Kimberly Kardashian is being reported to have filed court documents to become legally single one day after her estranged husband Kanye West awkwardly begged for her to “run back” to him.
TMZ reports that the 41-year-old Kimberly Kardashian who is a mother of four filed the paperwork Friday afternoon, which if signed by a judge, will separate issues of child custody and property from marital status.
Kimberly who filed for divorce in February is also looking to restore her maiden name and officially drop the “West” surname she currently shares with Kanye and their children, North, 8, Saint, 6, Chicago, 3, and Psalm, 2.
Kardashian made the move shortly after her soon-to-be ex-husband publicly professed his love for her on Thursday night’s Free Larry Hoover Benefit Concert, co-headlined by former foe, Drake.
“I need you to run right back to me, more specifically Kimberly,” the artist, now known as “Ye” ad libbed during a performance of his song “Runaway.”
The “Skims” founder, however, doesn’t appear to want to reconcile, as she’s dating “Saturday Night Live” cast member, Pete Davidson.
One thing is for sure, divorce or not Kim and Kanye have, for the most part, remained a united front when it comes to their kids and emotional support. Just days ago they attended close friend Virgil Abloh’s funeral together.
It wasn’t the first time we’d seen Ye make a public play for his estranged wife, either. On Thanksgiving, he released a 5-minute-long video confessing to his issues with alcohol and times when he embarrassed Kim including wearing a MAGA hat.
Kanye has maintained Kim was “still” his wife in recent interviews, but this document would change that … and make them legally separate entities.
