Television personality and entrepreneur, Kim Kardashian, has removed the surname 'West' from her official social media accounts, including Instagram and Twitter, after a court recently declared her 'legally single.' Kardashian was previously known on social media as Kim Kardashian West.

Kardashian was married to American rapper Kayne West for nearly seven years (2014-2022). Kardashian filed for divorce a year ago, citing irreconcilable differences with West. The former couple has four children: daughter North (8), son Saint (6), daughter Chicago (4), and son Psalm (1).

According to a Hindustan Times report, Kardashian reportedly wrote a declaration to the court last week, “I very much desire to be divorced. I have asked Kanye to keep our divorce private, but he has not done so. I believe that the court terminating our marital status will help Kanye to accept that our marital relationship is over and to move forward on a better path which will assist us in peacefully co-parenting our children.”

The couple, who began dating in 2012, married two years later in a lavish ceremony in Italy. Kardashian is now dating Pete Davidson, a 28-year-old comedian and actor.

Westt recently released a music video for his new song ‘Eazy’ in which he is seen abducting and burying a cartoon version of Davidson. Kanye rapped while sitting atop a coffin in the video. He also placed a bag over the head of a Davidson-like character before kidnapping and transporting him to an empty grave before burying the body.
