Kim Zolciak and Kroy Biermann’s gold leafed love story is coming to a close. Or rather, Kim is slamming that book shut and tossing it in a drawer before the feds can find it. Kim and Kroy have been married for almost 12 years. During that time, they have inundated us with their over-the-top lifestyle on their reality show, Don’t Be Tardy, selfies with them hanging all over each other and protestations that they are totally in lust with each other, dammit. And now we find out that maybe their union wasn’t as rock solid as Kroy’s impressive biceps? Color me shocked.
Kim Zolciak-Biermann and Kroy Biermann’s marriage is reportedly over.
The Bravo stars called it quits after nearly 12 years of marriage, according to TMZ.
The pair’s date of separation has been listed as April 30, per court documents obtained by TMZ. In the filing, The Real Housewives of Atlanta star described her marriage as “irretrievably broken with no hope of reconciliation.” Zolciak-Biermann is seeking primary physical custody of their children and joint legal custody; she has also asked for spousal support and the restoration of her maiden name.
Zolciak-Biermann previously denied reports of trouble in her marriage with Biermann in 2016 when rumors of friction surfaced after the now-retired NFL player was cut from the Buffalo Bills.
“These f—ing idiots that write this s— in the tabloids, all for clicks on your website,” she said at the time. “You say that Kroy and I are ‘at war’ because he’s home with me so much? Newsflash, a–holes: He played for the Atlanta Falcons for eight years so he’s always been f—ing home! Yahoo!”
She added, “On a more serious note, I really don’t appreciate people talking s— – especially s— that’s not true because I have the most incredible husband in the world.”
Zolciak-Biermann even said she was “married to the king,” also calling Biermann “the most incredible human that’s ever walked this planet.”
Even though Kim filed because her marriage was, “irretrievably broken with no hope of reconciliation,” Hollywood Life reported that the couple is still living in that big ol’ Atlanta manse they’re clinging on to by claw or by crook. There’s plenty of room, I’m sure they just pick a room and shout MINE! Plus, they probably had to sell off all their belongings to keep the house, so there’s nothing to throw at each other.
This is about money, too. Kim’s filing is very specific. She filed on May 1 and cited April 30th as their separation date. Guess what else got filed on May 1? A $1.1 million tax bill the couple owes to the IRS. The IRS doesn’t care if you’re a Bravolebrity, just ask Al Capone. So even though Kim and Kroy pulled some grift to get their mansion off the auction block, they aren’t dancing around that tax bill. And that isn’t the end of their issues. They owe the state of Georgia $15,000 as well. Apparently Kroy was the family’s manager. So with Kim’s filing dates, it looks like she’s trying to legally maneuver herself away from some of the fiscal responsibility. But Kroy’s petition just dropped and his said that Kim “must maintain all financial documents… including all income records, tax records, expense records and more.” So they are blaming each other. Plus they both want sole physical custody of their minor kids, they have Brielle, 26, Ariana, 21, Kroy, 11, Kade, 10 and twins Kaia and Kane, nine. Kim wants joint legal custody and Kroy wants sole legal custody. This is getting messy fast.

She is a gross person in every way
Sole legal custody is interesting. But if it’s true she’s blown all their money gambling, he is right to want to protect the kids’ interests. Kim will have them all over a bravo/peacock spin-off and be pocketing the salaries before he blinks
I feel so unbearably sad whenever I see her daughter (I think it’s Brielle but I can’t be sure). She was an absolutely beautiful young lady before the surgery. She looks like the definition of plastic now.
I really feel for the second daughter, Ariana? She had seemed like a somewhat intelligent teenager, doing well in school, speaking in whole sentences, but then I don’t know what happened exactly, but the poor kid got influenced by her mother & older sister & went their route–plastic surgery to face & body, spending time shopping & instagramming & staring into the mirror/camera. It just seems like such an empty life. Neither girl now shows any sign of independence. Troy seemed decent while he was still playing football, then when it was over, he, too, got sucked into Kim’s Way of the World & became her ken doll.
Not surprised when I saw that they owed millions in taxes. I figured they would split and were either going to try to hide money or blame each other.
I would say give him the kids, but he was OK with her grooming and becoming another pimp mama K. Is there a third option for the kids someone else who can take kids and not exploit them.
I guess his money was not as long as she thought it was. Even her grown ish children were changing their last names to capitalize off his.
Wow, there is a pattern happening more so now with all these trashy reality people, I refuse to call them stars, in the beginning they all showed off their lifestyle, how rich they were, wanting the attention, when they hit rock bottom from living way above their means, they now whinge how we are all bothering and hassling them, no we are not, we just can see through the bulls%&#t and knew it was fake along
Who will be next
That does seem to be the running them amongst Bravo shows–that guy in OC who pretended to have cancer; Jen Shah who tricked seniors out of their money; these numpties; whatshername in NYC who went on & on about her ex’s granddaddy JP Morgan. Who else? Luann from NYC, didn’t her kids sue her for something? Their egos all got the better of them.
Don’t forget Theresa Guidice.
Her and her ex husband both did hard time for their tax trickery lol
Coming Fall 2023 “Don’t be tardy for Kim’s divorce party!” Only on Bravo! I want to say Andy Cohen should burn in hell these awful shows, but we the public watch them so I guess its on us too.
I have to say I think she played him. He looks like a dumb, nice guy. But once the money ends, why go on? You really CAN’T go on, can you, Kim?
He was a grown man when they met and is fully responsible for his own choices. Including overspending. Which Kim did not do on her own.
This could be yet another celeb publicity stunt to get another reality show to pay off the debt you created. I’ll just sit back and wait for an actual divorce.
