Kanye West is showing a surprisingly tender side this holiday season. The rapper publicly praised his wife, Bianca Censori, in a rare social media post—just days after reuniting with ex-wife Kim Kardashian for a family Christmas celebration.
West, 48, took to Instagram to share several images from Censori’s recent performance art installation BIO POP (THE ORIGIN), which premiered in Seoul, South Korea. He captioned the post, “So proud of my wife,” and linked to an Architectural Digest Middle East feature that described her work as a “feminist critique.” The gesture caught fans off guard, marking one of the few times West has publicly acknowledged Censori since their low-key marriage.
Shortly after the post, the couple was seen at Disneyland’s California Adventure with two of West’s children, Saint, 9, and Chicago, 7, following the family’s Christmas Eve spent with Kardashian. Censori looked surprisingly understated, wearing a black off-the-shoulder top and leggings with her hair pulled into a bun—a subtle contrast to her usual avant-garde looks. West kept things casual in a black hoodie, sweatpants, and sunglasses as the pair navigated the park with a Disney guide, blending family time with public visibility.
According to TMZ, West and Kardashian’s holiday reunion was cordial and focused entirely on their four children—North, 12, Saint, 9, Chicago, 7, and Psalm, 5. Sources say it marked a rare moment of harmony between the exes, who have often made headlines for their tense co-parenting relationship. Insiders add that West has been reflecting on his past behavior and making a concerted effort to be a more involved father, particularly in supporting North’s creative interests. Once critical of her social media activity, he now reportedly encourages her artistic expression, music, and bold style choices—including her electric-blue hair.
The shift in West’s approach comes as Kardashian continues to speak candidly about the challenges of co-parenting. In a recent episode of The Kardashians, she admitted to finding West’s parenting style “frustrating,” confessing, “Sometimes I just feel like snapping, but I can’t.” She’s described her focus as staying strong and stable for her kids, positioning herself as the anchor in their shared custody arrangement.
In previous interviews, including on the Angie Martinez IRL podcast, Kardashian said she works hard to shield her children from their father’s public controversies, saying, “I had the best dad,” referring to her late father, Robert Kardashian. On Call Her Daddy, she emphasized that she avoids online arguments, saying, “I’m just not that girl online that’s gonna fight back.”
Kardashian filed for divorce in 2021 and finalized it the following year. Since then, West’s relationship with Censori—a 30-year-old Australian architect and artist—has drawn constant attention for her daring fashion and provocative creative projects. But this holiday season, the couple’s quiet affection and West’s renewed effort to be present for his family suggest something rare for the often-chaotic rapper: a moment of calm, connection, and balance.
