Kim Kardashian to Bianca Censori: A look at Kanye West’s dating history

After leaving the world shocked and surprised with their stunt at the Grammys, rapper Kanye West (who now goes by Ye) and his wife Bianca Censori are reportedly heading toward a split. An insider told Page Six that she (Bianca Censori) has had enough. The swastika shirt was apparently the last straw. The source said that Censori told Ye that she can't be associated with it, and it does not reflect who she is. Ye has been posting antisemitic remarks on X, including claims that he is a Nazi.

The recent remarks seem to have cast a shadow over their two years of marriage. As rumours of their impending separation continue to swirl, Ye’s love life remains as controversial as his career.

I wish him the best in his future and all of his endeavors. He's one of the most talented people I've ever met,” Phifer told PEOPLE at the time.

Brooke Crittendon
Following his split with Phifer, Kanye dated reality star Brooke Crittendon. She later spoke to Essence about the pressure the spotlight put on their relationship.

Speaking to Essence in 2009, Crittendon said, "I was just living in a big city on my own and had to live in the shadow of that's 'Kanye's ex-girl.' I’m so much bigger than that."
