Rapper’s wife wants ‘stability’

West and Censori were rumored to be on the verge of divorce because the Australian beauty wanted “stability” in their marriage.
However, those rumors were squashed after the couple purchased their new home together.
“Bianca has been wanting stability for over a year now,” the source told the outlet. “This house was a last-ditch effort to save their marriage because Kanye knows what she wants, which is to have a family and to be grounded. But her family doesn’t know if Kanye is going to give her that.”
They continued: “Kanye changes his mind daily about what he wants to do and this house was purchased with the intention of living in it.”
Kanye West has been abroad for a long time

West has apparently pitched his tents in Tokyo, Japan, while continuing to stay away from the United States.
Sources had earlier suggested he was doing so because he was “terrified” of being drawn into the sex crimes controversy plaguing his former friend Sean “Diddy” Combs.
He was also seen last week buying snacks at a 7-Eleven convenience store with three of his children: Saint, Psalm and Chicago, all of whom clutched the bag of snacks they purchased.
Meanwhile, the insider who spoke to the Daily Mail said Censori was “tired of hopping from hotel to hotel and city to city” and that she had “had no stability since marrying Kanye,” adding that with the sexual assault trial they are both facing from her former employee, “she’s stressed.”
