Kim Kardashian Drops Last Name 'West' From Her Instagram Account
Kim Kardashian is going back to her original moniker. The reality TV mogul removed the last name West from her Instagram just one day after she was .declared legally single
Kim's petition to be declared legally single amid her divorce proceedings with Kanye “Ye” was granted Tuesday. While the ruling means that Kim will honestly be dropping West from her last name, it does not tell her final divorce.
This ruling means her marital status is single while working out a divorce settlement with Kanye. The judge made the ruling Wednesday morning in court, and the 41-year-old reality TV star also gave a short testimony via zoom
The mogul and mother of four wore minimal makeup. Her demeanour was professional and poised as she answered the judge's lighthearted questions before he dove into specifics about the long, drawn-out divorce case.
Judge Steve Cochran said there was particular interest in the children -- North, 8, Saint, 6, Chicago, 4, and Psalm, 2 -- and asked Kardashian how they were doing. "Everyone is doing OK," she responded. Cochran also asked Kardashian if she's showering them with affection, to which she replied, "Absolutely."
The judge relayed to Kardashian that they've made a lot of progress and that West's counsel and her counsel have cooperated. He said they are straightening out the paperwork and rolling with it fast like "a European train."
The judge asked, among other things, if she had problems and disputes with West that led to the dissolution of the marriage. She answered, "Yes." The judge also asked whether time and counselling would save the marriage. Kim replied, "No." She was also asked if it is her desire for the courts to grant her legally single. Kardashian responded, "Yes."
Kardashian's maiden name was then restored without opposition.
The court's decision comes a day after ET learned that Kanye had changed divorce lawyers. Christopher C. Melcher no longer represents the rapper, and Samantha Spector has been hired. In a statement to ET, Kanye said, "I’ve asked my team to expedite the dissolution of my marriage to Kim so I can put my entire attention to our beautiful children."
Kim, who filed for divorce from Kanye in February 2021 after six years of marriage, had been adamant that being declared legally single "will help Kanye to accept that our marital relationship is over and to move forward on a better path which will assist us in peacefully co-parenting our children."
