In recent court documents, filed on Feb. 23, Kardashian accused West of “putting a lot of misinformation regarding our private family matters and co-parenting on social media which hascreated emotional distress.”
“I believe that the court terminating our marital status will help Kanye to accept that our marital relationship is over and to move forward on a better path which will assist us in peacefully co-parenting our children,” the docs read, in part. “I ask that the Court restore me to the status of a single person so that I can begin the healing process and so that our family can begin the healing process and move forward in this new chapter in our lives.”
Kardashian recently opened up about her new life chapter in a cover story forVogue’s March 2022 issue, detailing the"changes" she made in her lifethat caused her and West to split.
“For so long, I did what made other people happy. And I think in the last two years I decided, I’m going to make myself happy. And that feels really good,” she said. “Even if that created changes and caused my divorce, I think it’s important to be honest with yourself about what really makes you happy. I’ve chosen myself. I think it’s okay to choose you.”
A sourcepreviously told PEOPLEthat Kardashian’s “friends are excited to see her genuinely happy” amid her relationship with Davidson, and that “everyone around her is just happy she’s happy.”
Addeda separate source: “Pete is great for Kim. During the past few months when they have been dating, Kim has been very happy. All the drama with Kanye is still difficult for her, but Pete cheers her up. They haven’t had any drama so far. It’s very refreshing for Kim.”
