Kim Zolciak files for divorce from Kroy Biermann after 11 years of marriage

Kim Zolciak has filed for divorce from husband Kroy Biermann after 11 years of marriage, TMZ reported Monday. 

According to legal docs obtained by the outlet, the “Real Housewives of Atlanta” alum, 44, lists April 30 as the date of separation between her and the former NFL star.

A rep for Zolciak had no comment when reached by Page Six. 

The two — who tied the knot on Nov. 11, 2011 — share four kids: Kroy Jagger, 11, Kash, 10, and 9-year-old twins Kane and Kaia. 

Zolciak is also mom to Brielle, 26, and Ariana Biermann, 21, from previous relationships. Kroy adopted his now-estranged wife’s daughters when they were minors.

Less than a year ago, Zolciak celebrated her 11-year wedding anniversary by sharing the NSFW secret to maintaining their marriage in an interview with E! News. 

“If you’re asking for a secret, lots of sex,” Zolciak joked. 

However, she added, “I think one of the biggest secrets is also communication. Choosing to love that person day in and day out, I think it’s a choice and a lot of times people are just so quick to throw in the towel.”

Meanwhile, Kroy told the outlet that reality TV hadn’t negatively impacted their union.

“Whether you’re married on camera or a regular person married, I don’t think there’s any difference,” he said at the time. 

“And I think when things get tough, people don’t want to stay true to their vows and stay true to their partner,” Kroy elaborated.

“They’d rather just say screw it and try it on the next one, but you got to hold true to your promises that you gave that person when you were standing in front of your friends and family.”

News of Zolciak and Kroy’s split comes mere hours after TMZ reported that they owe the IRS more than $1 million. 

Legal documents obtained by outlet show that the pair owes $1.1 million for unpaid taxes, interest and penalties from 2013, 2017 and 2018.

The “Tardy for the Party” singer and the 37-year-old athlete also owe the state of Georgia $15,000 for unpaid taxes for 2018, per the report.

The bills come after Zolciak and Kroy’s Georgia mansion entered foreclosure and was put up for auction in February after they had defaulted on a $1.65 million loan obtained in 2016.

Zolciak and Kroy eventually put a plan in place to remain in the Alpharetta estate. 

While details of what led to their breakup are currently unknown, fans may pick up on hints of trouble in paradise when Zolciak makes a cameo on “RHOA” Season 15. 

She left the hit Bravo reality show after five consecutive seasons in 2012. 

Zolciak and Kroy eventually secured their own wedding spinoff, “Don’t Be Tardy for the Wedding,” in 2012. The limited series eventually evolved into “Don’t Be Tardy,” which ran for eight seasons until it was canned in 2020. 

In the midst of filming her unscripted family series, the Kashmere Kollections founder returned as a “friend of the Housewives” in “Atlanta” Season 10 — during which she memorably sparred with mainstays NeNe Leakes and Kandi Burruss. 

“The Real Housewives of Atlanta” airs Sundays at 8 p.m. ET on Bravo.
