Real Housewives of Atlanta star Kim Zolciak-Biermann and her husband Kroy Biermann are getting divorced after being married for around 12 years. The court documents mention the date of separation as April 30, 2023, and Kim said in the documents that the marriage is completely broken without any expectations for reconciliation.
Kim has requested primary physical custody and joint legal custody of their children alongside spousal support and restoration of her original surname.
The former couple has been going through some financial issues following the foreclosure of their property in Georgia. Fulton County issued a notice in February 2023 stating the property would be auctioned in front of the Fulton County Courthouse as the pair failed to repay a loan worth $1.65 million.
Meanwhile, a close friend of Kim revealed that she had been planning her separation from Kroy for a long time but didn't tell anyone else about it. Another friend stated that their financial problems were also a reason behind their separation and that both sides have been loyal to each other all these years.
