Kanye West and Bianca Censori break silence on ‘split’ rumours as duo set record straight amid controversy
Kanye West and Bianca Censori have firmly denied rumours of their separation, with their representative confirming the couple will spend Valentine’s Day together in Los Angeles.
The pair’s spokesperson, Milo Yiannopoulos, dismissed reports of an impending divorce as “entirely false” in a statement to The Hollywood Reporter on Thursday.
“Ye and Bianca are in Los Angeles, about to enjoy Valentine’s Day together,” Yiannopoulos said. “Announcements about their private life will come from them directly, not unsourced rumour in the tabloid press.”
The representative expressed frustration at repeated speculation about the couple’s relationship status. “Is this the fifth or is it the sixth time the press has wrongly reported that Ye and Bianca are separating? I’ve lost track,” he added.
West sparked further speculation earlier on Thursday when he briefly shared a cryptic Instagram post about “coercion” shortly after divorce rumours emerged.
The since-deleted post featured a definition stating: “Coercion is the act of forcing someone to do something against their will through threats or intimidation.”
Initial reports from the Daily Mail had claimed the couple were headed for divorce, with sources suggesting they had verbally agreed to a £5 million settlement.
The reports also alleged that Censori would remain at their £35 million Beverly Park North residence in Los Angeles whilst West was considering relocating to Tokyo.
These claims came just days after the couple’s controversial appearance at the Grammy Awards, where Censori’s revealing outfit choice generated significant media attention.
West defended his wife’s Grammy Awards appearance in a series of posts on X, formerly Twitter, before his account was deactivated.
“PEOPLE SAY THE RED CARPET LOOK WAS [Bianca’s] DECISION YES I DONT MAKE HER DO NOTHING SHE DOESNT WANT TO,” West wrote on February 7.
The couple’s representative later clarified the situation regarding Censori’s fashion choices. “There is a person controlling what Bianca Censori wears. The name of that person is Bianca Censori,” Yiannopoulos told The Hollywood Reporter.
He noted that while West serves as the “final boss” in creative decisions, Censori’s own sensibility drives her styling choices.
The controversial Grammy Awards appearance saw Censori drop her fur coat to reveal a sheer minidress underneath, which was reportedly meant to replicate the cover of West’s recent album “Vultures 1.”
The controversies surrounding the couple extend beyond their Grammy Awards appearance, with West’s Yeezy website being shut down by Shopify this week.
The e-commerce platform removed the site after it displayed a single t-shirt featuring a Nazi symbol, citing violations of company policy.
This followed West’s Super Bowl advertisement, which featured the rapper filming himself in a dentist’s chair on an iPhone.
Adding to the tumult, West faces a new lawsuit from a former Yeezy employee alleging discrimination and harassment based on gender and religion.

Despite these ongoing controversies, the couple’s representative maintains they remain united, expressing frustration at repeated separation rumours.
“Announcements about their private life will come from them directly,” Yiannopoulos emphasised, dismissing what he characterised as a pattern of false reporting about the couple’s relationship status.
