Despite rumblings from the rumor mill, Ye and Bianca Censori are still going strong.
A representative for the controversial couple recently shut down speculation that the rapper, formerly known as Kanye West, and his wife are in the early stages of a divorce.
“Ye and Bianca are in Los Angeles, about to enjoy Valentine’s Day together,” rep Milo Yiannopoulos confirmed to USA TODAY in an emailed statement Thursday.
“Announcements about their private life will come from them directly, not unsourced rumor in the tabloid press,” Yiannopoulos continued. “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.”
The Hollywood Reporter was first to report the news.

Ye and Bianca Censori at the Grammys:Couple surprises on red carpet with nude dress
Yiannopoulos’ statement on the couple’s relationship status comes after media outlets reported earlier Thursday that Ye and Censori had broken up and were planning on filing for divorce “in the coming days,” according to the Daily Mail and TMZ.
The couple held a marriage ceremony less than two months after Ye reportedly finalized his divorce from reality television star Kim Kardashian in November 2022, TMZ reported in January 2023. A judge declared Ye and Kardashian legally single in March 2022 at Kardashian’s request after the Skims co-founder filed for divorce in February 2021.
Earlier this month, Ye and Censori sparked controversy with their appearance at the 67th annual Grammy Awards.
The 24-time Grammy-winning rapper hit the red carpet donning a black shirt and pants, sunglasses and a chain. Meanwhile, Censori wore a black fur coat that she removed to pose in a nearly nude, see-through dress as photographers captured the couple’s appearance.
Degrading or empowering?Why people can’t stop talking about Bianca Censori’s naked dress.
The internet erupted into discourse about the moment, with some brushing it off as classic Kanye antics and others outraged at the display. Ye defended the provocative look in a since-deleted post on X last week, writing, “Anyone who called my wife’s Grammy look a stunt is dumb and laaaame.”
