Kim Kardashian ‘IS filing for divorce from Kanye as she ditches $1.3M wedding ring and hires celeb lawyer Laura Wasser’
KIM Kardashian and Kanye west are reportedly getting a divorce following a tumultuous year for the couple’s marriage.
Multiple sources have confirmed to Page Six that the Keeping Up With The Kardashian star is “done” with the rapper as the pair have “lived separate lives” in recent months.
“Divorce is imminent. They are keeping it low-key but they are done,” an insider said.
“Kim has hired Laura Wasser and they are in settlement talks,” it was added of the go-to attorney for celebrity breakups.
Laura – who has been dubbed the “disso queen” – has represented Kim with her past 2013 divorce to NBA star Kris Humphries.
She has also repped Angelina Jolie’s highly publicized split from Brad Pitt and is currently handling Kelly Clarkson’s nasty breakup from ex Brandon Blackstock.
Kim and Kanye tied the knot in a luxurious Italian wedding in May 2014.
The pair had been friends for years and Kanye even stood by his future wife during her brief marriage and eventual divorce to Kris Humphries.
Before she found global fame, Kim also married Damon Thomas from 2000 to 2004.
While this was Kim’s third marriage, it was the first time Kanye got down on one knee.
Together, the pair share daughters North, 7, and Chicago, 2, along with sons Saint, 5, and Psalm, 1.
The reality star has not been seen wearing her $1.3 million engagement ring in recent weeks as she stays with their four children in Los Angeles.
Meanwhile, Kanye, 43, has been at his Wyoming ranch as the couple “live separate lives.”
Although he was primarily absent over the past few months, it was reported that Kanye and Kim planned to reunite at the Wyoming ranch for Christmas.
However, he has not been seen with Kim, 40, or her famous family as they gathered in Lake Tahoe for the holiday celebration.
The SKIMS founder shared a series of photos from the Kardashian’s Christmas that included mom, Kris Jenner, brother, Robert Kardashian and sisters Kourtney, Kylie and Kendall.
Kanye did not appear to be present at the gathering as he did not appear in any of the snaps.
In fact, Kim has not shared a snap with her husband since November 22nd.
Nearly three months ago, she posted about the 10-year anniversary of the hip hop artist’s My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy album.
Kanye’s failed presidential bid reportedly put a strain on their marriage after the Yeezy mogul yelled on stage he previously wanted to “abort” his first daughter, North West.
In the weeks following his explosive presidential rally in South Carolina last July, Kanye took to Twitter to allege he has been trying to divorce Kim for over “two years.”
He also called both his wife and mother-in-law “white supremacists” during a multi-week Tweeting spree.
Kim later stood by her husband and opened up about his struggle with bipolar disorder.
