Kim Kardashian is officially cutting ties from Kanye West as she files to be legally single amid her romance with Pete Davidson
The mother of four filed to change her marital
status amid her ongoing divorce from Kanye "Ye" West on
Friday, Dec. 10, a source confirms to E! News.
According to TMZ, the documents state that Kim wants
to become legally single while she and the rapper continue to iron
out details pertaining to child custody and property division.
Additionally, the KKW Cosmetics guru
wants to drop the surname West and revert to her maiden name.
Kim initially filed for divorce citing "irreconcilable
differences" on Feb. 19. She requested joint legal and physical of their
four children, North, Saint, Chicago and Psalm.
The exes were seemingly making progress on their
separation, with Kim buying their shared Hidden Hills, Calif. home for
$23 million in October. However, by November, Kanye was saying that he
still considers her his "wife," remarking
on Revolt TV's Drink Champs that there "ain't no
paperwork" stating otherwise.
He added, "I ain't never even
seen the papers, we're not even divorced... That ain't no joke to
me. My kids want their parents to stay together. I want us to be
together."
Though Kanye isn't ready to give up
on his marriage, the Keeping Up With the
Kardashians alum has started dating Saturday
Night Live comedian Pete Davidson.
A source close to Kim explained
that she "tried for a long, long time" to make their marriage work
but eventually "reached her breaking point." And now, she's ready to
enter the next chapter in her life.
Nonetheless, the 41-year-old reality
star is committed to co-parenting with the artist, even if she is dating. A separate source close to her recently told E!
News, "Kim likes keeping the peace between [herself] and
Kanye."
Meanwhile, Kanye is pulling out all
the stops to win back the SKIMS guru. At his "Free Larry Hoover"
benefit concert, which Drake participated in, the Graduation performer pleaded during his performance of the song
"Runaway," "I need you to run right back to me. More
specifically, Kimberly."
Numerous members of the Kardashian-Jenner family were in the audience, including Kendall Jenner, Kris Jenner and
the momager's boyfriend, Corey Gamble.
It seems his declaration of love
didn't pan out the way he hoped, as Kim filed to be legally single the next
morning.
E! News has reached out to their reps for comment.
