A Los Angeles judge has granted reality TV star, Kim Kardashian’s request to be declared legally single from rapper Kanye West, after nearly eight years of marriage.
The businesswoman and star of “Keeping Up with the Kardashians” filed for divorce a year ago, citing irreconcilable differences with West, who had legally changed his name to Ye.
The couple has four children from ages two to eight.
West, 44, had objected to the divorce and publicly appealed for his wife to return to their marriage.
In recent Instagram posts, he criticized her parenting and her new relationship with “Saturday Night Live” actor Pete Davidson.
Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Steve Cochran approved Kardashian’s petition to end the marriage through a bifurcation proceeding, which allowed for a change in marital status while other issues were addressed.
