Kim Kardashian files for divorce from Kanye West

Reality TV star and businesswoman Kim Kardashian filed for divorce on Friday, February 19 from her husband of nearly seven years, rapper Kanye West, multiple sources confirmed.

A representative for Kardashian and a spokeswoman for the Los Angeles County Superior Court both confirmed the filing, NBC News reports.

Their now-pending divorce wasn't a surprise to reality TV fans, as the pair had been living apart, NBC's "Today" reported in January.

Kardashian, who is of Armenian descent, disclosed over the summer that the couple had been struggling with West's bi-polar disorder.

She and the multi-Grammy winner West, 43, tied the knot during an elaborate 2014 ceremony in Florence, Italy, about a year after her divorce from former NBA star Kris Humphries was finalized.
