Los Angeles, March 3 : Days after Kim Kardashian claimed Kanye “Ye” West was causing “emotional distress”, the SKIMS mogul was granted her bifurcation request to restore her marital status to single. With this, she has dropped ‘West’ from her name. The former Keeping Up With the Kardashians star virtually appeared at a court hearing for her and Kanye’s ongoing divorce case, during which a judge restored her marital status to single. Ye was not present for the hearing. Kim Kardashian is officially dropping West. Kim filed for divorce in February 2021, claiming that her estranged husband was causing “emotional distress” by putting “misinformation” about private family matters on social media. “I very much desire to be divorced,” Kim stated in court documents obtained by E! News on February 24. “I have asked Kanye to keep our divorce private, but he has not done so.” “While I wish our marriage would have succeeded, I have come to the realization that there is no way to repair our marriage,” the reality tv star—who shares kids North West, 8, Saint West, 6, Chicago West, 4, and Psalm West, 2, with Ye—went on to state. “Kanye does not agree but at least it appears that he has come to the realization that I want to end our marriage, even if he does not.” ING
