Kanye West, Bianca Censori

It turns out that Kanye West and Bianca Censori's so-called wedding was, in fact, a wedding.

For months we've all assumed the ceremony was just for show, taking place this past January without a marriage certificate to legally certify their union, but The Daily Mail claims to have uncovered a document that proves the two are legitimately husband and wife.

According to the publication, the marriage was performed under a "confidential marriage" license, meaning that, while it never became a matter of public record, it is a legally binding relationship that will require a legal divorce in order to separate.

The license lists December 20, 2022, as their formal date of marriage—just a month after his divorce from Kim Kardashian was finalized—and Palo Alto, Calif. as the location. It was filed under Censori's full name and "Ye" for West, who legally changed his name a couple of years ago. The rapper's Wyoming ranch is said to be listed as their residence together.

A source, dubbed as close friend of the couple, explained the decision to keep the document a secret: "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," they noted, claiming he and Censori have "a totally different vibe."

"They are very private, very affectionate and totally devoted to each other," the insider continued. "I think they both enjoy carving out time that's just for them." They added, "I don't think anyone besides the pair of them know exactly how it went down."

While the couple may keep most explicit details about their relationship under wraps, they've been decidedly not private during their recent European escapades, finding themselves banned from a water taxi company in Venice for indecent exposure and rocking a series of sheer, nude outfits throughout Italy.
