North West's close bond with dad Kanye West's wife Bianca Censori

They were spotted hand-in-hand after grabbing a McDonald's meal, but what's the relationship really like between Bianca Censori and stepdaughter North West?

Hollywood experts predicted chaos when the model tied the knot with controversial rapper Kanye West in December 2022. Relationship and family professionals weren't sure how she'd fit in with Ye's kids, shared of course with his ex, Kim Kardashian.

One even told The Mirror that it was "unlikely that Bianca will be fully accepted into the Kardashian family in the same way that Scott Disick and Tristan Thompson are" - but it appears they got it wrong as Bianca seems to be spending a lot of time with Kim's kids.

Pictures from December last year show Bianca beginning a bond with Kim and Kanye's eldest, North. A relationship that seems to be growing as the two were recently seen enjoying each other's company, supporting Ye at various events all around the world.

Last month, the pair were seen supporting Kanye at his album listening party. The 29-year-old was filmed chatting to 10-year-old North as the pair watched Ye take to the stage in Paris. In a video shared on TikTok, Bianca was seen whispering into North's ear before the youngster excitedly turned and held her step-mother's hand.

North seemed to have been inspired by Bianca when it came to her outfit as she wore a fur hat, something Bianca sported during a trip to Dubai. North also showed her support for Kanye's new album, Vultures 1, as she wore a T-shirt promoting her dad's new songs. Bianca decided to ditch her racy wardrobe and wore a covered-up look.

She opted for an oversized T-shirt and pulled her hair back into a tiny bun. The pair were later photographed grabbing a bite to eat together. Her look came after Kim is believed to have told the rapper to make sure Bianca doesn't wear anything revealing around their kids.

Opening up about Bianca's relationship with North, body language expert Judi James recently told The Mirror Bianca and North acted like "friends who really enjoy each other's company". She explained: "North and her step-mum look more like two young fans of dad Kanye as they stand watching him perform at his latest listening party.

"They are nearly similar in height now and they look relaxed, playful and very easy-going in their mutually tactile behaviour together. Bianca is so attentive to North, turning to get her face close to use eye contact and to share smiles as they talk, adding a couple of appreciative touches to North's outfit." Judi added: "The synchronised movement and the touch and closeness-sharing and mirroring here suggests these two are also friends who really enjoy each other's company."

Last year, relationship expert Louella Alderson said: "It's highly unlikely that Bianca will be fully accepted into the Kardashian family in the same way that Scott Disick and Tristan Thompson are. She's not an ex-partner of a Kardashian family member, like Scott and Tristan, who have had long-term relationships with Kourtney and Khloe respectively.

"The Kardashians have typically maintained good relationships with their exes, especially if children are involved. The exception to this is Kanye, who Kim hasn't had the best relationship with since their divorce."
