Kanye West and Bianca Censori branded 'pathetic' by friends over new divorce twist

Kanye West and Bianca Censori's marriage appears to be back on after the latest public display of affection, but those close to the couple have called the stunt 'pathetic'

Kanye West's reported imminent divorce from Bianca Censori took a dramatic twist after the pair were seen hugging.

The couple, who tied the knot in December 2022, were said to be close to separating with the 47-year-old rapper seen enjoying alone time in Tokyo. However, the 29-year-old Australian architect was on hand for a typical loved-up display this week, seemingly pouring cold water over any separation claims.

Footage has emerged of the pair in Tokyo for the first time in weeks and Bianca looked elated to be back with the rapper legally known as Ye. She stood on an escalator holding his head in her hands as he stood behind her.

However, the show of affection has stunned some who are close to the pair. A source told Daily Mail: "Kanye and Bianca were responsible for the news that they were divorcing getting out there because this is what they both told people."

While another source claimed Bianca told pals in Australia they were splitting, she did reportedly hint the pair could reconcile. But one insider wasn't having any of it, blasting the who saga as a publicity stunt.

"They knew that, by doing this, it would create some buzz and make them relevant as he tries to promote his new album," the source continued. "They both know that people are just over them and that her naked outfits are not enough to keep people interested. Everyone has seen her naked now there is nothing to wonder about."

They added that they think the public is fed up of Bianca overexploiting her sexuality with Ye's help and this latest drama was just a way to get them back in the public's interest. They claimed friends were starting to view the situation as "just pathetic".

Sources had recently claimed the pair had split last month. Fans believed they had spotted signs the All Falls Down rapper wasn't quite over his ex-wife, Kim Kardashian. And a source told Mail Online, the SKIMS founder wasn't all that happy about Bianca's outfit choices around Kanye and Kim's four kids. The source said at the time: "Kim instructed Kanye to never let Bianca dress like that around their kids. She is truly surprised that Kanye would let his wife leave the house like that.

"Kanye did the same thing he is doing with Bianca to Kim throughout their marriage. The difference is that when Kanye dressed Kim, he was respected as a person – as an artist. Unfortunately, Kim knows what Bianca is going through – but she feels Bianca should have known what she was getting into."
