After months of mystery surrounding their tumultuous union, Kanye West and Bianca Censori are actually officially and legally married, can exclusively reveal.
The confusion surrounding their intriguing marriage was finally cleared up after the couple got married in California under a “confidential marriage license,” meaning it was not announced publicly.
Many had assumed that the 46-year-old rapper and the 28-year-old Yeezy architect had married in a ceremony that was not legally binding as there appeared to be no evidence of the marriage. They had reportedly held a private ceremony in Beverly Hills earlier this year in January without an official marriage license.
However, can now confirm that this is not the case after receiving and reviewing the official document which lists the date of their marriage as December 20, 2022 – just a month after he filed for divorce in November 2022 his first wife Kim Kardashian.
According to their marriage certificate, the happy couple tied the knot in Palo Alto, California, known as Silicon Valley, and has learned that the couple chose a secret location for the special event.
The document was filed under her full name, Bianca Censori, and simply “Ye” for the rapper, who legally changed his name from Kanye Omari West to the mononym in October 2021.

Ye and Bianca were married by public official James Mayfield and, interestingly, their marital home is listed as his ranch in Wyoming.
The rapper purchased the sprawling $14 million ranch four years ago, but there has been little to no development on the property since then.
A close friend of the couple explains why the couple decided to have a confidential marriage certificate: “Ye has been a megastar for more than two decades, and his first marriage was to someone who is in front of the camera almost full-time.”
“Bianca and Ye have a completely different vibe.” They are very private, very loving and completely devoted to each other. I think they both enjoy taking time that is just for them.
“For this reason, they were extremely secretive about the details of their wedding day. I don’t think anyone knows exactly how it turned out other than the two of them.

One in five marriages in California are now officially classified as “confidential” and do not appear in public records, but they are a legally binding marriage that would require a divorce if the marriage were to end.
It’s still unclear exactly how long the couple had been romantically involved before the wedding, but Bianca joined Kanye’s Yeezy company in November 2020.
A year before his six-year marriage to Kim Kardashian ended, the father of four hired Bianca as an architectural designer for his company Yeezy.
After almost seven years of marriage, Kim filed for divorce from her former spouse in February 2021 with the help of “Disso Queen” Laura Wasser.

Ye then moved on to Bianca, even paying tribute to her by releasing the track “Censori Overload,” a play on her last name.
We now know that the couple was already married at this point in their relationship.
In the song’s lyrics, Ye revealed that he remained celibate before getting married, singing, “And the Bible said, ‘I can’t have sex anymore until I get married.’
The song appeared to reference his breakup with Kim and began with the lines: “Waking up to ‘I can’t do this anymore’ lyrics” and added: “I know it’s in the headlines / Why she wants to leave.” “
Ye and his wife Bianca then went public with their romance in January, with his new bride catching the world’s attention in a series of very revealing outfits.
