Kim Zolciak has filed for divorce from former Montana Grizzlies star Kroy Biermann after more than 11 years of marriage. TMZ, which obtained her divorce papers, reported that the divorce was finalized on April 30.
Zolciak, 44, desires joint legal and primary custody of the children. She is also pursuing alimony and will resume using her maiden name rather than Zolciak-Biermann.
Zolciak was a breakout star on Bravo’s “The Real Housewives of Atlanta” in 2008, departed the series during its fifth season, and launched her own spin-off series, “Don’t Be Tardy,” which ran for eight seasons until 2010.
She made a fleeting return to “Housewives” during the ninth season, was a recurring character during the tenth season, and then departed once more. According to a recent trailer, Zolciak will make a brief appearance on the Sunday-returning 15th season of the program.
She met Biermann, now 37 and a native of Hardin, while filming “Housewives” in May 2010; their initial attraction was documented on camera at a season three charity event.
“I’ve never in my life seen an (expletive) like that,” she gushed to her future husband upon their first encounter, admiring his butt. “I felt compelled to tell you. Adorable.”
They wed 18 months later, and the ceremony was broadcast on Bravo in a special titled “Don’t Be Tardy for the Wedding,” which led to the creation of the spin-off series “Don’t Be Tardy.” Four of their children are featured in the program.
From 2008 to 2015, Biermann participated in eight seasons with the Atlanta Falcons.
When the payments from Bravo ceased, the couple was forced to confront a financial crisis. This year, the couple nearly lost their Alpharetta mansion to foreclosure.
Additionally, TMZ recently reported that they owe the IRS $1,100,000 in delinquent taxes, interest, and penalties from 2013, 2017, and 2018.
Biermann, a three-sport standout at Hardin, excelled as a linebacker in football, garnering first-team all-state recognition twice before enrolling at Montana.
In 2007, he was awarded Big Sky Conference Defensive MVP honors and was UM’s first Buck Buchanan Award recipient. His 32 sacks rank second in school annals.
Biermann was also an Eastern A wrestling champion and state runner-up at 215 pounds, and he was a hurdler and jumper for his high school track team.
