working for his fashion brand Yeezy and married in 2022 while West was still finalizing his divorce from ex-wife Kim Kardashian. Their relationship quickly generated headlines for multiple reasons:
- Censori's frequent minimal clothing during public outings with West
- West's series of antisemitic remarks and actions that included selling swastika-printed t-shirts and releasing a song called 'Heil Hitler'
- West's self-identification as a 'Nazi' during this period
In recent months, West has expressed profound remorse for his behavior, attributing it to his bipolar disorder and explaining he suffered manic episodes that led him to hit rock bottom.
The Breaking Point and Ultimatum
A close friend of Censori revealed to The Sun that the architect was exhausted and losing hope that things would ever stabilize in her marriage. She reportedly confided to friends that she could no longer cope with West's behavior but issued a final ultimatum that saved their relationship.
This time last year they were headed for divorce, the friend explained. In an act of extreme bravery, Bianca agreed to give her husband one more chance. His self-destructive behavior, his manic mind packed with creative ideas, complicated thoughts and a unique outlook on the world have made it near impossible.
The friend emphasized that Censori felt pushed to the limit and was dealing with her own issues alongside West's problems. It wasn't that she didn't love him, but the joy she once felt was missing from her life.
The Rehabilitation Journey
Censori organized intensive joint counseling sessions and arranged for the couple to fly to The Balance Rehab Clinic, a VIP exclusive wellness center in Majorca, Spain. There they underwent physical and mental health examinations together.
After West agreed to participate, Censori reportedly felt confident in his ability to stand by her needs, and the couple was able to talk through their issues constructively. West experienced what was described as a weight lifted from him and has since taken a stabilizing course correction at a rehabilitation facility in Switzerland.
Family Concerns and Censori's Determination
Despite the progress, family members remain concerned that West could still ruin Censori's life and wreck her career chances. However, Censori has been inspired to make the marriage work by a sense of partnership, pure friendship, and passionate desire.
She is stubborn and intent on standing her ground, the friend noted, adding that Censori is far more mentally strong than people imagine and has lived through some of West's darkest episodes while digging her heels in to make him seek help for his mental health issues.
West's Public Apologies and Health Struggles
In January, West took out a full-page advertisement in The Wall Street Journal to apologize for his past behavior. He later told Vanity Fair about suffering a deep depressive episode following a rock bottom manic episode last year.
Toward the end of my four-month-long manic episode, my medication was changed, West explained. In that shift, the antipsychotic drug took me into a really deep depressive episode. My wife recognized that, and we sought out what's been effective and stabilizing course correction in my regime from a rehab facility in Switzerland.
West emphasized that his apology wasn't about reviving commercial success but came from genuine remorse that had been weighing heavy on his heart and spirit. He acknowledged exhibiting poor judgment and reckless behavior that often felt like an out-of-body experience during his manic episodes.
Confirmation from Other Sources
Music mogul George Daniels, an old friend of West, confirmed to The Sun that Censori was ready to get the hell away from him at one point. Daniels noted that the rapper now appears cleaned up and genuine about addressing his health issues.
The relationship faced another public test in April 2024 when West released a song named after his wife suggesting she had left him after trying to get me committed. While that period appeared to signify the end of their marriage, Censori decided to give it one final chance through the rehabilitation process.
West concluded his public statements by sharing that he is deeply mortified by my actions in that state and is now committed to accountability, treatment, and meaningful change as he and Censori continue working on their marriage.
