Bianca Censori has spoken publicly for the first time about her future with husband Kanye West, revealing that the pair have discussed the idea of having children together, although the timing remains uncertain.
In an interview with Vanity Fairshared Censori that growing their family is something they have thought about, while acknowledging that there is no clear plan in place.
Reflecting on the uncertainty, she asked, “When is it ever the right time for children?” Censori is already stepmother to West’s four children, Psalm, Chicago, Saint and North, whom he shares with ex-wife Kim Kardashian.
She also suggested that parenthood could mean a big lifestyle change for the couple.
If they welcome a child together, Censori said they have considered leaving Los Angeles, largely because of West’s discomfort with paparazzi culture.
She explained that the intense attention during a recent trip to Disneyland with the children left them frustrated by how closely everything was documented.
“My husband and I talk about it,” she said, explaining that West struggles with the idea of children being photographed.
“He has a real problem with LA because of the idea that they can photograph children.”
While Censori’s comments point to hope for the future, they come amid reports of strain in her marriage.
A source told me recently PEOPLE that the relationship had been strained and that Censori had tried to leave before West sought professional help.
According to the source, “Bianca had been very unhappy in their marriage for a while and tried to get out a number of times.”
West has since publicly addressed his mental health.
In a January 28 email interview with Vanity Fairthe rapper said he experienced a “deep depressive episode” linked to an antipsychotic medication and said he ended up in “a rehab center in Switzerland.”
West has previously spoken openly about living with bipolar disorder.
This was told by another source close to the musician PEOPLE that his fights have followed a familiar pattern over the years.
“He’s been in this vicious cycle for years,” the source said, explaining that periods of instability often lead to public fallout.
“When he reaches a more stable place, he becomes acutely aware of the damage he has caused to his family, friends and himself.”
The source added that this awareness brings overwhelming guilt, making it difficult for him to remain emotionally balanced.
“He understands what he’s done and it weighs heavily on him. As he feels more clear, there’s already so much fallout.”
So far, Censori’s remarks suggest a cautious optimism that balances thoughts of family and change with the realities of a highly scrutinized marriage and West’s ongoing efforts to regain stability.
