Bianca Censori, the Australian wife of rapper Kanye West, has made a discreet return to her home city of Melbourne, which marks the first time she’s been home since the couple’s secret wedding late last year.

The 28-year-old Yeezy architectural designer’s arrival, notably without her 46-year-old rapper husband, has not only turned heads but also raised alarms within her inner circle.

During her stay, Censori was seen reconnecting with her family, including her parents Leo and Alexandra, and her sister Angeline.

Censori was also spotted – sporting metallic-coloured leather pants and a revealing top – at the trendy Marquis of Lorne bar in Fitzroy on Friday night, where she and her sisters reportedly celebrated into the night.

Censori’s relationship with West has attracted headlines around the world over the past few months - including the couple’s controversial trip to Italy over the summer - friends close to her have reportedly expressed serious concerns about her whirlwind union.

Sources recently spoke to the Daily Mail claiming Censori’s inner circle have staged a dramatic intervention during her trip back home, urging her to “wake the f*** up” to the realities and alleged manipulative nature of her marriage.

This intervention reflects deep-seated worries about West’s influence on Censori, who has reportedly become more isolated from her friends since the couple wed in December 2022.

Initially dismissing their concerns as jealousy over her new-found fame, it appears Censori is now beginning to view her marriage from a different perspective.

Her visit, coinciding with West’s trip to the Middle East with his daughter North West, is said to be a period of personal reflection and reconnection with her roots, with her friends and family reportedly relieved that their concerns are starting to resonate with her.

This comes after reports that West is forcing his new wife to “never speak” and adhere to a strict dress code.

“Kanye has a set of rules for Bianca, which includes never speak and wear what he wants her to wear,” a source told the Daily Mail.

“She is also required to eat certain food items and to work out even though Kanye doesn’t work out.”
