Kim Kardashian’s Legal Breakup From Kanye West: What You Need to Know
In a move that shocked the celebrity world, Los Angeles Judge Steve Cochran officially declared Kim Kardashian legally single from Kanye West on Wednesday, March 2. The “Kimye” duo, who tied the knot back in May 2014, are officially divorced after almost eight years of marriage.
How It All Began
- Kim, age 41, filed for divorce last year citing irreconcilable differences.
- Kanye, now 44 and legally known as Ye, fought the divorce and even tried to win his wife back on the court’s docket.
- Both have four little ones—aged two through eight—making family drama even harder to ignore.
The Court’s Decision
Judge Cochran used a bifurcation proceeding, a fancy legal term that lets the court split the divorce into two parts: ending the marriage first, while the rest of the settlement is tackled later on. “The Court grants termination of the marital status,” the judge wrote after a public hearing.
In short: Kim is officially single. Kanye’s fight against the divorce has been tossed aside for now.
What Kanye’s Social Media Looks Like
With the divorce stamped, Kanye has not been silent. He’s railing on Instagram, criticizing Kim’s parenting and her new D‑Date with Pete Davidson from SNL. He’s also been calling for a “reunion,” but the judge’s order means Kim’s side is set.
Why This Matters for the Kimye Fans
Once touted as the ultimate celebrity power couple, the Kimye saga has become a story about love that ends. It’s a reminder that even the most glamorous relationships can hit a rough patch—especially when one partner is dealing with bipolar disorder and the other turned down a presidential run with the Birthday Party.
What’s Next?
- The court will now focus on the practical stuff: division of assets, custody arrangements, and the rest of the divorce paperwork.
- Kim will probably focus on the kids and her brand, while Kanye will keep tweaking his music and personal life.
- Fans are hoping the two can still co‑parent smoothly and avoid the “Kimye” drama in the future.
While there’s still no word from Kanye’s side, the legal verdict is clear: Kim’s out, and the streets are open for a fresh chapter—both personally and publicly.
