Kanye West shocked the world after secretly marrying Bianca Censori in a “private ceremony” in Beverly Hills just two months after finalizing his divorce from Kim Kardashian.
Although their wedding, which took place in January, was not legally binding, the 46-year-old rapper and Yeezy architect, 28, was seen wearing wedding rings for weeks before walking down the aisle.
It’s not clear how long they’ve known each other or how long they’ve been dating, but Bianca joined Kanye’s Yeezy company in November 2020.
She is listed as Head of Architecture and secured the position after completing a master’s degree in building design from the University of Melbourne in Australia. It is unclear if she still works for his clothing company.
Now, eight months after their wedding, DailyMail.com takes a look at their whirlwind romance.

In February 2021, Kardashian filed for divorce from her former husband after nearly seven years of marriage.

The source said Kim and Kanye’s marriage has been “broken up for a long time.”
“Kim feels like she did everything she could to make it. Filing for divorce is something she has been thinking about for a long time. She also saw it. She really did everything she could to avoid reporting.
“Last year she was hoping that somehow they would work it out,” she added. ‘However, in recent weeks it has become clear that they are ready. Although, there is still love, they are just too different and have different visions for the future.’
Kim and Kanye started dating in 2012, got engaged in 2013 and got married in Italy in May 2014 after already welcoming their eldest daughter North.
