American socialite and billionaire, Kim Kardashian, has iterated her desire to separate from Kanye West, now legally known as Ye, despite the rapper’s public bid to reconcile with his estranged wife. The reality TV star filed court documents to fast-track her divorce from the ‘Donda’ singer and requested to be legally single.
Kim claimed her lawyers have reached out to Ye and his counsel to “move this case forward to a speedy and amicable resolution” since she first filed for divorce in February this year, but Ye has not responded to these requests, according to court documents obtained by some local media.
The ‘Keeping Up with the Kardashian’ star’s filing read in parts: “The parties’ marriage has irremediably broken down. Petitioner [Kardashian] no longer desires to be married to Respondent [Ye]. There are simply no compelling reasons not to grant a motion to bifurcate and terminate marital status in this case”.
Explaining that their marriage was “no longer viable” and that “no counseling or reconciliation effort” could save it, Kardashian said: “Respondent [Ye] and I both deserve the opportunity to build new lives”.
If the judge signs off on Kardashian’s legal paperwork, the 41-year-old beauty mogul will be able to separate marital status from the divorce proceedings. The former couple will then only have to deal with matters relating to the joint custody of their children and assets like property and other possessions.
The couple wedded in 2014 and share four children; daughters North (8) and three-and-a-half-year-old Chicago, as well as six-year-old son, Saint and baby boy, Psalm.
Over the past few weeks, Ye has repeatedly asked Kardashian to give their marriage a second chance. During a performance of his song, ‘Runaway’ at the recent ‘Free Larry Hoover Benefit Concert’ in Los Angeles on December 10, 2021, Ye repeated the refrain “I need you to run right back to me” before adding: “More specifically, Kimberly”.
The rapper also made a speech about Kardashian and their four children at the Los Angeles Mission’s Annual Thanksgiving event on November 24, 2021. At the time, he apologized for doing “things that were not acceptable as a husband” but that he believed God will bring “KimYe together” again.
Meanwhile, in the past, Ye claimed that he had “never even seen” any divorce paperwork.
According to some reports, Kardashian is currently dating Saturday Night Live cast member, Pete Davidson. The couple have been spotted together on dates in LA and New York recently.
Amidst Kim’s divorce, the beauty mogul on December 13, 2021 revealed she passed the “baby bar” law exam, after three previous failed attempts, as she continues to pursue a law career. Kim Kardashian is now one step closer to becoming a lawyer after passing the First-Year Law Students’ Examination.
“…I PASSED THE BABY BAR EXAM!!!!” the reality star excitedly announced via Instagram.
She continued by noting that “Looking in the mirror, I am really proud of the woman looking back today in the reflection”.
According to the beauty mogul, her feat “wasn’t easy or handed” to her. Admitting she previously failed the test three times in 2 years, Kim noted that she got back up each time and studied harder and tried again until she succeeded.
Kim then advised her fans and followers saying: “Don’t ever give up. Even when you are holding on by a thread, you can do it. I know my dad would be so proud. He would actually be so shocked to know that this is my path now but he would have been my best study partner”.
