(Los Angeles) Kim Kardashian officially became single on Wednesday: a Los Angeles judge granted her divorce from Kanye West, whom she married in 2014.
Posted at 2:34 p.m.
The reality TV star appeared in court via the internet, but Kanye West was only represented in court by his lawyer, who did not object to the dissolution of the marriage.
Until then, the rapper, who officially obtained to change his marital status to “Ye”, opposed this separation and had called Kim Kardashian for reconciliation on social networks on several occasions.
Kim Kardashian filed for divorce last year after months of rumors in the press about her marital difficulties and the rapper’s psychological problems.
“I really want to be divorced,” Kim Kardashian wrote in a statement filed last week in court. “I asked Kanye to keep our divorce private, but he didn’t,” the 41-year-old star added.
“I believe that if the court ends our marriage, it will help Kanye accept that our marital relationship is over and move on” so that we can “peacefully raise our children,” the statement read.
The couple have four children: two girls, North and Chicago (8 and 4 years old respectively) and two boys, Saint and Psalm (6 and 2 years old).
The two stars, who started dating in 2012 and married in Italy two years later, have quickly become one of the hottest couples in the world.
But their union suffered in particular from the unpredictable outbursts of Ye, who suffers from bipolar disorder.
