Kim Kardashian Is Now Legally Single

A US court has declared Kim Kardashian legally single after the most recent hearing in her divorce proceedings with Kanye West.

After a judge granted her motion, the reality star will return to her original name, Kardashian, at Wednesday’s hearing, appearing via video.

A divorce filing by the Kardashians from the rapper was reported first in February 2021, six years after they married.

According to recent reports, Kardashian, 41, said she suffered ’emotional distress’ due to her ex-husband’s Instagram posts about their marriage and her new relationship with Saturday Night Live comedian Pete Davidson.

TMZ reports that Kim told the judge: ‘I am very much deserving of a divorce’ and that she had asked West to keep details of their breakup private.

‘Kanye has been putting a lot of misinformation regarding our private matters and co-parenting on social media which has created emotional distress,’ the document allegedly read.

Julia Fox, star of Uncut Gems, and West have been spotted together on multiple occasions including Paris Fashion Week.

His new relationship now seems to be with model Chaney Jones, as the pair made their relationship Instagram official last week.

The musician’s lawyer confirmed to People on Tuesday that he has parted ways with Gold Digger rapper, who now has Samantha Spector representing him as his divorce lawyer.

Laura Wasser, who represents Kardashian, accused West of trying to slow down the case by switching his legal representation strategically.

At today’s court proceedings, a judge heard arguments regarding Kardashian’s request to have her legally single status reinstated while the main divorce proceedings continue.

According to his lawyer, Kardashian could remarry and move some of their assets into separate accounts.

It was reported that Kanye was excited about her but only if safeguards are put in place over the assets so they remained marital property.
