Are Kim Zolciak and Kroy Bermann Getting Divorced? 

Within two days of each other, Kroy and Kim filed for divorce from each other. The parties cited in their paperwork that their marriage was “irretrievably broken.” Shortly afterward, the estranged spouses started making nasty accusations against each other. Among the most outstanding allegations between them was Kim’s gambling problems, which allegedly contributed to the pair’s financial troubles. 

Despite duking it out in the courts for nearly two months, Kim filed to have their divorce dismissed in July. However, their reconciliation didn’t last long, and the former football player filed for divorce again in August. 

The following month, the former Real Housewives of Atlanta star asked a judge in September to dismiss Kroy’s second divorce filing. In her court documents, the reality TV star claimed that their divorce should not proceed because they were still having sex and living in their home. However, Kroy shut down Kim’s motion to dismiss the divorce by noting that he “has no desire to reconcile” with her. 

The Bravolebrities were scheduled to appear virtually in court on September 27, but Kim was absent because she was flying back from another country after shooting The Surreal Life. She and Kroy are now expected to return to the courtroom in person after the judge determines a new date. 

One of the more recent developments during their divorce proceedings involved Kim calling the police, claiming that Kroy took her phone and locked her out of their bedroom, according to 911 audio obtained by TMZ. In the call, she said that she didn’t feel “safe,” but couldn’t leave because she didn’t have a phone. “My husband has taken both my phones so I could not call you guys or leave the house, so that’s what I’m calling for,” she said. “He has kept them from me for hours.”
