Kim Kardashian West has filed to be legally single and have her maiden name restored as the divorce process from Kanye West rolls on.
The 41-year-old SKIMS mogul filed the legal documents on Friday which will make her legally a single woman if signed off by a judge according to TMZ.
Perhaps the most interesting thing is that Kim wants her maiden name restored which means dropping West despite her businesses like KKW Beauty and KKW fragrance using her married initials.

This comes hours after Kanye begged Kim ‘run right back to me’ amid their divorce during a Free Larry Hoover concert on Thursday night which his estranged wife attended.
The legal move is basically asking the judge to separate the issues of child custody, property, and financial implications from actual marital status.
As Kim has enlisted celebrity attorney Laura Wasser, the decision to separate marital status from other issues not out of the ordinary for the lawyer who has worked plenty of other celebrity clientele.

He sang: ‘I need you to run right back to me. More specifically, Kimberly’
More than anything it allows anyone who is in the process of getting divorced to get on with their lives in being single and hash out other issues at a different time.
Hours earlier, Kim was in attendance at 44-year-old Kanye and Drake’s highly-anticipated concert for the Free Larry Hoover movement at Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum.
She was in the crowd when Ye raised eyebrows by performing an adlibbed verse to his hit Runaway specifically aimed at her. He sang: ‘I need you to run right back to me. More specifically, Kimberly.’
Pals again: No word yet if Kanye knew about the legal filing before it was made but he did look happy to be reunited with 35-year-old Drake in behind the scenes images from the concert as they proved their years-long feud was over
Moving on: Kim was seen leaving the concert with their eldest child North
No word yet if Kanye knew about the legal filing before it was made but he did look happy to be reunited with 35-year-old Drake in behind the scenes images from the concert as they proved their years-long feud was over.
The latest public plea for her to take him back has not seemed to work on Kardashian as a source told People on Friday that the SKIMS mogul ‘has moved on’ but ‘she knows it’s difficult for Kanye to deal with.
‘She isn’t surprised that he pleads in public for her to run back to him. She is just trying to be respectful about it.’
Just weeks ago Ye made a similar public plea as famously said that God will reunite him and estranged wife Kim as he admitted he’d made ‘mistakes’ in his marriage while serving meals at the LA Mission for Thanksgiving.

‘The narrative God wants is to see that we can be redeemed in all these relationships,’ the Grammy-winner said. ‘We’ve made mistakes. I’ve made mistakes’
‘The narrative God wants is to see that we can be redeemed in all these relationships,’ the Grammy-winner said. ‘We’ve made mistakes. I’ve made mistakes.’
He continued: ‘I’ve publicly done things that were not acceptable as a husband, but right now today, for whatever reason – I didn’t know I was going to be in front of this mic – but I’m here to change the narrative.’
Kanye spoke out on the status of the relationship as Kardashian’s new romance with Pete Davidson continues to make headlines.
Kanye, referencing the Kardashian family’s reality TV franchise, told those in attendance, ‘I’m not letting E! write the narrative of my family. I’m not letting Hulu write the narrative of my family … I am the priest of my home.’

West, who shares four children with Kardashian – North, eight, Saint, five, Chicago, three, and Psalm, two – said that parenting remains his most important priority amid the tumultuous time.
‘I have to be next to my children as much as possible,’ he said. ‘So, when I’m out the house, I’ve got a house right next to the house. I’m doing everything to be right next to the situation.’
The Grammy-winner added, ‘I’m trying to express this in the most sane way, the most calm way possible, but I need to be back home.’
Kim and Kanye wed at the Forte di Belvedere in Florence in 2014, where Kim donned a fitted gown with delicate white lace, custom-made by Givenchy Haute Couture.
A source confirmed to DailyMail.com in February that Kim has filed for divorce. ‘The split is amicable and there is no drama,’ the insider shared at the time.
Kim is asking for joint legal and physical custody of their four young children. It was claimed that neither will contest their prenup.

The tension reportedly started in July 2020 when Kanye decided to run for President of the United States and claimed he wanted North aborted but Kim refused. He also called Kim’s mother Kris Jenner ‘Kris Jong Un.’
A source previously told People that Kim and Kanye’s marriage ‘has been broken for a long time.’
‘Kim feels like she has done everything she can to save it. Filing for divorce is something she has been thinking about for a long time. She has also been dreading it. She really, really has done everything to avoid filing.

‘Last year, she hoped they could somehow work things out,’ they added. ‘In the past few weeks though, it has been clear that they are done. Although, there is still love, they are just too different and have different visions for the future.’
No doubt it will take some time to figure out how the assets will be split between the two parties.
Kim and Kanye purchased their Hidden Hills residence for $20 million in 2014, but did not move in until 2018 after investing $40 million in renovations.
An insider revealed to Page Six earlier this year that Kim reportedly owns the land, but Kanye owns the actual house.
Regardless of the monetary situation regarding the properties, Kanye does not have to worry so much about cash as in April he was officially declared a billionaire.

A Forbes Magazine article published on April 23 revealed how the rapper recently provided documents to the publication, giving them an ‘authentic numeric look into Kanye, Inc.’ to prove the feat.
However, the article notes that West was left unhappy with their research and findings – stating that he believes his net worth to be around $3.3 billion, rather than the $1.26 billion they have estimated.
‘It’s not a billion,’ West allegedly texted the publication Thursday night. ‘It’s $3.3 billion since no one at Forbes knows how to count.’
Kardashian also achieved billionaire status as in April she was named 2674th on the list of Forbes Billionaires.
