Kim Kardashian is eager to get the ball rolling in her divorce from Kanye West. A source tells Us Weekly that she is “hoping the divorce is settled soon” and that she’s “ready for that chapter to close for good.” Kim officially filed for divorce back in February 2021, asking for joint legal and physical custody of the couple’s four kids. More recently (December 2021, to be exact!), she filed a petition to be declared legally single and dropped “West” from her last name.

Kim’s rush to settle her and Kanye’s divorce comes amid a pretty turbulent weekend for the former couple thanks to a misunderstanding about their daughter Chicago’s birthday party. Kanye ended up attending the event despite saying he wasn’t invited and was spotted hanging with Kris Jenner:

A source told E! News, “Kanye was never not invited to the birthday party. Kim was under the impression he wanted to do his own celebration. She was fine about him coming to Kylie’s house and is happy the kids can see them together.” That said, “Kim and Kanye are not on good terms right now,” although “she’s really trying to keep the peace between them and for the sake of the kids.”

Kim actually explained the reason for her and Kanye’s divorce during the final season of Keeping Up With the Kardashians, saying, “I just think he deserves someone who will support his every move and go follow him all over the place and move to Wyoming. I can’t do that. He should have a wife that supports his every move and travels with him and does everything, and I can’t. I feel like a fucking failure. It’s my third fucking marriage. Yeah, I feel like a fucking loser. But I can’t even think about that. I want to be happy.”

Kanye’s made it clear that he wants to get back together with Kim in recent weeks, but he’s now in a relationship with actor Julia Fox.
