Kanye West was seen out shopping in Tokyo, Japan, with his wife Bianca Censori on October 8, 2024, despite the ongoing rumors of their split. Their public display of affection is a very different picture from the recent speculation about the status of the marriage.
In the middle of swirling rumors that the power couple was headed for divorce, Kanye West and Bianca Censori were found on a shopping spree at an upscale mall in the middle of Tokyo. The pair looked mostly relaxed and happy, dispelling sensational reports of a rift. Kanye was his usual laidback self, with a casual all-white long-sleeve jersey with baggy pants, while Bianca stunned in the matching off-white outfit that consisted of a cropped top, leggings, and knee-high furry boots.
The whole outing wasn’t just about the fashion, though. Spectators couldn’t help but notice their clear chemistry, as Bianca could be seen fondly touching Kanye’s face as the two went up an escalator-a move surely captured for fans and cameras everywhere. They walked close, arm-in-arm, a perfect opposite to the rumors that had been running in recent weeks.
The spotting comes on the heels of TMZ’s attempting to stir the pot with a bombshell report earlier this week, saying the couple had called it quits. According to sources cited by the tabloid, Kanye and Bianca had been
“telling people around them they split up a few weeks ago,”
with Bianca supposedly headed to Australia to spend time with her family. TMZ’s article fueled speculation that their relationship was crumbling, reporting that Kanye was planning to relocate to Tokyo permanently.
That has left fans speculating this may be the end of the inseparable couple since their wedding. Meanwhile, news about the breakup seemed to corroborate earlier reports that Bianca was spending time away from Kanye, allegedly reconnecting with her family Down Under. But this latest appearance in Tokyo has thrown those rumors into question.
Meanwhile, the Tokyo outing also coincides with Kanye’s ongoing two-month tour across Asia; Bianca has been a constant feature by his side. They have been seen at different events and spots during the tour, making them look more united. Despite the headlines, they are acting as if to shut down the split rumors with their public appearances.
Unquestionably, this sighting in Tokyo has set off a flurry of reactions both from fans and the media alike. But now, some are backpedaling, suggesting that maybe the rough spots are being worked through in private. Others say the split rumors were blown out of proportion in the first place. Fans on social media are also divided: some are commending the couple for remaining strong amidst the rumors, while others are skeptical.
“Looks like TMZ jumped the gun,”
tweeted one fan, adding:
“They look so in love, it’s hard to believe anything’s wrong.”
