Kim Kardashian Is Officially SiKim Kardashian is officially a single woman, even as her divorce from Kanye West continues.
Gatekeepers News reports that the 41-year-old Keeping Up With The Kardashians star was declared legally single by a judge following Wednesday morning’s court hearing over her divorce from the 44-year-old rapper, according to PA.
The change in her status comes after her ex tried to slow down their divorce by challenging their prenuptial agreement in court.
With Kardashian’s new single status comes a change in her name, as she has officially dropped the ‘West’ and legally returned to being Kim Kardashian.
Sources previously told TMZ that West was unlikely to attend the hearing, and he ended up being a no-show.
Kim wasn’t in the courthouse in person, but she did join remotely via a video call.
According to the outlet, the rapper’s attorney didn’t object to Kardashian being declared single, but they did list out his requests before she was declared single.
The judge was amenable to the Flashing Lights rapper’s request that the any money intended to be split between the two would revert to the other ex in case one of them dies.
However, the judge rejected West’s other requests about asset transfer and ‘marital privilege.’
The producer had asked the judge to prevent his ex-wife from transferring any assets she had kept in trusts, which they denied.
They also shut down his request for Kardashian to waive her right to have any person she marries in the future be able to refuse to testify about communications they had with her.
Kardashian’s new legal status means that West is also legally single, and a source close to the rapper claimed to TMZ that he also wants the divorce to proceed, though that doesn’t align with his delay tactics in court or his public statements about trying to get his wife back.
Kanye was seen the night before the hearing in Miami, where he met up with Khloé Kardashian’s ex Tristan Thompson for a dinner with multiple other women.
