Kim Kardashian will no longer use the last name West on her social media. She dropped the moniker from her Instagram and Twitter, as seen on Friday morning. The reality star received a barrage of encouragement from her millions of followers. She dropped this part of her name after a judge from Los Angeles restored her “single” status; after a divorce hearing on Wednesday.
She had applied for a divorce from rapper Kanye West in February 2021. Kim Kardashian remains single, while other issues such as child custody as well as property have to be resolved between both the billionaires.
Kim Kardashian recently moved on from her relationship with the rapper to a new one with Pete Davidson, who is a part of Saturday Night Live, in which she is reportedly very happy. Kanye had tried to woo her back with messages and a truckload of flowers on Valentine’s day. He has also taken several swipes with memes and offensive lyrics and names at her boyfriend Pete.
Kim, on the other hand, had earlier filed documents saying that Kanye had posted a lot of “misinformation” on social media about her and Pete. She said that the rapper’s attack on both of them gave her “emotional distress.”
According to a report in Rolling Stone, on February 23, Kim told the court that termination of their “marital status” would help the rapper to accept that their “marital relationship” was over. The filing also stated that they could then “move forward on a better path” that would be more peaceful as they co-parented their children. Kim and Kanye have four children together from their marriage.
A source told PEOPLE that Kim had considered herself “single for a while” and that she was relieved that she was also officially single, now. She was also looking forward now and wanted to finalize all aspects of the divorce.
The source also mentioned that 41-year old Kim was in a “very happy place now.” The source added that it took months for the KUWTK star “to get to this point and now Kim Kardashian could finally be relieved and happy.
