Kim Kardashian, who built a business empire as a reality television star, filed for divorce Friday from her husband of nearly seven years, Kanye West, appearing to end one of the entertainment world’s most famed unions.
The divorce petition was filed at the downtown office of the Los Angeles County Superior Court, with Kardashian represented by prominent divorce attorney Laura Wasser.
Kardashian disclosed over the summer that the couple had been struggling with West’s bipolar disorder.
Kardashian, 40, 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 the former NBA star Kris Humphries was finalized.
