Bianca Censori reportedly comes from a family of gangsters as new details of her upbringing emerge following a shocking outfit reveal at the 2025 Grammy Awards. The YEEZY architect and model, 30, has been hitting headlines thanks to her sheer mini dress that revealed all on Sunday night.
She shocked photographers and bystanders when she walked the red carpet in an oversized fur coat before removing it to reveal a nearly non-existent dress. Since marrying the rapper in 2022 following a whirlwind romance, the Australian model has been getting more risqué with her outfits, concerning both her fans and family.
Bianca's parents have reportedly been worried about the model for some time. In early 2024, it was reported that Bianca's father, Leo Censori, wanted to sit down with Kanye for a chat.

Her father, who wanted Kanye to fly to Australia to talk to him, is said to be a former gangster. It has been claimed he did jail time after being convicted in 1982 for possessing a prohibited import (heroin) and was sentenced to five years with a minimum of three years.
He also reportedly has convictions for possession of a pistol and fully jacketed ammunition. But Leo's not the only family member with a criminal history as his brother, Eris, was a notorious gangland killer branded 'Melbourne's Al Capone', as reported by MailOnline.
He was sentenced to death for murder, but the sentence was later changed to life imprisonment. The death sentence was abolished in Western Australia in 1984.
According to the publication, Leo's eldest brother, Edmondo, has convictions in Victoria for assaulting police, violence, theft and threats. Back in 1991, Leo's ex-wife reportedly ratted him out on his illegal gambling empire.
Bianca's family were believed to be upset by her recent fashion choices, with her dad Leo previously accusing Kanye of turning Bianca into a "trashy-looking marketable commodity." Her mother Alexandra has since spoken out about the shocking Grammys moment, seemingly wanting to get away from the spotlight.

When asked by the Daily Mail how she felt about her daughter's viral moment, she said: "We are just normal people, living our own lives as privately as we can. I have nothing to say about Bianca, thank you." She declined to comment further on Bianca or her son-in-law.
It came just days after Bianca's sister showed her support for the dramatic outfit, with the 20-year-old resharing two videos to her Instagram stories of the viral red carpet moment. Angelina added a simple fire emoji under Kanye's since-deleted post.
"Custom Couture Grammy dress for the most beautiful woman ever. My love my best friend my wife," he wrote in the caption. Angelina is an Instagram model and close to her sister, who is 10 years her senior. Bianca also has another sister, Alyssia, who is a nurse and a mother of one.
Bianca grew up in Ivanhoe, a well-heeled Melbourne suburb, and studied for the Victorian Certificate of Education at Kew's prestigious Carey Baptist Grammar School. She mixed mostly with students from Ivanhoe Grammar School, as well as Kew's Methodist Ladies' College, and the Catholic Genazzano FCJ College and Xavier College.
After graduating in 2012 with a VCE that put her near the top of her school, Bianca obtained a Bachelor of Architecture from the University of Melbourne in 2017. This educational background would eventually lead her to meeting her future husband Kanye after she secured a job at Yeezy.
Bianca returned to university to complete a Master of Architecture from 2019 to 2020. She then moved to the US where she started her role at Yeezy in November 2020.
At the time, Kanye was still married to Kim, with whom he shares his four children, North, 11, Saint, eight, Chicago, six, and Psalm, five. The Skims founder filed for divorce from Kanye in 2021, with the pair officially divorcing in 2022.
Shortly after, the singer married Bianca in a secret ceremony. They went public with their relationship in January 2023, with concern rising for the model after Kanye began dressing her in provocative looks.
It was reported the pair were asked to leave the Grammys after turning up uninvited, and escorted out by cops after their "crazy stunt". However another source said they "left of their own accord" and the exact narrative remains unclear.
