LOS ANGELES — A judge on Wednesday declared that Kim Kardashian is legally single, granting the reality star’s wish to move on from her seven-year marriage to Grammy-winning rapper Kanye West. She has also officially and legally dropped the “West” from Kim Kardashian West.
The “Keeping Up With the Kardashians” star, 42, appeared in Los Angeles Superior Court for a bifurcation hearing via video call, according to the Associated Press. West, 44, who has changed his legal name to Ye, was not present.
Superior Court Judge Steve Cochran sent lawyers for the former couple into the hall outside a downtown Los Angeles courtroom to finalize paperwork, including a name change form for Ye, AP reported, then said he would declare Kardashian single.
