A big part of Bianca Censori's mystique is her silence. The wife of Ye West has become one of the most prominent figures in the entertainment world, intriguing the world due to her outrageous outfits and relationship with one of the most controversial celebrities in the world. Following the release of her awaited art project, Censori is addressing the public for the first time, speaking with a major outlet and opening up about her past, her marriage, and art.

“I didn’t marry my husband because I wanted some sort of platform,” said Censori. “I married him because I love him. Is that like the corniest thing ever?”
She also discussed the challenges of dating someone very famous, calling herself a "nepo wife." "I’m famous by association. But your image is replicated without your consent all the time. It’s replicated, it’s brought down, it’s picked apart, all those kind of things," she said.

“Me and my husband would work on my outfits together,” she continued “So it was like a collaboration, it was never ‘I was being told to do something.’... If you were married to Gianni Versace, wouldn’t he give you a dress or something?”
Ye and Bianca's relationship
© @biancacensoriWest and Censori began dating in 2022, after his divorce from Kim Kardashian. The pair have experienced all sorts of commentary about their relationship, with many claiming that there were ups and downs in their relationship connected to Ye's mental health.
“The public wasn’t at the forefront of my concerns at that time,” said Censori when addressing some of West's most controversial moments, including many antisemitic statements. “I wasn’t thinking about the PR cleanup. I was really focused on him and myself. And in the back of my mind, I was like, Okay, eventually we’re going to have this conversation. I would have the opportunity to tell you that I’m not antisemitic," she said.
Of West's regret over his comments and apology to the public, she said, “You know, he has to go through his process in how he amends that, and I’m here to support and love and be with him. I love him so much. We’re like the same person.”

Earlier this year, West took out a page of the Wall Street Journal, apologizing to the Jewish community and any others he's hurt.
“One of the difficult aspects of having bipolar type-1 are the disconnected moments – many of which I still cannot recall – that led to poor judgment and reckless behavior that oftentimes feels like an out-of-body-experience,” reads part of his apology.
