Kanye West and his wife Bianca Censori are reportedly heading for a divorce, less than two weeks after her ânudeâ appearance on the red carpet shocked the 2025 Grammys.
The controversial rapper, 47, and the Australian model, 30, have been married since December 2022.
According to DailyMail.com, a source close to West revealed that the couple have broken up and that they expect legal proceedings to end the marriage to begin in the next few days.
The publication also claims that the couple have verbally agreed that Censori will receive a payment of $5 million at the end of the marriage.
TMZ is also reporting that both parties have approached divorce attorneys.
Censori is thought to still be living in the coupleâs $35 million house in Beverly Park North, Los Angeles, but Westâs whereabouts are unknown.

Last week it was reported that Censori will not face legal action over her appearance at the Grammys.
The couple arrived on the red carpet together at the Crypto.com arena in Los Angeles on February 2 dressed in all black.
However, Censori later dropped her black feather coat in front of photographers to reveal a sheer mini-dress.
According to TMZ, LAPD sources confirmed there will be no legal fallout from the incident as the Grammy Awards is a private event and no one from the show contacted police to make a complaint.
In a statement to Page Six, LA-based lawyer Andrea Oguntula further clarified the legal position: âWhile Ms. Censoriâs outfit undoubtedly pushed the envelope, a charge of indecent exposure in California requires willful public exposure of oneâs genitals with the specific intent to offend or sexually arouse.

âItâs theoretically possible but unlikely sheâll face any criminal prosecution for this incident.â
Kim Kardashian, who was married to West for eight years before they divorced in 2021, recently made a rare public comment about her ex-husband.
During the February 13 episode of the Hulu reality series The Kardashians, the 44-year-old Skims founder spoke to her mom Kris Jenner and her younger sister Khloé Kardashian about the latterâs emotional reunion with her ex-husband Lamar Odom.
After listening to her sister reflect on the relationship, Kardashian said she could relate.
âThatâs the hardest part. Iâve been there,â Kim said. âWhen you donât foresee something happening that really changes a personâs personality and then theyâre not the same person and you canât ever get that person back, but you canât live with the new person. I get it.â
West and Kardashian share four children: North, 11, Saint, 9, Chicago, 6, and Psalm, 5. He does not have children with Censori.
