Ye and Kardashian were married for seven years, during which he was diagnosed with bipolar disorder.
June 2023: Style evolution
From June onwards, Censori began receiving attention for her seemingly sudden change in style. Tabloids were quick to point out her initial resemblance to Yeβs ex-wife; however, she quickly began appearing solely in monochromatic, and often nude, sheer clothing. In fact, the βnude tights and no pantsβ look became something of a trademark.
It was largely assumed this wardrobe change was orchestrated by Ye, a man known for asserting control over his previous partnersβ clothing. His ex-girlfriend Amber Rose has spoken in interviews of Yeβs commitment to picking her outfits, and both his ex-wife Kardashian and ex-girlfriend Julia Fox have claimed he replaced their entire wardrobes.
November 2023 to October 2024: Interventions, break-ups and reunions
According to the Daily Mail, two of Censoriβs Australian friends held an intervention for her in November 2023 after harbouring concerns about her relationship with Ye.
βShe knows that she has shut out those close to her, and she is also starting to see through the smoky mirrors of her marriage,β an anonymous source told the tabloid. βShe is aware of Kanyeβs controlling ways, and she is starting to see things from an outside perspective.β

The couple were rumoured to have gone on a break shortly after; however, Censori was photographed with Ye and his family in December, suggesting they were still together.
From this point onwards, the pair were rumoured to have broken up multiple times, including once in October 2024, when TMZ reported they had been telling friends they were done. But each time speculation began, Ye and Censori were photographed together appearing very much in love, merely creating further confusion.

February 2025: Grammy madness
Concerns around the relationship reached a fever pitch when Ye and Censori attended the Grammy Awards earlier this month. While Ye was dressed entirely in black, Censori wore an ultra-sheer mini slip dress underneath a large black fur coat, which she shed while walking the carpet.
The stunt sent shock waves online, as people expressed concern over how much agency Censori had over the look, which put her naked body on full display.
More than ever before, people questioned the power dynamics within the relationship, and wondered whether Censori was being coerced into making such provocative statements. The fact that the public has barely heard directly from Censori throughout their two-year marriage simply inflamed the scepticism.
Ye, however, has been highly vocal since the stunt. Writing on X, the rapper said he has βdominionβ over his wife, though he would never force her to wear anything she didnβt want to. His posts were also marked by antisemitic, misogynistic and homophobic remarks. Yeβs X account was deactivated soon after, but is now back online, albeit wiped of content.
February 2025: Fake accounts
Amid Yeβs hateful tirade on social media, a post appeared on a verified X account claiming to belong to Censori. The post seemed to be a cry for help, including phrases like βLord, I lift up my husband to you with love & concernβ, and βGod bless β¦ all the good Jewish ppleβ. However, a representative for Censori told media the account is fake.
Now, a week later, rumours of divorce have resurfaced.
