Don't Be Tardy Looking Back at Kim Zolciak and Kroy Biermann's Romance Before Breakup
Things are no longer peachy between Kim Zolciak and Kroy Biermann.
After 13 years together, and 11 as a married couple, The Real Housewives of Atlanta star has filed for divorce from the former NFL player, according to documents obtained by TMZ. The date of their split is reportedly listed as April 30.
Citing that their relationship is "irretrievably broken with no hope of reconciliation," Kim is requesting primary physical custody and joint legal custody of their kids Kroy Jr., 11, Kash, 10, and 9-year-old twins Kane and Kaia, per the outlet. (Kim is also mother to Brielle, 25, and Ariana, 21, from a previous relationship.)
The breakup news may seem shocking to Bravoholics who have watched their romance blossom since meeting on season three of RHOA, in which they crossed paths during a local dance competition for charity event. One year after their first encounter, the pair exchanged vows in November 2011 and went on to star in their own Bravo spinoff, Don't Be Tardy…, which ended in 2020 after eight seasons.
From welcoming kids, moving homes, dealing with family drama and business ventures, Kim and Kroy have given fans a front-row seat to the ups and downs of their relationship for over a decade. They've also never shied away from gushing about their attraction for one another and posting steamy, PDA-filled photos on Instagram.
While Bravoholics mourn the loss of one of RHOA's longest-lasting couples, keep reading to look back at Kim and Kroy's happier moments.
Season 8 of Don't Be Tardy, premiering on Bravo Oct. 6, will see the Zolciak-Biermann family embark on a five-week, cross-country road trip!
Kim wished Kroy a happy 35th birthday with a lengthy, heartfelt and hilarious Instagram post.

"You amaze me daily somehow, someway everyday...although it's annoying that you know everything literally...you are the most INCREDIBLE DADDY on this planet, an incredible husband and I love every minute we spend together."
Brielle Biermann made her own Instagram post for Kroy's birthday, describing him as "the most amazing father & man I'll ever know."
"I couldn't imagine a life without your hardworking, selfless, loving, caring self!" Brielle continued. "I'm so proud of you and all you've accomplished...we had too much fun last night i forgot to post yesterday...love love you dad!"
The couple is never one to shy away from PDA!
