Bianca Censori v Kanye West: What We Can Learn About High-Profile Divorce

Holler, we want prenup! We want prenup!

Rumors are swirling about the potential divorce of rapper Kanye West and model/architect Bianca Censori less than two weeks after their headline-grabbing appearance at the 2025 Grammy Awards. Reports from TMZ and The Daily Mail claim that the couple has split and that "both sides have reached out to divorce attorneys."

If true, this would mark another high-profile divorce for West, who finalized his divorce from Kim Kardashian in 2022 before quickly moving on to Censori. While the details of their potential divorce settlement remain unclear, this situation brings up important legal considerations for celebrity divorces—and for high-net-worth individuals in general.

I will preface this post with a statement that I WAS once a fan of Kanye West but as a Jewish attorney, I find his conduct to be disgusting, hateful and promoting violence against peaceful people, and I don’t support his new music, projects, branding or anything he endorses.

Legal Issues in High-Profile Celebrity Divorces

Whether it's Kanye West and Bianca Censori, Kim Kardashian and Kanye West, or Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie, celebrity divorces are often messy, expensive, and highly publicized. However, legal lessons can be applied to any divorce—whether you're a high-net-worth individual or simply looking to protect your future.

Reports suggest that Kanye and Bianca had a wedding ceremony but never obtained a marriage certificate. If this is true, their split may not require a legal divorce at all—because under U.S. law, a marriage must be legally recognized to require divorce proceedings.

Bianca may not be entitled to spousal support or asset division under marital laws if their union was not legally binding. Instead, any financial disputes may fall under contract law, depending on agreements made between the parties.

Always ensure that your marriage is legally recognized—and consider a prenuptial agreement to protect your assets in case of divorce.

Prenuptial & Postnuptial Agreements in High-Net-Worth Marriages

West's previous divorce settlement with Kim Kardashian reportedly included a prenuptial agreement, which likely simplified asset division. Given West’s $400+ million net worth, he may have used a similar approach with Censori—if they were legally married at all.

A prenuptial agreement (prenup) allows a couple to:

✅ Define asset division before marriage.
✅ Protect business interests (like West’s Yeezy brand).
✅ Clarify spousal support agreements in case of divorce.

Without a prenup, dividing assets becomes much more complicated, particularly for public figures whose income fluctuates.

Even if you’re not a celebrity, a prenup or postnuptial agreement can help protect your financial future in marriage.

The Impact of Public Image on Divorce Settlements

Kanye West’s recent controversies, including his antisemitic comments and erratic public behavior, may have influenced the reported breakdown of his relationship with Censori.

In divorce cases, a spouse’s behavior—especially in high-profile situations—can affect:

🔹 Custody decisions (if children are involved).
🔹 Reputation and future career opportunities.
🔹 Spousal support negotiations, if one spouse argues that the other’s behavior led to financial or emotional harm.

While Kanye and Bianca don’t have children together, his public controversies could still impact financial negotiations if they are legally married.

Your public image and personal behavior can have long-term legal and financial consequences in divorce cases.

What Happens Next?

As of now, the Kanye West and Bianca Censori divorce rumors remain unconfirmed, but if their marriage was legal, it’s possible that:

🔹 Divorce attorneys will negotiate a private settlement.
🔹 Censori could receive financial compensation, depending on what was agreed upon.
🔹 Legal disputes may arise over shared assets (if any exist).

While most people don’t have to deal with celebrity-level divorces, navigating a separation can be just as complex for anyone involved in a marriage—especially when money, assets, and reputation are at stake.
