Meet Bianca Censori’s Australian ‘gangster’ family: Kanye West’s wife has a notorious father and uncle who have both been imprisoned – but what do the Censori and Kardashian sisters have in common?
Beyond her controversial husband, Censori hails from a somewhat edgy family herself back in Australia. In fact, according to British press reports, Censori is the “daughter of a notorious Australian gangster” who was reportedly imprisoned for “heroin dealing”.
Here’s what we’ve heard about Bianca Censori’s Aussie clan.
Who are Bianca Censori parents?
Not much is known about Bianca’s pre-Kanye-West life, but her father is reportedly a notorious gangster named Elia “Leo” Censori. Per UK media, he was jailed in 1982 for possession of a pistol and ammunition.
Meanwhile, Bianca’s uncle is believed to be Eris Censori, a “notorious gangland killer” who was once dubbed “Melbourne’s Al Capone”, according to British media. The same reports claims that Eris was sentenced to death in Western Australia for murder, but it was later commuted to life imprisonment. Bianca’s other uncle Edmondo is also said to have been involved in crime. The British press reports note that Bianca’s family originated from Italy, before settling in Australia.
Bianca’s mother Alexandra, meanwhile, seems to be more low-key and has been described as having a close physical resemblance to her daughter.

According to Parade, one of Censori’s friends revealed that West slid into her DMs. The pal added that West told Censori to “come and work for me” and she moved to Los Angeles to take him up on the offer. Before that it seems she was enjoying living and working in Melbourne.
“The pandemic was the first time in a long time a lot of Australian creatives were brought back to one place. Melbourne felt like this melting pot of global creativity,” she told Vogue Australia of the period. “People began to cross disciplines and collaborate in ways I hadn’t experienced before.”
The pair wed in December 2022, a month after West’s divorce from Kardashian was finalised, and reportedly tied the knot in a private ceremony.
