The 40-year-old Kardashians star and rapper are set to end their seven-year marriage by mutual agreement

Kim teamed up with the Grammy-winning rapper in an elaborate ceremony in Italy in 2014

The couple then welcomed four children together Daughter North, seven, son Saint, five, daughter Chicago, two, and one year old son Psalm

Kim is due to seek joint legal and physical custody of the children, and according to TMZ, Kanye is happy with the agreement and they both pledge to become parents together

It is also reported that neither party denies the preparations and that the former couple is already far from reaching an agreement on property settlement

The divorce papers were reportedly filed by Laura Wasser, but they do not indicate the date of the separation

Their divorce comes after reports that the estranged couple have been separated for months

The reality TV star has not been seen wearing her engagement ring in the past few weeks as she is staying with her four children in LA

Meanwhile, Kanye has spent most of his time at his newly acquired $ 14 million ranch in Wyoming

Her seven-year union went far from going smoothly as Kim was publicly humiliated last year after Kanye – who lives with bipolar disorder – announced on Twitter that he was divorcing her

It got so bad that Kim had no choice but to get on a plane and fly to the ranch in Wyoming, where he’s been hiding to solve her problems

Kim had to pick up the pieces after Kanye continued to tweet some cutting remarks about her family – from branding mom Kris Jenner as a “white supremacist” to cracking down on his wife

During her crisis talks with Kanye, Kim was portrayed crying as they sat in a car to discuss what was going on between them and it appears that everything is taking its toll on her

He alleged he and Kim were considering aborting their daughter, North, and accused his wife and mother, Kris Jenner, of trying to imprison him

Kanye has since apologized publicly to Kim on Twitter, writing, “I want to apologize to my wife Kim for going public about something that was a private matter”

He added, “I didn’t cover her the way she covered me. To Kim, I want to say that I know I hurt you Please forgive me thank you for always being there for me”

The eyes of the world were on Florence in 2014 when the showbiz couple tied the knot in an incredibly lavish ceremony with only A-listers as guests

The two were not satisfied with just one ceremony in one city, but divided the wedding between Paris and Florence

The Kardashian / Jenners and guests flew to Florence, Italy to hold their ceremony in a 16th century fortress Century as this was the city they conceived North in

Despite the multi-million dollar wedding, their love story doesn’t seem to last

Before Kim tied the knot with Kanye, he was married to NBA player Kris Humphries

Next came a bitter divorce between the two after their whirlwind romance was documented on her family’s E! Reality show

While most of Kim’s love life has unfolded in front of the cameras, her very first marriage to rapper Damon Thomas actually took place before she found fame

In 2000, before her reality TV days, Kim escaped with Damon.She was only 19 years old at the time, and they were officially divorced by 2004
