Kim's rep confirmed to The Sun that she filed for divorce from her husband on Friday.

The Keeping Up With The Kardashians star is asking for joint legal and physical custody of the couple's four kids, TMZ reported. 

Sources close to the family told the outlet Kanye is "fine" with the joint custody arrangement as the couple is "committed to co-parenting together."

According to the insider, a prenup is already arranged to handle the pair's massive $2BILLION fortune and neither party is contesting the agreement.

It was added they've made it so far along in the legal proceedings, the couple is in the stages of reaching a property settlement agreement.

According to Forbes, the TV personality turned business owner is estimated to be worth around $900million.



Meanwhile, the Grammy-winning artist has a reported net worth of over $1.2BILLION due to his music and design career.

Before their big 2014 wedding, the pair hired lawyers to prepare a prenup in case of a divorce.

According to sources who spoke to RadarOnline.com back in 2014, the Skims founder would get $1million for every year they were married, capping at $10million.

The brunette bombshell would also keep their Bel Air home, which was put under her name, despite Kanye paying for most of it.

She will also get to keep all of the pricey gifts and jewelry were given to her by Kanye, including a $40,000 hand-painted Hermes bag, several Cartier bracelets valued at at least $35,000 each, and a neon green Mercedes-Benz G550 SUV worth at least $227,000.



Most famously, Kanye gave Kim two engagement rings – one was valued at $2million and the second one, which was stolen during the infamous Paris robbery, was valued at $4.5million.

Kim will get to keep all the money she made from the Kardashian clothing line, SKIMS, KKW, and promotional appearances as they are considered her sole and separate income.

It was also revealed that Kim would remain the beneficiary of one of Kanye's life insurance policies, which is valued at $20million – even if the two divorced.

Kim, 40, did not specify a date of separating and it's still listed as "to be determined."

However, their split has been well-documented on social media as Kim has lived in Los Angeles while Kanye, 43, stayed on his Wyoming ranch.




The SKIMS founder is being represented by her longtime attorney – celebrity "disso queen" Laura Wasser.

Following years of friendship, the A-listers tied-the-knot in a lavish Italian wedding in May 2014.

Together, they share daughters North, 7, Chicago, 3, and sons Saint, 5, and one-year-old baby boy Psalm.

While the Yeezy mogul has never been hitched before, this marriage marked the third time Kim had walked down the aisle.

She was previously wife to songwriter Damon Thomas in her early 20's and had an infamous 72-day-marriage to NBA player Kris Humphries in 2013.


The filing comes after sources close to Kim previously revealed she "began talks" to file for divorce from Kanye as early as July of 2020.

Last month, an insider exclusively revealed to The Sun that she’s taking her time with the split because she has gotten used to living “separate lives.” 

“The lack of urgency with Kim officially filing for divorce comes from her becoming so comfortable living a completely separate life from Kanye, it’s already like they’ve been divorced since last year,” the insider said.

The informant said that mom, Kris Jenner, has been “pushing the issue so they can get the legal matters over with” and move forward but “Kim doesn’t appear to be in a rush.”

As news of their breakup nearly broke the internet, the entrepreneur has kept her attention on her career, specifically her SKIMS and KKW empire. 


“Kanye hasn’t been in the picture for so long, she’s just really over it and wants to focus on her career and kids,” the source explained. 

A separate source exclusively told The Sun Kim found it too "difficult" to deal with his mental health battles.

"Their marriage has been very up and down. It’s been a huge challenge dealing with his mental health issues, his run for president, and while Kim has tried to support Kanye in every way her priority has become the children.

“This year has been difficult. Before things got rocky, Kanye had spoken with Kim about running for president many times, but she never really thought he’d do it."

Back in July, Kanye made a series of wild allegations against Kim and her family both on Twitter and during a presidential rally in July.



He claimed Kim considered aborting their eldest child North and alleged that he's been trying to divorce her for almost two years ever since she met Nicki Minaj's ex Meek Mill at a hotel.

The Yeezy mogul also accused the KUWTK star and her mom, Kris Jenner, of being a "white supremacists" and claimed they tried to "lock him up."

He called Kris "Kris Jong-un" – in reference to the North Korean dictator.

Kanye's failed presidential bid put a strain on their marriage, and led to them living at "opposite ends of the house" – and eventually in different states.

Kimye’s split is set to be one of the most expensive high-profile divorces in history due to their individual and combined fortunes. 


The most expensive came in 2019 as the richest man in the world, Amazon founder Jeff Bezos, divorced his wife-of-25-years, Mackenzie. 

While Jeff’s net worth is currently estimated to be near $200BILLION, he had significantly less money two years ago – but still enough to make his ex one of the wealthiest women in the world. 

Writer Mackenzie Bezos, 50, reportedly walked away with more than $36BILLION in the divorce and by last year – she announced she had already donated $1.7billion to charity. 

One of the largest Hollywood divorce payouts came in 2011 as movie star Mel Gibson gave up nearly half of his massive fortune.
