Kanye West forced to issue statement amid reports of divorce from Bianca Censori
Amid reports that he and wife Bianca Censori have called time on their romance, Kanye West's representatives have spoken out.
The split speculation comes just days after the pair sparked global backlash for their appearance at the 2025 Grammy Awards.
The 47-year-old American hit-maker and the 30-year-old Australian model have reportedly been married since December 2022, following West's high-profile split from ex-wife Kim Kardashian.
Last week, the couple found themselves in hot water with millions of viewers of this year's Grammys (2 Feb), after Censori shrugged off a hefty fur coat whilst walking the star-studded red carpet, to reveal a totally sheer mini dress below.

Through the garment, the brunette's breasts, genitalia and derriere were visible - with spectators from all around the world branding the get-up inappropriate. Others, meanwhile, questioned whether the outfit was legal.
Father-of-four West was also accused of 'marketing' his wife by sharing Google search screen-grabs, revealing how highly searched the term 'Bianca censori grammys' was, and how - at some points - it was being searched more than the phrase 'Grammy winners 2025'.
Following the backlash, the Daily Mail last night reported that the duo were heading for divorce.
The news outlet alleged that a source close to West and Censori revealed legal proceedings to end their marriage were underway, and that the pair had verbally agreed that Censori would receive a payment of $5 million once the divorce was finalised.
The same speculation was reported by TMZ, who added that both parties had recently approached divorce attorneys.
As we say, however, West's representatives have now addressed discussions of divorce, insisting they couldn't be happier, and actually have some very special plans for today (14 Feb).
Milo Yiannopolous - the 'Stronger' star's long-time agent - told The Independent in a statement: "Ye and Bianca are in Los Angeles, about to enjoy Valentine’s Day together.
"Announcements about their private life will come from them directly, not unsourced rumor in the tabloid press."
Yiannopolous went on to jibe: "Is this the fifth or is it the sixth time the press has wrongly reported that Ye and Bianca are separating?
"I’ve lost track."
It was revealed last week that West and Censori would not face legal action for their Grammys appearance.
Initially, Kenn California Law Group explained that legal action would depend on whether it could be proven that Censori indecently exposed herself in front of someone who might be offended or annoyed by it.
The firm added that it'd also have to be proven that she intended to direct attention to themselves, with the intention of sexually gratifying themselves or offending someone.
According to TMZ, however, Censori will not be punished for her controversial look.
The LAPD reportedly told the outlet that the Grammys is a private event and that no one contacted the police to complain about her on the night.
