Bianca Censori‘s friends have been left feeling like Kanye West and his wife fed them lies about the state of their marriage, after the duo were pictured together in Japan just hours after split claims went public.
The couple’s relationship appeared to be on the rocks on Monday when multiple reports revealed that the couple had been spending time apart in recent months, with an insider telling DailyMail.com that Bianca had stated that the pair had been ‘drifting’ apart.
However, the rapper, 47, and the Australian beauty, 29, appeared to confirm they were still together as they were pictured packing on the PDA as they reunited in Tokyo on Tuesday.
Now, the architectural designer’s close circle had been left confused by her decision to claim that the couple were on the rocks.
‘Kanye and Bianca were responsible for the news that they were divorcing getting out there because this is what they both told people,’ a source exclusively revealed to DailyMail.com.

Indeed, TMZ reported that the musician had been telling friends he is done with Bianca and wanted to be single while spending time in Japan.
Meanwhile, sources close to the Australian had revealed to DailyMail that she had been sharing the same news to loved ones during her recent visit to her homeland – though the insider did note that ‘there is a chance they’ll reunite’.
The source continued: ‘She told her friends in Australia and he told anyone that was willing to listen.’
Insiders have now stated the pair may have pulled the move for attention as the source added: ‘They knew that, by doing this, it would create some buzz and make them relevant as he tries to promote his new album.
‘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.’
Since being linked to Kanye in 2023, Bianca has become known for her extremely provocative dress sense – despite the rapper previously criticizing his ex-wife Kim Kardashian for being ‘overly sexualized’ with the promotion of her SKIMS brand.
The source continued: ‘She overexploited her sexuality with his help and now no one cares. So they create some rumors that they are done, play into it by wiping socials and spending time apart and bam, they are back in the public interest.
‘Her friends are starting to think that this is just pathetic.’

On Monday morning, TMZ reported that the rapper and his wife have been on the outs for a while and were ‘possibly’ planning to file for divorce.
The Yeezus rapper has been in Tokyo while Bianca had enjoyed some time away in her native Australia to be with her family.
During this time, Bianca had claimed to friends that she could no longer ‘ignore’ her family’s questions about the more troubling parts of their relationship.
‘They broke up some time ago,’ the source told DailyMail.com exclusively. ‘Bianca started to see the relationship in a new light when her friends and family voiced concerns about the way she was dressing in public and Kanye felt that she wasn’t as into him as she was in the beginning.’
The source continued: ‘There are no hard feelings but she couldn’t ignore her family when they asked her to explain the stranger parts of their relationship. They have broken up before so there is a chance they’ll reunite.’
Bianca was pictured with her sisters Alyssia and Angelina, and mother Alexandra, in mid August after they flew in to visit her in Los Angeles.
The controversial couple were reportedly already ‘drifting,’ but everything changed after their visit.
‘She spent some time with her family and was different afterwards,’ the insider continued. ‘Kanye sensed it was coming because they have been drifting apart and people around him sense that he still wants to be with Kim.
‘Bianca definitely has other ambitions and was concerned about turning into [his ex Amber Rose]. She wants to create her own brand.’
Elsewhere, a second insider noted that Bianca still cares for the troubled rapper, adding: ‘She does care deeply for him and loves his kids, but she also knows that he has issues that she could never correct.’
The insider explained that friends believe the Australian beauty will walk away ‘a very rich woman’ as they noted: ‘Her friends believe that she is ready to take him for what he is worth and walk away a very rich woman as they did not sign a prenup.’
The insider added: ‘Bianca morphed into exactly what he wanted her to be. She knew that he fell for her because she was the spitting image of Kim and she felt he was still in love with her.’

Explaining that the future looks bright for the architectural designer, the insider concluded: ‘She is now known worldwide. She is recognized for her attire and will be using this to develop her own brand.’
Kanye has been married to Bianca since December 2022. They wed just one month after his divorce was finalized from Kim.
The rapper shares daughters North, 11, Chicago, six, and sons Saint, eight, and Psalm, five, with the KUWTK alum.
Bianca and Kanye are often unmissable when together – mostly in part because of her racy outfits.
Back in February, a source told DailyMail.com that the SKIMS founder had asked Kanye to have his wife cover up when around their children.
‘Kim instructed Kanye to never let Bianca dress like that around their kids,’ they said. ‘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.’

They added: ‘Unfortunately, Kim knows what Bianca is going through – but she feels Bianca should have known what she was getting into.’
Last month, Kanye announced a new album and debuted a new song during his show at Haikou, China.
The new album – which follows his two Vultures releases earlier this year – is called Bully.
The new song is called Beauty and the Beast and he performed it in China, rapping over an instrumental background.
He raps: ‘I still think about it every night and day to try to stay away, to keep my audience / Don’t take this disrespect, I’m sitting here trying to redirect.’
During the concert he also debuted a new version of 530, a track off Vultures 2, which fans are calling a finished version as it contained a second verse.
Ye did not give the audience any clue as to when the Bully album would be released but if it follows the same route the two Vultures projects did, it will be plagued with delays.
Vultures was delayed months before finally dropping on February 10. The second Vultures project was initially scheduled for a March 8 release but was pushed until August 3.
