Kim Zolciak, star of “Real Housewives of Atlanta,” and her estranged husband, Kroy Biermann, have been entangled in a tumultuous divorce since 2023, but they are starting to move forward in their personal lives.
In May, Biermann, a former Atlanta Falcons football player, filed for divorce from the reality star after almost 12 years of marriage. Zolciak responded with her own divorce petition filed shortly after his, but the couple briefly reconciled until he refiled in August of the same year.
Biermann was aiming for sole legal and physical custody of their four children: Kroy, Kash, and twins Kaia and Kane. Biermann also adopted Zolciak’s adult daughters from a previous relationship, Brielle and Ariana Zolciak-Biermann.

The couple exchanged vows in a lavish ceremony with a spin-off show showcasing their November 2011 wedding. They went on to have their own family-focused program based on their lively escapades, “Don’t Be Tardy.”
Over the past couple of years, the divorce proceedings have taken a messy turn with allegations of drug use, unfit parenting, and financial issues.

In June, Zolciak’s daughter revealed that she had been praying every night for her parents to reconcile.
“I think at this point though, unfortunately, there is too much damage to be done,” Ariana Biermann expressed on Gia Guidice’s podcast, “Casual Chaos.”
Ariana indicated that at some stage “we’re all gonna have to go to court and give our testimonies and witness statements and everything. And it’s just the most insane thing ever.”
She confessed that her parents’ divorce has brought her closer to her mom and older sister, Brielle.

“This entire situation has brought me closer to my mom and my sister, and we’re like the three best friends, which I’m really thankful for,” Ariana stated.
Now, it seems that Kim and Kroy are making strides in their personal lives two years after their initial divorce filings.

Biermann has left behind his professional athlete career to pursue a sales job. The Superior Rigging and Erecting Co. in Atlanta lists Biermann as a crane and rigging sales employee.
TMZ reported that Biermann has been working for the company since 2024 and has been steadily advancing in his position since joining.
Zolciak shared a collage of images from recent months on Instagram this week, announcing that she has moved into a new home and that two of her TV shows, “Got To Get Out” and “Plastic Surgery Rewind,” have premiered.
“My twins graduated 5th grade!! Can’t believe I’ll have 3 in Middle School and Kj in High School.
“I spent time with friends. I spent time with my family. I’m forever grateful for each and every single day. So many exciting things happening and I can’t wait to share with you,” she captioned her post.

To celebrate her 47th birthday in May, Zolciak posted a series of bikini photos on Instagram, expressing that she “feels the best” she has in years.
“I want to say thank you for so much for all the birthday wishes and love I received yesterday.
“I’m forever grateful and blessed to have so many amazing humans in my life. 2025 has been incredible already. I can’t believe I’m 47! Funny how old that seemed when I was 27! I feel the best I have in years and honestly, I had no idea what peace was until this past year,” she captioned her post at the time.
Zolciak also seems to have reconciled with her parents after splitting from Biermann.
On July 21, Kim’s daughter, Brielle, posted a picture to her Instagram story with her mom and her grandparents, Karen and Joe.

“Nana & poppy!!!!!!!!!” Brielle captioned the photo along with a heart emoji. “Been WAY too long!”
In 2017, Zolciak explained why she hadn’t spoken to her parents in years. “I have not seen my parents in over six years.
“They recently just sold another ‘story’ to a tabloid, which is one of the reasons why I stopped communicating with them in the first place. I learned some people never change,” she said at the time.

During the interview, she explained that she never discouraged her oldest daughters from having a relationship with her grandparents.
“I will never discourage Brielle or Ariana or any of them to not have a relationship with their grandparents or whoever they choose to have a relationship with,” she said at the time.
