With Kanye’s recent antics, it is no surprise Kim Kardashian has filed to be legally single as they work on their divorce.
The news comes about 10 months after Kim announced her decision to divorce Kanye after seven years of marriage; the pair began dating in 2012 and tied the knot in May 2014, less than a year after Kim gave birth to their first child, North West.
According to legal documents obtained by TMZ, the 41-year-old multi-hyphenate on filed on Friday to become “legally single” amid divorce proceedings with Ye. If cleared by a judge, the order will effectively separate issues like child custody and property ownership from Kim’s marital status. Furthermore, the mother of four has asked the court to restore her maiden name, meaning she has decided to ditch the “West” surname.
Kim Kardashian has filed to be legally single news is no surprise since Kanye has been making statements about getting them back. The most recent was at Free Larry Hoover benefit concert featuring special guest Drake. During his performance the rapper spoke again about reconciling with Kim:
“I need you to run right back to me,” he repeated toward the end of the song, before adding, “More specifically, Kimberly.”
Kanye admits be made “mistakes” made during his marriage to Kim. He acknowledged some of his choices and behavior were unacceptable, but remained confident he and his wife still had a chance.
“If the enemy can separate Kimye, there’s going to be millions of families that feel like that separation is OK …,” he told the crowd during the pre-Thanksgiving event. “… [But] when God —who has already won and is so — brings Kimye together, there’s gonna be millions of families that are going to be influenced and see they can overcome the work of the separation, of trauma the devil has used to capitalize to keep people in misery while people step over homeless people to go to the Gucci store.”
