Kanye West and his wife Bianca Censori are reportedly ‘taking a break’ after her friends staged a successful intervention to raise concerns about her relationship with the rapper.
The couple have been apart since mid-October when Kanye claimed they were ‘taking a breather,’ according to The Sun.
The insider said Kanye’s ‘only focus right now is music’ as he’s working on a new album and that Bianca ‘may go back to him for the album launch’.
‘She loves the lifestyle, but I think it’s clear her family and friends would rather she didn’t,’ the source continued.
‘He is a very difficult person to be around and work for, and Bianca has been one of the most patient people ever to deal with him.

‘Her family has never been a fan of Ye, and those close to her have questioned whether marrying him was the right decision,’ they added.
The questioning came in the form of an intervention, according to insiders, who claim Bianca is fully aware of her husband’s ‘controlling ways’ after being told to ‘wake the f*** up’.
The architectural designer, 28, was reunited with two longtime girlfriends earlier this month during a solo trip home to Australia for the first time since secretly tying the knot with the controversial rapper, 46, in December.
Bianca had previously accused her friends of being ‘jealous’ of her newfound fame when they expressed concerns that the her husband is manipulating her into a ‘radicalized’ version of his ex-wife Kim Kardashian.
But after months of allegedly avoiding those closest to her, a source has exclusively revealed to DailyMail.com that she is ‘starting to see things from an outside perspective’.
‘Everyone is just glad that they finally were able to get through to Bianca,’ they said. ‘Her friends let her know exactly how they feel and they told her that she needs to wake the f*** up.
‘She knows that she has shut out those close to her and she is also starting to see through the smoky mirrors of her marriage. She is aware of Kanye’s controlling ways and she is starting to see things from an outside perspective.’
Their reunion was documented on Instagram, with one of Bianca’s friends sharing a picture of the three of them alongside the caption ‘Mrs Ye’ – a nod to the rapper who legally changed his name from Kanye Omari West to the mononym in October 2021.

Her time back home coincided with Kanye’s father-daughter trip to Dubai and Saudi Arabia with North, ten, whom he shares with Kim.
According to the source, Bianca ‘chose to go home after it was made clear to her that Kanye would be only taking North with him’.
They added: ‘It was clearly hard for them to break apart for the week, but there was no other option really.’
DailyMail.com has reached out to reps for Bianca and Kanye.
Concerns for Bianca – who was previously described as a ‘social butterfly’ by one of her childhood friends – started circulating this summer after pictures emerged of the designer in a series of eccentric outfits and engaging in lewd embraces with her husband.
A few of her friends managed to contact her at the time, but she allegedly told them to ‘f*** off’, a close friend told DailyMail.com in September.
‘She’s shut everyone out and told one of her former friends to “f*** off” when they tried to ask if she was okay,’ they said. ‘She is saying that her friends are just jealous of her stardom.’

Last month, DailyMail.com was told that Kanye has instructed his wife to ‘never speak’ – and has issued a set of rules for her to live by, including specific foods she can eat and what she can wear.
‘Kanye has a set of rules for Bianca, which includes never speak and wear what he wants her to wear,’ a source claimed.
‘She is also required to eat certain food items and to work out even though Kanye doesn’t work out.
‘She has no mind of her own anymore and obeys him because he has convinced her that they are royal.’
Bianca, who was hired as the Head of Architecture for Yeezy, married the Gold Digger rapper back in December 2022 – just weeks after his divorce from ex-wife Kim was finalized.
The pair were able to keep their legal union a secret as they wed under a ‘confidential marriage’ license in Palo Alto, California, meaning that it was not made public record.
