Kanye West and his wife were seen wearing matching white outfits while shopping in Tokyo on October 8. The couple walked hand in hand through the hallway of a shopping mall. While going up the escalator, Bianca, 29, hugged her husband’s cheek and caressed him.

Kanye and his wife, 18 years his junior, made their public appearance a day after reports emerged that their marriage was on the brink of collapse. TMZ reported that the rapper and his wife had split for several weeks and that Kanye had told close friends that he was planning a divorce . The Daily Mail also confirmed the news, citing sources who said the relationship was troubled because Bianca felt increasingly out of step with her husband.

Before their reunion on Tuesday, Kanye West had been alone in Japan for several days while his wife returned to Australia. They were last photographed together on September 20.

According to Dailymail , Kanye and his wife are said to be staging a breakup to gain attention during the promotion of their new album when Bianca’s revealing clothes are no longer of interest. The newspaper wrote that Bianca told her friends in Australia and Kanye also told everyone about their marital status. “She over-exploited her sexy dressing with Kanye’s help and now no one cares. So they created some rumors that they were over, took advantage of that by deleting their social media pages and spending time apart. And then immediately they got back together. Her friends started to think it was pathetic,” the source said.

Kanye West and Bianca Censori married in December 2022, a month after Kanye finalized his divorce from Kim Kardashian. Bianca is an Australian architect who has been working for Kanye’s Yeezy fashion company since 2020. Kanye and Bianca’s relationship was kept secret until the two got married.
