KANYE West and wife Bianca Censori reportedly do not have a prenup as their divorce looms.
The controversial rapper and his Australian architect wife have both reportedly reached out to divorce lawyers according to TMZ.
Sources have told the outlet that the couple do not have a prenuptial agreement which could spark a multi-million dollar battle.
However the outlet also reports that in a twist, under Californian law debts as well as assets are shared and so Bianca could end up owing money.
TMZ claims: “What makes it even more intriguing, we’re told Kanye has actually lost money since he married Bianca.
“In California, assets and debts are split equally, so on the surface, she could actually owe money.”
Meanwhile, Milo Yiannopolous, Kanye and Bianca’s rep, denied the divorce rumors.
“Ye and Bianca are in Los Angeles about to enjoy Valentine’s Day together,” Yiannopolous told The Hollywood Reporter.
Kanye also spurred another twist to the rumors after he posted, then deleted, a creepy reference to “coercion” on Instagram.
The post and rumors come less than a week after he published a series of posts on X claiming to “own” Censori.
The Daily Mail reported Bianca will be filing papers in the coming days, and will receive a $5 million payout in the divorce.
TMZ reported that the two have “reached out to divorce attorneys.”
Trouble appeared to brew between Kanye and Bianca on February 2, when they walked the Grammys red carpet in LA.
Bianca went nearly nude in a see-through mesh dress as Kanye stood by her side in a black shirt and pants.
The U.S. Sun exclusively reported that the pair appeared to be arguing just moments before pulling the shocking PR stunt.
In addition to his hateful and antisemitic rants on X, formerly known as Twitter, Kanye made comments toward Bianca that fans found disturbing over the past week.
“I have dominion over my wife. This ain’t no woke a** feminist s**t,” he said on February 7.
He also made troubling comments about domestic violence.
Kanye began dating Bianca soon after his 2021 split from ex-wife Kim Kardashian and secretly wed the following year.
Bianca Censori was born on January 5, 1995, in Melbourne, Australia
Before her current full-time job, the 30-year-old started a jewelry company called Nylons after leaving high school.
After working as a student architect for three years, she completed a master’s degree between 2019 and 2020 ahead of moving to Los Angeles.
In a radio interview, a childhood friend of Bianca’s claimed that Kanye slid into her DMs on Instagram.
The rapper reportedly said, “Come and work for me.”
At which point she says the designer moved to LA to join his company Yeezy as the “head of architecture” – and has been since November 2020.
WEDDING BELLS
On Friday, October 6, 2023, The Daily Mail reported Kanye and Bianca wed on December 20, 2022.
The couple tied the knot under a “confidential marriage license” in the state of California.
The two wed in Palo Alto, California, according to the document.
The wedding came just one month after Kanye and Kim Kardashian finalized their divorce.
Bianca’s silence and bizarre nude outfits have raised eyebrows over the past few years, with some fans suspecting the Yeezy model was not happy with her looks.
The couple largely lived abroad in Tokyo over the past year, as Kanye stayed far away from his many legal troubles back in the U.S.
ANTHONY JOSHUA is ready to look elsewhere for his next fight as Tyson Fury looks to remain in retirement.
The pair of British superstars looked on course to finally face each other this year – potentially as part of a huge two-bout deal.
But Fury, 36, announced a shock retirement in the wake of his second loss to Oleksandr Usyk, 38.
Joshua, 35, is coming off a loss of his own after Daniel Dubois’ knockout victory in September.
Dubois, 27, now defends his IBF title against Joseph Parker, 33, next Saturday in Saudi Arabia.
Joshua will have a close eye on the bout and could look to fight the winner in his bid to become a three-time heavyweight champion.
Promoter Hearn BetFred: “Right now because Tyson Fury is retired, so put him to the side for one second, the number one choice for AJ is to fight for the world heavyweight title.
“That’s 99 per cent of what he wants to do and if that’s Daniel Dubois, no problem.
“If that’s Joseph Parker, no problem. If AJ turns around and says that’s what he’s doing, then it’s done.
“It’s not me going saying he can’t fight Daniel Dubois. Some people say he shouldn’t have fought Oleksandr Usyk. What are you talking about?

“It’s your job, he’s the mandatory, what do you want to do? Give your belt up and have all that criticism that you ducked Usyk and you vacated your belt to do it?”
Hearn also talked down the prospect of Joshua joining Fury in hanging up his gloves.
He said: “Not yet, but there will come the time. Those kinds of conversations really come from behind the scenes from how somebody is performing in camp.
“In training camp, if you haven’t got it anymore, it’ll be apparent. The injuries will get worse, you’ll get hurt in sparring against somebody you shouldn’t be getting hurt against.
“You’re not sharp and when that moment comes, that’s when the team will say ‘AJ’s not looking good you know’, and that’s the moment when I will probably have a conversation with him.
“For the Daniel Dubois fight, the camp was great. He was super sharp and we were really confident going into that fight, coming off four good wins, two really good wins, and we thought he would win.
“We knew how dangerous the fight was, so he comes out, has a terrible start, never really recovers, comes back into the fight a little bit and gets chinned. No problem.
“If camp had gone really poorly and we were unsure, I think that conversation may have been brought forward.”
LOVE Island star Lana Jenkins sent her fans into meltdown with her latest saucy snap.
The stunning reality star, 27, looked incredible as she shared a picture of herself enjoying a relaxing sauna.
Lana – who was previously in a relationship with Love Island All Stars hunk Ron Hall – looked stunning in her sexy swimwear.
The make-up artist showed off her incredible figure as she enjoyed a day at the spa.
Lana showcased her body in a cutaway swimsuit that left very little to the imagination.
The Influencer teased fans with her caption, and said: “Escaped the cold… kinda.”
Lana’s followers were keen to show their appreciation and quickly commented on the sexy snap.
One wrote: “Gorgeous angel.”
Another said: “Ok wow this is insane!”
This one added: “Absolute perfection.”
Lana shot to fame on the Winter 2023 series of Love Island.
During her time on the show, she was coupled up with Ron.
The pair made it to the final, with Kai Fagan and Sanam Harrinanan – who are now engaged to be married – taking home the win.
However, Lana and Ron split three months later, with Ron later admitting that he didn’t enjoy a relationship in the public eye as it “ruined it”.
He told The Sun at the time: “The world is a bit nuts, sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn’t, and if it was in another world it might have worked.”
Ron didn’t have such an easy ride the second time round, when he entered the Love Island villa for a second time on All Stars.
He last about a week, before announcing his decision to quit.
At the time, Lana appeared to note his departure by sharing a picture of herself enjoying a drink in the bar.
In the caption, she simply wrote: “The Bar” alongside an emoji chart rising off the page, and a winky face.
Fans quickly commented that it appeared to be a swipe at Ron, with her “setting the bar high” for him when he returned to All Stars.
“Another Ron dig?? 
,” wrote one fan, prompting another to respond: “he literally stated his bar is high, she was how high the bar was set at.. it’s the truth far from a dig 
”
“What a indirect” laughed another, while a fourth said: “Well thats not Cryptic! ;)”
Ahead of entering All Stars, Ron said he would “flat out quit” if Lana walked in as a bombshell, saying he couldn’t watch her crack on with other men in front of him.
However, his former All Stars co-star Scott Thomas has since claimed that he was actually “waiting for her to enter the villa” – something which he has denied.
Speaking on the Love Island: The Morning After podcast, Ron said: “Why has he said that? It isn’t true.
“I had an inkling. I knew she was single; I knew she would probably be open to going back on.
“So, in my head, as you do, if I was probably in a couple and plain sailing with someone, it wouldn’t surprise me if they threw her in to spice things up.
“Everyone’s mind was on that if they had an ex who was single; we all kind of spoke about it.”
Love Island All Stars is back on TV for season 2.
Here we take you through the line-up of all the Islanders who are in the villa so far.
Bombshells
Each series brings with it a string of hot single bombshells making their epic entrance into the villa.
Here’s who has joined the villa so far:
A MAP has revealed the UK’s 10 most expensive towns and cities – where an eye-watering £200k deposit is needed to buy a home.
Research has shown the average house prices and how much potential buyers need to save up in order to afford them.
April Mortgages compiled the data and drew up the 16 most unaffordable areas to get on the property ladder.
St Albans, in Hertfordshire, ranked top of the list, with the average home costing an eye-watering £591,000.
Meanwhile, the typical salary is around £41,000, meaning residents would need to have a £406,000 deposit saved up to get a house.
Guildford, in Surrey, came in second place with properties going for roughly £512,000 on average.
With locals earning about £44,000 a year, they would need a hefty deposit of £314,000 to get a mortgage and home.
In third place was Cambridge, just north of London, where similar statistics were recorded.
The average house price was just over £500,000, while income was around £43,000 and deposits required were £308,000.
Most banks will only lend home buyers 4.5 times their gross annual salary, which means around £180,000 for someone earning the salaries set out above.
Mark Eaton, chief operating officer at April Mortgages said: “The speed at which house prices are rising is leaving many prospective buyers unable to afford a home.
“House prices have soared over the last 20 to 30 years and are estimated to be worth over nine times the average household income.
“Borrowers on lower or average salaries are facing an almighty battle to save a large enough deposit to climb onto the property ladder.”
Mr Eaton argued banks need to “wake-up to new ways of thinking” when it comes to mortgages in the midst of an affordability crisis.
Meanwhile, some of the most affordable areas to buy a house included Blackburn, in Lancashire, Darlington, in County Durham, and Sunderland in Tyne and Wear.
This comes as economic turmoil and a low supply of homes coming on to the market has seen property prices soar over the past few years.
Alice Haine, personal finance analyst at Bestinvest, said while potential rate cuts and easing inflation could help buyers “affordability levels remain stretched by historical standards.”
But, she added the prospect of more support from the Government if “proposals to loosen lending rules go ahead” could help improve the outlook.
Banks could soon be encouraged to offer more loans to people with smaller deposits and loosen limits on how much they can borrow.
Meanwhile, affordability checks lenders use to see how much you can pay off each month, could also take into account rental payments.
A major barrier for many buying a first home is the stringent checks that look at income to calculate this.
The potential shake up comes as part of plans by Chancellor Rachel Reeves to kickstart the economy.
One of the ideas reportedly floated is to allow banks to give more loans to buyers with smaller deposits.
GETTING on the property ladder can feel like a daunting task but there are schemes out there to help first-time buyers have their own home.
Help to Buy Isa – It’s a tax-free savings account where for every £200 you save, the Government will add an extra £50. But there’s a maximum limit of £3,000 which is paid to your solicitor when you move. These accounts have now closed to new applicants but those who already hold one have until November 2029 to use it.
Help to Buy equity loan – The Government will lend you up to 20% of the home’s value – or 40% in London – after you’ve put down a 5% deposit. The loan is on top of a normal mortgage but it can only be used to buy a new build property.
Lifetime Isa – This is another Government scheme that gives anyone aged 18 to 39 the chance to save tax-free and get a bonus of up to £32,000 towards their first home. You can save up to £4,000 a year and the Government will add 25% on top.
Shared ownership – Co-owning with a housing association means you can buy a part of the property and pay rent on the remaining amount. You can buy anything from 25% to 75% of the property but you’re restricted to specific ones.
Mortgage guarantee scheme – The scheme opens to new 95% mortgages from April 19 2021. Applicants can buy their first home with a 5% deposit, it’s eligible for homes up to £600,000.
Deposits are cash payments paid upfront by a person looking to buy a house and are worth a percentage of the property’s value.
Most first time buyers pay a 20% deposit on their first home.
In December 2024 the average price of a house was £360,197, according to Rightmove.
That means wanna-be buyers would need to pay a deposit of £72,000 in order to be accepted for a mortgage.
Meanwhile, extra stamp duty relief available to first-time buyers since 2022 will end in April 2025.
As a result, a first-time buyer purchasing a property valued at £425,000 will incur a stamp duty charge of £6,250.
A glimmer of hope can be found in the Monetary Policy Committee (MPC), the Bank of England’s rate-setters, cutting the base rate from 4.75% to 4.5% last week.
The base rate is used by lenders to determine the interest rates offered to customers on savings and borrowing costs.
A base rate cut can mean that mortgage rates are lowered, which is good news for homeowners.
Earlier this week, Santander launched a two-year and five-year fix with a rate of just 3.99%.
It’s the first sub-4% mortgage on the market since November last year.

MIKEL MERINO dedicated his late Arsenal double to his wife Lola… after forgetting to buy her a Valentine’s Day present.
The Spaniard, 28, rose from the bench to net both of the Gunners’ goals in their 2-0 win at Leicester.

After the game, Merino made a cheeky admission while speaking to TNT Sports.
He told reporter Becky Ives: “It’s the first time in my career that I’ve played as a striker. The manager told me to use my strengths and I think I did that.”
On if he expects to play up top more, he added: “I don’t think so, to be honest.
“But it’s a good day to score because I forgot to give my wife a Valentine’s Day present, so I think she’ll appreciate this more than a rose or some chocolates.”
Seeing Merino’s interview, one fan joked: “Brother, you are in the doghouse.”
While a second joked: “How romantic.”
A third quipped: “Merino is so locked in he forgot to get his wife a valentine’s.”
Despite the makeshift forward’s double, Ethan Nwaneri was awarded TNT Sports’ player of the match award.

On the 17-year-old, Merino added: “He’s an amazing player.
“Every time I do an interview, you guys ask me for him!
“That’s natural because he is such a talent.
“He has such a wonderful left foot and he put the ball right on my head so that all I could do was score.”
Arsenal‘s win saw them reduce their deficit to Liverpool at the top of the table to four points.
Arne Slot‘s men will play their game in hand tomorrow, hosting Wolves at Anfield.
