Kim Kardashian West wants to be over and done with her marriage to Kanye West.
In new court documents obtained by TMZ, the billionaire beauty boss admitted their union was unsalvageable despite his grandious displays for forgiveness and to win her back.
‘No counseling or reconciliation effort will be of any value at this time,’ the court documents state. ‘Irreconcilable differences have existed and continue to exist between [Kanye] and me, which have caused our marriage to irretrievably break down.’

Kim filed to be legally single and have her maiden name restored in documents registered on Friday, and is patiently awaiting a judge to sign off on the paperwork to designate her a single woman.
The Keeping Up with the Kardashians star added: ‘I have been attempting to settle our dissolution with [Kanye] since I filed for divorce in February 2021.
‘I have requested several times that [Kanye] agree to bifurcate and terminate our marital status. [He] has not responded to my request.’
‘[Kanye] and I both deserve the opportunity to build new lives. Therefore, I am asking that my request to bifurcate and terminate our marital status be granted.’

Just last week, Kanye begged for Kim to ‘run right back to me’ amid their divorce during a Free Larry Hoover concert on Thursday which she attended.
Perhaps the most interesting thing to note in the recent filing is that Kim wants her maiden name restored, which means dropping West from her moniker despite her businesses, like KKW Beauty and KKW fragrance, using her married initials.
The legal move is 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 with plenty of celebrity clientele.

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 before her filing, 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.

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.

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.’

A source previously told People that Kim and Kanye’s marriage ‘has been broken for a long time.’

‘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.
