SANTA MONICA, CALIFORNIA: Kanye West and his partner Bianca Censori were spotted enjoying a romantic lunch at The Lobster restaurant in Santa Monica. The couple displayed their affection for each other throughout the outing. Kanye, who recently faced criticism for his controversial birthday party where sushi was served on nude women's bodies, showered Bianca with kisses. At one point, Bianca lovingly leaned toward him while they stood together.
Kanye opted for a casual ensemble, donning an oversized black t-shirt, gray sweatpants, and black sock shoes that have become his signature look lately. On the other hand, Bianca exuded elegance, wearing a halter top with a unique mannequin-torso design tied at the back. She paired it with gray stockings and sparkling silver heels. Completing his outfit, Kanye sported a black fanny pack around his waist, while Bianca adorned herself with a few gold accessories and styled her bleached blonde hair in a pixie cut.
Controversial birthday party
After their meal, Kanye bid farewell to the valet and drove away in a yellow Isuzu. It was noted that Bianca had accompanied him to his controversial birthday party, which drew significant backlash online. The event featured sushi and sashimi served on the bodies of naked women, a practice known as nyotaimori in Japan. Despite the uproar, Bianca stood by Kanye's side, holding hands with his daughter North West at the surprise party in Los Angeles.
Bianca looked chic in a long black coat and black boots, while North opted for a more casual look with a sweatshirt, bike shorts, and boots from her father's shoe line. Inside the dimly lit venue illuminated by candles, Kanye lip-synced to his own song 'Off The Grid' while his daughter filmed him and Bianca watched. Notably, the event did not feature any members of Kanye's ex-wife Kim Kardashian's family.
A new beginning
Reports suggest that Kanye and Bianca's relationship was officially sealed in January, although the legal status of their union remains uncertain. Some sources claim they did not apply for a marriage certificate, although Bianca recently confirmed their marriage in an interaction with a fan. The timeline of their romance is also unclear, but Bianca has been working for Kanye's Yeezy brand since November 2020.
She holds the position of Head of Architecture and reportedly obtained a Master's in Building Design from Melbourne University in Australia. Kanye's divorce from Kim was finalized in November 2022, marking the end of their six-year marriage and raising four children together.
