Kanye West (Ye) and Bianca Censori’s quick romance has turned dramatic, sources claim, as rumors of divorce circulate around the couple. The biggest shocker? Apparently, the couple did not have a prenup signed when they got married back in December 2022. Now, as the financial and legal implications of marriage are questioned, sources say both Ye and Bianca have consulted with divorce attorneys. But if there wasn’t a signed prenup, what does this signify regarding their property, loans, and reputation?
Sources indicate Bianca did marry Kanye in California, a community property state where property, whether brought by one spouse or both, shall be community property, unless there is an express stipulation. Because Kanye has an alleged $400 million (according to Forbes) worth, this could lead Bianca to get an enormous payday. But TMZ reports Ye has lost money since tying the knot with Bianca, so it has questioned whether Bianca actually owes money to Kanye under community property law.
The financial stakes are huge. Bianca, an architectural designer and one of Kanye West’s creative team, has an estimated net worth of $1 million. If the couple does split, legal experts say negotiations are likely to involve the division of property, non-disclosure agreements, and potential monetary compensation. Rumour has it Bianca could receive $5 million, but this has not been substantiated.
Despite the rumors, their spokesperson, Milo Yiannopoulos, shot down any rumors of an upcoming split, confirming that the couple did spend Valentine’s Day together in Los Angeles. However, recent social media posts by Kanye further fueled rumors.
In a now-deleted Instagram post, Kanye had spoken of “coercion” – one word that has sparked debate over the terms of his marriage to Bianca. Just days back, he had found himself in the limelight over some controversial statements, one being that he has “dominion” over his wife, eliminating any “woke feminist” values. These statements have invited severe backlash, many questioning whether Bianca has an unhealthy controlling marriage.
The controversy further snowballed when Bianca gave an outlandish performance during the 2025 Grammy Awards, arriving almost nude. Many people suspected that Bianca was being influenced by Kanye, as she continued giving risque performances. The strained body language by the couple while attending the show further fueled the rumors, as eyewitnesses had witnessed them fighting beforehand while stepping out onto the red carpet.
Reports from TMZ and The Daily Mail indicate both Kanye and Bianca have met with divorce attorneys. Insiders close to the couple confirm Bianca has plans to file soon. But owing to conflicting reports and denials by them, it does not seem if actually going through it.
Adding another twist to the gossip, the two have had most of last year living together in Tokyo, it seems, away from Ye’s ongoing legal troubles back home. Their distance has fueled further rumors over the couple’s affair.
Kanye’s fortune has also seen rigorous scrutiny, particularly due to controversial statements and resultant financial losses. His worth decreased by missing out on costly brand partnerships, including the Adidas deal. Forbes has valued him at $400 million, whereas Kanye has indicated it is well over that.
If the couple does break apart, property allocation could also be an issue. Bianca’s lawyers, it has been observed, could claim financial compensation for work she has put into building Kanye’s empire, work she has accomplished specifically with Yeezy. The scenario reminds one of other well-known divorces, whereby prenups, or lack thereof, played a crucial factor in financial resolutions. Kanye’s recent marriage break-up from Kim Kardashian was easy enough, due to a prenup, wherein both had shielded personal property. But cases, as experienced by Paul McCartney and Heather Mills, or Jeff Bezos and MacKenzie Scott, witnessed lack of satisfactory agreements lead to huge settlements.
