Kanye West and wife Bianca Censori reportedly wed for ‘religious reasons’ after he vowed to abstain from sex until marriage following his divorce from Kim Kardashian.
After months of mystery surrounding their whirlwind union, an insider dished to Us Weekly that the lovebirds walked down the aisle to ‘be intimate.’
‘Kanye calls her his muse and loves dressing her up,’ the source added, before noting that the Grammy winner, 46, is ‘very much ‘in love’ and ‘inspired’ by his spouse, 28.
Over the weekend, DailyMail.com exclusively revealed that the couple are indeed officially and legally married.
The confusion around their intriguing marriage has finally been explained after the pair wed under a ‘confidential marriage’ license in California, meaning that it was not made public record.
Man and wife: Kanye West and wife Bianca Censori reportedly wed for ‘religious reasons’ after he vowed to abstain from sex until marriage following his divorce from Kim Kardashian
Many had assumed that the musician and Yeezy architect married in a ceremony that was not legally binding, as there was seemingly no evidence of the union, with reports claiming they had a private ceremony in Beverly Hills earlier this year in January without an official marriage license.
However, DailyMail.com confirmed that is not the case, having obtained and reviewed the official document that lists their date of marriage as December 20, 2022 – just one month after he finalized his divorce from Kardashian in November 2022.
Per their marriage license, the happy couple tied the knot in Palo Alto, California, known as Silicon Valley, and DailyMail.com has learned the pair picked a secret location for the special event.
The document was filed under their full names, Bianca Censori, and simply ‘Ye’ for the rapper, who legally changed his name from Kanye Omari West to the mononym in October 2021.
Ye and Bianca were married by California-based officiant James Mayfield.
Mayfield boasts marriage ‘packages’ starting at $385 that do not require a courthouse ceremony. It also states on his website that a confidential marriage license does not require any witnesses to be present.
Interestingly, their marital home is listed as his ranch in Wyoming.
The rapper purchased the sprawling $14m ranch four years ago, but there’s been little to no development on the property since that time.

As early as July 2020, Ye – who has an estimated net worth of $500m – began constructing mystifying domes on the land which appear to remain unfinished and he has not been pictured at the location for many years since purchasing the home.
Explaining why the pair chose a confidential marriage license, a close friend of the couple reveals: ‘Ye has been a megastar for two decades and counting, and his first marriage was to someone who lives almost full time in front of a camera.
‘Bianca and Ye have a totally different vibe. They are very private, very affectionate and totally devoted to each other. I think they both enjoy carving out time that’s just for them.
‘For that reason they’ve been extremely hush-hush about the specifics of their wedding day. I don’t think anyone besides the pair of them know exactly how it went down.
