Kanye West and Bianca Censori are allegedly heading for divorce just 11 days after her naked stunt on the Grammys red carpet.
It’s thought that they have verbally agreed that she will get a payment of $5 million following the short marriage, which began in December 2022.
A source close to the rapper, 47, confirmed that the couple have now broken up and that they expect a legal filing to end the marriage in the coming days.
Censori, 30, is understood to be staying at their $35 million house in Beverly Park North, Los Angeles for now.
It’s not known where West is but some believe he may even head back in the coming days to Tokyo, Japan, where he spent much of last year living in a hotel.
She appeared plainly unhappy on the red carpet on February 2 when West instructed her to drop her fur coat and ‘make a scene’ but she went along with his instructions.

Friends of West insisted that the stunt was his idea of ‘art’ and also intended to replicate the cover of his album Vultures 2.
MailOnline has contacted West and Censori’s representatives for comment.
The following day he wrote on X: ‘My wife’s first red carpet opened a whole new world. I keep staring at this photo like I was staring in admiration that night Thinking wow I am so lucky to have a wife that is so smart talented brave and hot.’
He went on: ‘She took a break from shooting her first film to make a movie in real life We Tailored that invisible dress 6 times And just like magic poof we disappeared.’
In the days following the Grammys, West went on an anti-Semitic rant on Twitter, saying that he was a Nazi and loved Hitler.
He also took an advertising slot at the Super Bowl for his clothing line, which was reduced to just one item, a $20 t-shirt carrying the Nazi swastika. The site was closed down by Shopify within 24 hours.
He was also banned from X, formerly Twitter, but returned to the site on Thursday having deleted much of his offensive comment. He said that his rants had been a ‘social experiment.’
He stated: ‘So funny how N****** rapping about killing N****** is not hate but posting a swastika is hate.’
His actions have prompted outrage in Hollywood, with Australian actress Isla Fisher and Friends icon David Schwimmer being among those to publicly condemn him.
In an interview earlier this month. West said that he had been ‘misdiagnosed’ as bipolar and instead was autistic. He added that he believed that he was a former Emperor of Japan – as did Censori.
West was previously married to reality TV star and underwear mogul Kim Kardashian and they have four children North, Saint, Chicago and Psalm.

Last week, Censori shocked the world when she attended the Grammys naked under a sheer dress. West then insisted on X he would never force her to wear anything
He carried on his rant in the early hours as he insisted Censori’s look wasn’t a ‘stunt’
Last week, Censori shocked the world when she attended the Grammys completely naked under a sheer dress, exposing her breasts and genitals.
The stunt made global headlines and many of West’s followers were quick to accuse the rapper of being ‘abusive’ and ‘controlling’ while using his wife’s body ‘as clout’.
Addressing the backlash amid a vile anti-Semitic, sexist and homophobic rant, West claimed that he has ‘dominion’ over Censori but insisted he would never force her to wear anything she didn’t feel comfortable in.
He tweeted: ‘I HAVE DOMINION OVER MY WIFE THIS AINT NO WOKE AS FEMINIST S**T SHES WITH A BILLIONAIRE WHY WOULD SHE LISTEN TO ANY OF YOU DUMB A** BROKE B*****S.
‘PEOPLE SAY THE RED CARPET LOOK WAS HER DECISION YES I DONT MAKE HER DO NOTHING SHE DOESNT WANT TO BUT SHE DEFINITELY WOULDNT HAVE BEEN ABLE TO DO IT WITHOUT MY APPROVAL YOU STUPID A** WOKE PAWNS.
‘I HAVE NO RESPECT OR EMPATHY FOR ANY ONE LIVING CAUSE NO ONE LIVING CAN F**K WITH ME BUT I DO LOVE SOME PEOPLE AND I GIVE THEM FAVOR. [sic]’
He carried on his rant in the early hours, penning: Anyone who called my wife’s Grammy look a stunt is dumb and laaaame yes youuuu.
‘She been dressing naked for 2 years. Now all of a sudden it’s a stunt. Every single b***h on the planet wish they had her bravery body platform and access to money and a husband that supported they personal expression.
‘There are a lot of things that had to converge for this moment to happen.’
He later branded the sheer dress the ‘best Grammys outfit of all time’.
Since West married Censori in 2022 fans have expressed concern over her wellbeing, with the Australian architect continuously seen parading around in various states of undress.

During the Grammy Awards, Censori stepped onto the carpet clad in a furry black coat before theatrically dropping the garment and flashing her bare bottom to photographers.
She turned around to show off her topless chest and lack of underwear while West – nominated in the Best Rap Song category – leered at her nude body during the incident of indecent exposure.
West, who was fully clothed, was seen issuing commands to Censori.
Lip reader, Nicola Hickling went on to state that West said: ‘You’re making a scene now.’
She nodded her head and he told her: ‘Make a scene, I’ll say it’ll make so much sense.’ He added: ‘Drop it behind you and then turn, I got you.’ She then told him: ‘Alright, let’s go.’
In September, West and Censori were said to have split, but later confirmed they were still together in a move branded a ‘stunt’.
Insiders suggested that the stunt was concocted in a desperate bid to distract from claims that West drugged and raped his former assistant Lauren Pisciotta at a party with Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs, who is currently awaiting trial behind bars for allegations of sex trafficking and racketeering among others, all of which he denies.
‘Kanye is concerned that his new lawsuit will drag him down to Diddy’s level and he has been speaking to his legal reps,’ the insider told DailyMail.com.
‘He is paying attention to what is going on with Diddy and some believe that the publicity stunt was a way of overshadowing the details of the harrowing lawsuit.’
Influencer and former OnlyFans star Pisciotta sued West in June for allegedly sexually harassing and stalking her while she worked for him between 2021 and 2022.
He dismissed the accusations as ‘baseless’ and accused her of ‘blackmail and extortion.’

West and Censori met when he hired her as an architectural designer at Yeezy, a year before the end of his six-year marriage to Kardashian.
One of her former friends alleged in an interview on an Australian radio show that the 24-time Grammy winner ‘slid into her DMs.’
After reportedly finding ‘her on Instagram,’ the friend claimed West asked her to ‘come and work’ for him. She proceeded to drop out of school to get a jumpstart on her career.
The friend stated that Censori was ‘not a huge fan’ of his music.
In 2022, West paid tribute to his new wife by releasing the track, Censori Overload, a play on her last name.
In the lyrics he revealed that he stayed celibate before tying the knot, singing: ‘And The Bible said, I can’t have any more sex ’til marriage.’
The song appears to reference his split from Kardashian, opening with the lines: ‘Waking up to ‘I can’t do this anymore’ text’, adding ‘I know it’s ’cause the headlines / Why she wanna leave.’
At this time, West and Censori were photographed multiple times on lunch dates and holding hands. One date included an outing to the Waldorf Astoria Beverly Hills, where he was staying, at the time.

One week after his divorce was finalised, West and Censori had a private ceremony, where they exchanged vows and rings to symbolize their ‘commitment together.’
At the time, a source told US Weekly: ‘Kanye and Bianca did have a small marriage ceremony, friends don’t know if it’s legal, but it’s very real to them.’
Within two weeks, she was spotted meeting his eldest daughter, North, at Nobu and later that month, the duo honeymooned at a five-star luxury resort in Utah.
The romantic honeymoon took place at the Amangiri, an upscale resort with 34 suites with one four-bedroom Mesa home, located on 600 acres in Utah’s Grand Circle of National Parks and Monuments.
They enjoyed a 25,000 square foot Aman Spa for treatments based on healing philosophies of the Navajo.
Room rates at the five-star resort range from $3,300 up to $6,400; prices for the Mesa home, which is a 5,853 square feet freestanding villa, was not available. The average per night rate for a suite at Amangiri is $5,000.
The performer rang in his 46th birthday with Censori and North, and went on to move into a $20,000-a-month apartment in West Hollywood, according to the US Sun.
According to Us Weekly, in June, ‘things couldn’t’ have been ‘better’ for the couple.
‘Kanye feels like he finally met someone who truly gets him and loves him for the person he is,’ the insider added.
The source continued: ‘Bianca complements Kanye on so many levels and he loves that they can work and collaborate together on projects.’
Additionally, he reportedly ‘appreciates and respects her opinions.’
‘She really keeps him grounded and he’s feeling better than ever,’ the insider concluded.

In February 2021, West’s first wife Kardashian filed for divorce after almost seven years of marriage.
The reality TV star filed documents through her lawyer Laura Wasser, but the date of separation was not listed.
At the time, People reported that Kardashian was already ‘ready to move on’ from the divorce drama and a source said that Kim and Kanye’s marriage ‘has been broken for a long time.’
They said: ‘Kim feels like she has done everything she can to save it. Filing for divorce is something she has been thinking about for a long time. She has also been dreading it. She really, really has done everything to avoid filing.
‘Last year, she hoped they could somehow work things out, In the past few weeks though, it has been clear that they are done. Although, there is still love, they are just too different and have different visions for the future.’
Kardashian and West started dating in 2012, became engaged in 2013 and wed in May 2014 in Italy after they had already welcomed their eldest daughter North.
She appeared to reference their split in the latest episode of The Kardashians during a conversation with her sister Khloe about how drug addiction destroyed her marriage to Lamar Odom.
Kim responded: ‘That’s the hardest part. I’ve been there, when you don’t foresee something happening that really changes a person’s personality.
‘And then they’re not the same person and you can’t ever get that person back, but you can’t live with the new person, you know, like, I get it.’
She added in confession, ‘It’s tougher when you don’t want your marriage to end off of like your personal reasons, but circumstances change that force your marriage to end.’
