Kim Kardashian drops ‘West’ from Instagram as she is legally single

Kim Kardashian has cut the “West” from her surname on Instagram after legally changing her name.

Now the TV personality has gone back to her original name on her Instagram account.

The Keeping Up With The Kardashians star, 41, was declared legally single in the midst of her divorce from Ye, 44.

On the same day the reality star was declared legally single, her ex launched another attack on her new lover Pete Davidson, 28.

Kanye West sent shockwaves through the showbiz circuit with a cartoon music video where he decaptitated and buried the comedian alive.

The makeup mogul showed support for her new love when she liked a post defending him after the music video hit headlines.

In his defence, she liked the Twitter post from American filmmaker James Gunn which read: “For the record, Pete Davidson is one of the nicest, sweetest guys I know. A truly generous, tender & funny spirit, he treats everyone around him with respect.”

The exes were married for six years and they had four wonderful children together - North, Saint, Psalm and Chicago.

Now Kardashian and West must divide their properties and agree on the custody of their children.

It comes after the mum-of-four divulged the reasons behind her divorce as she said, “I’ve chosen myself.”

“For so long, I did what made other people happy,” she told Vogue magazine in February. “And I think in the last two years I decided, I’m going to make myself happy. And that feels really good. And even if that created changes and caused my divorce, I think it’s important to be honest with yourself about what really makes you happy. I’ve chosen myself. I think it’s okay to choose you.”

She added: “My 40s are about being Team Me. I’m going to eat well. I’m going to work out. I’m going to have more fun, spend more time with my kids and the people who make me happy.”
