Kanye “Ye” West and Bianca Censori’s whirlwind romance has been anything but ordinary, capturing the public’s imagination with its rapid timeline and dramatic twists. From their surprise marriage in December 2022 to a series of headline-grabbing appearances and rumored tensions, the couple’s relationship has unfolded under intense scrutiny. West and Censori are seemingly together in April 2025, but a source says the “tension” between them has never been worse. Here’s what’s going on.

‘Tension’ remains high between Kanye ‘Ye’ West and Bianca Censori, according to a source

Kanye “Ye” West and Bianca Censori continue to make headlines due to the ever-changing status of their relationship. The couple tied the knot in 2022 and have shocked the media with their public behavior. In early 2025, West and Censori made a scene on the Grammy Awards red carpet after Censori dropped her coat to reveal her naked body beneath it. After West’s increasingly concerning posts on X, rumors swirled that Censori left West. West then released his track, “BIANCA,” in April 2025, which described his wife leaving him.

Later that month, West posted a photo of himself and Censori to X, proving they’re back together. They were also spotted having dinner and shopping in Spain. However, not all is well in the relationship. West allegedly won’t allow Censori to take multi-million-dollar deals and establish independence, creating “massive tension.”

A source told The U.S. Sun that West and Censori have been having “crisis talks” while in Spain. “Tension between them has been at an all-time high,” an insider alleged. “She wants more freedom. If he doesn’t accept, she’ll leave and move on.”

“She misses doing her own work,” another source said. “She doesn’t want to feel limited. She’s a very creative person and wants to establish herself as a powerful, independent woman.”

Yet another source claimed Censori feels “stuck in a cage” with West. “Bianca is very smart and misses her independence,” they said. “Hopefully, this marks a new chapter for her.”

Kanye “Ye” West’s wife, Bianca Censori, has taken the media by storm — and she knows it. Another source previously told The U.S. Sun that Censori feels “very frustrated” that she’s not living up to her full potential.

“She knows she could make tons of money,” the source alleged. “She wants to explore opportunities as a model, brand ambassador, and a talented individual — not just someone living in the shadow of her husband. But Kanye keeps shutting her down.”

In April 2025, West posted to X about Kim Kardashian wanting Censori to model for her shapewear company, SKIMS.

“They wanted to put my wife in SKIMS,” he wrote, according to Page Six. “Every good piece of good p**** don’t work for you Kris.” West referred to the Kardashian matriarch, Kris Jenner.

Bianca Censori wants a ‘more stable and settled life,’ another source said

Kanye “Ye” West and Bianca Censori are constantly on the move. Photos prove the couple traveled to Europe, Asia, and across the U.S. for West’s endeavors. While Censori likely appreciates many aspects of her marriage, a source previously said she wants a “settled life” with a home base in Los Angeles.

“She’s been pushing for a more stable and settled life,” an insider told In Touch Weekly. “The moving around and the constant changing of plans is driving her up the wall, and she finally put her foot down and demanded they get a home base. L.A. is where she wants to be. She loves it there and has a huge network of friends there; being halfway around the world was very lonely for her.”

The source added that Censori “complained to friends” about constantly moving.
