She was thrown into the spotlight when she married Kanye West and has since made headlines for her shock-factor outfit choices.
But Bianca Censori had another love before she met the controversial rapper – she was in a wholesome and loving relationship with Melbourne businessman Nick Forgaine.
The architectural designer, 30, dated Nick for six years before she got married to Kanye – and they reportedly still keep in contact.
Nick, who it was reported in 2023 owns a cafe and a factory in the city, was Bianca’s first love, with the pair initially meeting in 2007 in Ivanhoe when they were just 14 years old.
Friends told Daily Mail Austrailia Bianca was always extremely popular with the boys, but the pair didn’t connect romantically until 2014 when they were 21.
The couple eventually went their separate ways the day before Melbourne’s lockdown in March 2020.

In a previous interview with Nova FM’s Fitzy & Wippa, Forgaine said while Bianca ‘wasn’t a fan’ of Kanye, he did have ‘hilarious’ videos of her dancing to ‘I Love It’, Kanye’s 2018 collaboration with Lil Pump.
‘Bianca has always been bigger than Melbourne and we both knew this,’ he said about their split.
‘One time we traveled to America and she told me she would live there one day’.
However, they have remained ‘supportive’ of each other, Forgiane added.
Forgaine previously said it wasn’t Bianca’s move overseas that inspired the couple’s breakup.
‘The girl is extremely talented and took the leap to go chase her dream of being a famous architect, which she’s achieved,’ he said.
‘Of course I support them. If Bianca is happy [with Kanye], I am happy for her.
‘She has always been supportive of my relationships. I wish them the best and hope it’s a modern-day love story.’
Photos shared to her ex boyfriend, Forgiane’s Instagram page show pictures of the then loved-up couple during their six-year relationship.

The pair can be seen posing for the camera on holidays in New York City’s Times Square in New York in 2015 – one year into their relationship.
Other photos show the couple dressed in monochrome for Melbourne Spring Racing carnival Oaks day in 2017 and 2018.
In 2019, the couple were photographed at celebrity hotspot Raes on Wategos, a boutique hotel in Byron Bay.
Forgiane’s social media page also features photos from Rainbow Serpent festival, with Censori photographed with her feet on her face as well as posing for group shots.
Prior to making a name for herself as Mrs. Kanye West ,Bianca Censori lived a quiet life in Melbourne, where she was known as a stylish and smart ‘social butterfly.’
In 2023, Daily Mail Australia spoke to confidantes and colleagues of Censori, who studied for the Victorian Certificate of Education at Kew’s prestigious Carey Baptist Grammar School.
A high school peer told the publication that Bianca ‘always ran in private school circles’.
‘She was friendly with the Xavier and Ivanhoe Grammar boys and hung out with Genazzano and MLC girls,’ she said.

‘She’s super close with her family, who from memory were always considerably private people. So the fact Bianca has married someone so high-profile must have taken them by surprise.’
Another school friend said while Bianca was in the ‘popular’ group, she ‘always had time for people outside her social circle’.
‘I would describe Bianca as a social butterfly – the kind of girl who was friends with everyone,’ the peer told Daily Mail Australia.
‘Like, she was never an intimidating mean girl. I think it would surprise people how smart she is.’
After graduating in 2012 with a VCE that put her near the top of her school, Bianca obtained a Bachelor of Architecture from the University of Melbourne in 2017.
A childhood friend said Bianca was always going to succeed at whatever she chose to do.
‘She was a party girl after high school; she never missed all the big social events like nightclubbing or going to the Spring Racing Carnival,’ she said.
‘I can’t say I’m surprised she’s ended up working for Yeezy. She has always been stylish and pushed boundaries in fashion.

‘At one point she was running her own jewellery business. I am surprised she’s married Kanye, though.’
Another female friend recalled attending the four-day Rainbow Serpent festival with Bianca in Lexton in January 2017.
‘Bianca was always a bit of an “It girl”,’ she said. ‘We partied together at Rainbow Serpent back in the day and she was up for a good time.
‘I loved that she so boldly wore nipple pasties!’
Bianca returned to university to complete a Master of Architecture from 2019 to 2020.
A former colleague at a South Yarra furniture store remembered Bianca had always applied herself to work.
‘While I haven’t been in touch with Bianca for a number of years, I can confirm she was a very hard-working young lady,’ she said. ‘I was certainly surprised to read she’s gotten hitched to Kanye West – good for her.’
Bianca caused controversy when she stripped nude at the Grammys on Sunday to reveal a sheer bodysuit with nothing underneath.
While many have pointed the finger at her husband Kanye for masterminding the Grammys stunt, unearthed photos have revealed that Bianca may have had more of hand in the look than assume
But while many have pointed the finger at her husband Kanye for masterminding the stunt, unearthed photos have revealed that Bianca may have had more of hand in the look than assumed.
Bianca was previously a Creative Director for a fashion line called Raga Malak, and during her time there she served as a model for many of the brand’s daring looks.
Among them was a full body stocking in a sheer, nude material that strongly resembled her Grammys outfit.
In the photos taken in 2018, Bianca wears nude underwear underneath the see-through bodysuit, in a fashion statement similar to her red carpet statement.
Before her days gaining fame on West’s arm, Bianca started the brand with business partner Gadir Rajab before leaving to pursue a masters degree.
