After months of mystery surrounding their whirlwind union, Kanye West and Bianca Censori are indeed officially and legally married, DailyMail.com can exclusively reveal.

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.

Many had assumed that the 46-year-old rapper and Yeezy architect, 28, 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 can now confirm 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 his first wife Kim 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.

The close friend adds: ‘They are besotted with each other. I can assure you they are very much married.’

One in five marriages in California are now officially classified as ‘confidential’ and do not appear in public records, but it is a legally binding marriage that would require a divorce if the union were to end.

It’s still unclear exactly how long the pair had been romantic with one another leading up to the marriage, but Bianca joined Kanye’s Yeezy company in November 2020.

A year before the end of his six-year marriage to Kim Kardashian, the father-of-four hired Bianca as an architectural designer at his company Yeezy.

Kim had filed for divorce from her former spouse after almost seven years of marriage in February 2021 with the help of ‘disso queen’ Laura Wasser.

Ye then moved on with Bianca, even paying tribute to her by releasing the track, Censori Overload, a play on her last name.

At this point in their relationship, we now know the couple were already married.

In the lyrics Ye revealed that he stayed celibate before tying the knot, singing: ‘And The Bible said, I can’t have any more sex ’til marriage.’

The song appeared to reference his split from Kim, opening with the lines: ‘Waking up to ‘I can’t do this anymore’ text’, adding ‘I know it’s ’cause the headlines / Why she wanna leave.’

Ye and his wife Bianca then went public with their romance in January, with his new bride catching the world’s attention in a number of very revealing outfits.

This summer, the couple have been causing a frenzy on their European vacation, stirring up controversy with Bianca’s nude-themed clothes, particularly in Italy.

The loved-up pair received backlash with a very amorous boat ride in August – with the couple caught in flagrante.

They were both accused of public indecency by Italian authorities on August 28, after Ye was snapped with his pants down and with his Australian bride nuzzled between his legs, during a water taxi ride on the city’s famous canals.

Following the shocking sighting, the two promptly were slammed for engaging in an apparent lewd act in front of dozens of gawking tourists.
