Inside Bianca Censori’s first romance with her high school sweetheart and why he may STILL be a shoulder to cry on as her friends plan to stage an ‘intervention’ about ‘controlling’ rapper
EXCLUSIVE
Before Bianca Censori found fame and controversy by ‘marrying’ Kanye West, she was in a healthy and loving relationship with a Melbourne businessman – and they still keep in touch.
Nick Forgiane, 28, who owns a café and a factory in the city, was Bianca Censori’s first love. The pair first met in 2007 in Ivanhoe when they were just 14.
Friends say Censori, also 28, was always extremely popular with the boys, but the pair did not become romantically linked until 2014, when they were 21. They stayed together for six years.
In a previous interview with Nova FM’s Fitzy & Wippa, Forgaine said that while Bianca was “not a fan” of Kanye, he did have “hilarious” videos of her dancing to “I Love It,” Kanye’s 2018 collaboration with Lil Pump.

Last month, the Ny Breaking was told that Kanye had ordered his wife to ‘never talk’ – and issued a series of rules for her to follow, including specific foods she can eat and what she can wear.
“Bianca has always been bigger than Melbourne and we both knew that,” he said of their split. “We traveled to America once and she told me she would live there one day.”
However, they have remained “supportive” of each other, Forgiane said, and it could very well be he who she turns to for support on her journey Down Under, with friends and loved ones telling Ny Breaking they are confident they is aware of West’s “controlling ways” after being told to “wake up.”
Ny Breaking Australia revealed Censori snuck back to Australia last week to see her parents Leo and Alexandra and sister Angeline.
She was spotted enjoying a night out at Melbourne pub The Marquis of Lorne, in Fitzroy, on Friday evening.
One patron said that Ms. Censori went largely unnoticed in the bar, and that the architectural designer would most likely have enjoyed the anonymity after her highly publicized antics since marrying the The 46-year-old West almost a year ago.
Forgaine previously said it was not Bianca’s move abroad that led to the couple’s split.
“The girl is extremely talented and took the plunge to pursue her dream of becoming a famous architect, which she achieved,” he said.

‘Of course I support them. If Bianca is happy (with Kanye), I’m happy for her.
‘She has always supported my relationships. I wish them the best and hope it is a modern love story.”
Photos shared with her ex-boyfriend, Forgiane Instagram page shows photos of the then-in-love couple during their six-year relationship.
The couple can be seen posing for the camera while vacationing in New York City Times Square in New York in 2015 – a year into their relationship.
Other photos show the couple dressed in black and white for Melbourne Spring Racing Carnival Oaks Day in 2017 and 2018.
In 2019, the couple was photographed at celebrity hotspot Raes on Wategos, a boutique hotel in Byron Bay.
Forgiane’s social media page also features photos from the Rainbow Serpent festival, with Censori photographed with her feet on her face and posing for group photos.
In January, a series of photos obtained by Ny Breaking Australia showed young Bianca at the Rainbow Serpent music and arts festival in the state’s west wearing tassels on her nipples.

Bianca, who has worked for Yeezy since November 2020, ‘married’ the rapper two months after his divorce from 42-year-old Kim was finalized in November.
The couple reportedly celebrated their wedding in a private ceremony and both wore wedding rings.
The informal marriage was apparently not followed by the filing of a marriage certificate.
The former Carey Baptist Grammar School student made headlines for her bizarre fashion choices while in Europe with West earlier this year. She was seen leaving their hotel in Florence wearing a flesh-colored bra while bizarrely clutching a lone purple pillow over her chest.
She paired her look with beige heels and flesh-colored leggings, making her appear completely nude from afar.
