Kanye West shocked the world after secretly marrying Bianca Censori during a 'private ceremony' in Beverly Hills, just two months after finalizing his divorce from Kim Kardashian.
While their wedding, which took place in January, was not legally-binding, the 46-year-old rapper and Yeezy architect, 28, had been seen wearing wedding rings for weeks ahead of their walk down the aisle.
It's not clear how long they have known each other or how long they had been dating, but Bianca joined Kanye's Yeezy company in November 2020.
She is listed as Head of Architecture and secured the position after obtaining a Master's in building design at Melbourne University in Australia. It's unclear whether she still works for his clothing company.
Now, eight months into their marriage, DailyMail.com is taking a look at their whirlwind romance.

February 2021: Kim Kardashian files for divorce
In February 2021, Kardashian filed for divorce from her former spouse after almost seven years of marriage.
The reality TV star filed documents through her lawyer Laura Wasser, but the date of separation was not listed.
At the time, People reported that Kim was already 'ready to move on' from the divorce drama.
The source said that Kim and Kanye's marriage 'has been broken for a long time.'
'Kim feels like she has done everything she can to save it. Filing for divorce is something she has been thinking about for a long time. She has also been dreading it. She really, really has done everything to avoid filing.
'Last year, she hoped they could somehow work things out,' they added. 'In the past few weeks though, it has been clear that they are done. Although, there is still love, they are just too different and have different visions for the future.'
Kim and Kanye started dating in 2012, became engaged in 2013 and wed in May 2014 in Italy after they had already welcomed their eldest daughter North.
