Bianca Censori is still standing by Kanye West for now, but a source exclusively tells Globe that those around them, including the rapper’s ex-wife Kim Kardashian, are skeptical the marriage will last.
According to the source, Kardashian, 45, has grown increasingly concerned about the situation and feels a sense of empathy toward Censori, 31.
“Kim feels a tremendous sympathy towards Bianca,” the source says. “She is one of the few people on earth who knows how horrific it is to be married to the man.”
The two women are said to communicate on a regular basis, particularly when it comes to coordinating plans involving Kardashian and West’s children: North, 12, Saint, 10, Chicago, 8, and Psalm, 6.
“She actually talks with her quite a lot, mainly when they make arrangements for the kids,” the source continues, noting that “Kanye refuses to have any words with Kim or her family, so Bianca has to play go-between or it winds up being an expensive back and forth process with the lawyers.”

Because of those interactions, the reality TV star has formed strong opinions about Censori’s situation.
“During those exchanges Kim’s come to realize that this girl is clearly in over her head and deluding herself that Kanye’s a good soul deep down who’ll one day snap back into being kind and reasonable,” the source explains, adding that Kardashian recognizes the mindset.
“Kim’s been there, she gets it,” the source shares, “but ultimately she ran out of sympathy for him years ago and it saddens her to see him dragging people into his sordid world and effectively brainwashing them.”
However, the Skims founder is said to be keeping the door open: “She’s told Bianca that the door’s always open for her, and when this marriage does come crashing down it’ll be her total pleasure to help in any way she can.”

Kardashian and West, 48, first began dating in 2011 before welcoming North in June 2013. Four months later, the “Runaway” rapper popped the question and in May 2014, the two wed in Europe.
By January 2021, rumors began swirling that the All’s Fair actress and West were headed for divorce and Kardashian officially filed the following month.
Censori and West kept their relationship private, and it wasn’t revealed that they were even together until after they wed in a secret ceremony in December 2022.
