ATLANTA — Former “Real Housewives of Atlanta” star Kim Zolciak and former Atlanta Falcons player Kroy Biermann have officially filed for divorce.
Fulton County Superior Court records show Biermann filed his petition on May 5 with Zolciak’s petition filed two days later on May 7. Both Biermann and Zolciak say the marriage is “irretrievably broken” with Zolciak adding there is “no hope for reconciliation.”
Each have requested different arrangements for custody of their four children: 11-year-old Kroy Jagger, 10-year-old Kash Kade and 9-year-old twins Kaia Rose and Kane Ren. Biermann legally adopted Zolciak’s daughters Brielle and Ariana from a previous relationship, but since they are adults, it’s not an issue in the divorce paperwork.
For the minor children, Biermann filed for sole legal and physical custody. Zolciak filed for joint legal custody, but primary physical custody. Both requested child support, alimony and “equitable division of all marital assets and debts accumulated during the marriage.”
As for the couple’s Alpharetta mansion, Biermann wants “exclusive, temporary and permanent use and possession” of the home.
Zolciak starred on “Real Housewives of Atlanta” main cast from 2008 to 2012 with guest returns throughout the years. Biermann played linebacker for the Atlanta Falcons from 2008 to 2015.
The couple met in 2010 and married a year later in November 2011. The couple’s life as a married couple was featured on their spinoff reality show “Don’t Be Tardy,” which lasted for eight seasons.
The divorce news came on the heels of a TMZ report that Zolciak and Biermann are in financial trouble. They apparently owe $1.1 million in unpaid taxes and their Georgia mansion went into foreclosure earlier this year. In his filing, the ex-NFL star requested Zolciak maintain all financial documents.
