The interview that Bianca Censori gave to Vanity Fair and that was published on February 6, 2026 once again put the beginning of her relationship with Kanye West under the microscope. In the unpublished conversation, the Australian spoke in detail about how she came to work at Yeezy, the role she played within the brand and the personal context in which her bond with the rapper began.
As you remember, Kanye West and Kim Kardashian began their relationship in 2012 and married in 2014, becoming one of the most influential couples of the 2010s. During almost eight years of marriage, they had four children—North, Saint, Chicago and Psalm—and built a public image around fashion, music, business and reality television.However, the relationship began to crack over time.
As Billboard recalled, Kim Kardashian filed for divorce in February 2021, after almost seven years of marriage.The separation, which was formalized in 2022, included public conflicts, exchanges of words on social networks and tensions around shared parenting.
But in 2020, just a year before the link was broken, Bianca Censori appeared on the scene, a young architect who was finishing her university thesis and who did not yet have notoriety outside the creative field.
According to what Ye’s current partner told Vanity Fair, she had been working four years ago in a “normal” architecture studio, but that experience led her to discover the more routine and bureaucratic side of her profession.I was a little disappointed.
While finishing her thesis, Yeezy’s general manager contacted her after Kanye West saw an image Censori had posted on Instagram.”It wasn’t a nude selfie. It was a digital mask with alien proportions,” the magazine described.
After sending her portfolio, Bianca traveled to Switzerland and met with the rapper in the middle of the pandemic.Shortly after, West offered her a position as Yeezy’s head of architecture in Los Angeles.
In the brand, Censori joined a creative environment dominated by experimentation.He worked on projects that never came to fruition, such as more developed versions of the mound structures Kanye had built on his Calabasas property with the idea of revolutionizing sustainable housing.
Vanity Fair points out that he also participated in the controversial “renovation” of the Malibu house designed by Tadao Ando, an intervention that was widely criticized in the world of architecture and which ended with the sale of the property at a loss.
According to the conversation with Censori, their work relationship began to become romantic “in the same period” in which Kim Kardashian asked West for a divorce.
The architect attributed this process to a specific factor: daily closeness at work.”Proximity,” he explained when asked how the relationship came about. “Just working together. You’re spending so much time with someone,” he said.In that context, he recalled that they were “talking on the phone or together all the time.”
“You should see it,” he said of the connection between the two.“Somos muy similares”,afirmó a la revista.
After the divorce was finalized, the relationship moved forward quickly.Kanye West and Bianca Censori married in December 2022, just a month after the rapper and Kardashian reached a final agreement on their separation.
“I didn’t marry my husband because I wanted some kind of platform,” she said in the interview.”I married him because I love him. Is that the cheesiest thing in the world?” she commented.
