Kim Kardashian is now legally single over a year after filing for divorce from Kanye West.
A judge granted the reality TV star's request to end her marriage with the rapper, 44, on Wednesday, March 2, at the Los Angeles Superior Court.
Per BBC News, the ruling means the couple's marriage will be legally ended immediately. The SKIMS CEO's name will eventually be legally changed to Kim Kardashian - dropping the West.
More details regarding their assets and custody of their four children will be addressed in future proceedings.
Kardashian attended the hearing through a video conference while her divorce lawyer, Laura Wasser, appeared in person. West did not attend but was represented by his lawyer, Samantha Spector.
Last month, the mom-of-four asked that a judge sign off on her divorce because the rapper has failed to keep details of their divorce and family matters "private" and, as a result, has caused her "emotional distress".
Subsequently, West objected to Kardashian's request to be legally single, claiming that it could create "a risk of adverse consequences" and that it "creates barriers to obtaining evidence" if one of them decides to remarry before the case is closed.
During the hearing, Kardashian's lawyer Wasser argued against West's demands, while the judge also said that West's objections appeared to be "theoretical".
Spector noted they weren't trying to stop Kardashian from being legally single, but just "trying to make sure that Mr. West's rights were protected".
According to Billboard, the judge ultimately denied two of West's requests, including one that placed a restriction on Kardashian if she ever chose to remarry.
One of West's requests was granted, regarding what would happen to their children - North, eight, Saint, six, Chicago, four, and Psalm, two - if either of their parents dies before their divorce is finalized.
Kardashian last month said in court documents: "I very much desire to be divorced," and referenced the "misinformation" that the rapper has been spreading via his social media platforms.
"I have asked Kanye to keep our divorce private, but he has not done so," she wrote. "Kanye has been putting a lot of misinformation regarding our private family matters and co-parenting on social media which has created 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," Kardashian added.

Kim Kardashian has filed for divorce from Kanye West after seven years of marriage, TMZ reports, with their sources adding that it is an amicable split.
As part of the settlement, Kim wants legal and physical custody of their four children, with sources telling the news outlet that Kanye is happy with this arrangement and is committed to co-parenting his children with Kim.
The couple has a prenup which neither party is contesting, and sources have told TMZ that they are close to reaching an agreement about their property.
Per Buzzfeed News, a spokesperson for the Los Angeles County Superior Court stated that the divorce documents were filed on Friday (February 19), and that they did not list a date of separation; instead, it is registered as to be determined.
The papers were filed by celebrity divorce lawyer Laura Wasserdo, after Page Six reported last month that Kim had hired her.
The announcement comes after Kanye hit headlines throughout 2020 with a series of eccentric and offbeat public displays of behavior - including his announcement that he would be running for the Oval Office in the 2020 US presidential election.
At one "presidential rally" in July, the rapper told the crowd that Kim had considered aborting their then-unborn child North.
He then went on to take aim at the Kardashian-Jenner family on Twitter, referring to its matriarch, Kris, as "Kris Jong-Un."
After fans raised concerns over Kanye's bipolar disorder last year, Kim took to Instagram in July to address her husband's mental health.
Writing in July, she described her West as "a brilliant but complicated person, who on top of the pressures of being an artist and a black man, ... experienced the painful loss of his mother, and has to deal with the pressure and isolation that is heightened by his bi-polar disorder."

Kim Kardashian has finally made her relationship with Pete Davidson "Instagram official".
The reality star's romantic snaps come after a Los Angeles Superior Court judge granted Kim's request to end her marriage to rapper Kanye West (now known simply as Ye) on March 2.
On Friday (March 11), the 41-year-old KUWTK star took to the social media platform to share a number of photos - two of which featured the 28-year-old Saturday Night Live star.
In the first snap, the couple can be seen lying on the floor, as Davidson leans back looks up at Kardashian.
The other photo showed the pair smiling in a blurry black and white selfie.
The mom-of-four captioned the slideshow: "Whose car are we gonna take?!" - A reference to the 2010 movie, The Town. The post has since amassed over 4.9 million likes and over 58,000 comments from supportive fans.
BBC News reports how the mom-of-four asked that a judge sign off on her divorce from West due to the rapper failing to keep details of their divorce and family matters "private".
Over the last month, 44-year-old has repeatedly commented on his separation from Kardashian in his Instagram posts, which Kim says has caused her "emotional distress".
Kardashian last month said in court documents: "I very much desire to be divorced," and referenced the "misinformation" that the rapper has been spreading via his social media platforms.
"I have asked Kanye to keep our divorce private, but he has not done so," she wrote. "Kanye has been putting a lot of misinformation regarding our private family matters and co-parenting on social media which has created 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," Kardashian added.
Additionally, last week, West faced backlash after releasing the music video for his latest single, 'Eazy'.
In the accompanying music video, a stop-motion "Ye" appears to kidnap and bury a stop-motion figure that many believed closely resembled Davidson.
West also throws shade on Davidson in the song's lyrics, as he raps: "God saved me from that crash, just so I can beat Pete Davidson's a** (Who?)"
Kim filed for divorce from West back in February 2021. The couple had been married for seven years prior to their split. Together, they share four children: eight-year-old North, six-year-old Saint, 6, four-year-old Chicago, and two-year-old Psalm.

Kim Kardashian has revealed the personal change she's made that she says may have caused her divorce from rapper Kanye West.
The pair - who tied the knot in 2014 - began divorce proceedings last February, and she has since moved on with Pete Davidson, while he's dating actress Julia Fox.
In a new interview with Vogue for their March 2022 cover story, the reality TV star opened up about how learning to prioritize her own happiness contributed to her decision to split from the father of her four children.
"For so long, I did what made other people happy. I think in the last two years I decided I’m going to make myself happy – and that feels really good," she told the magazine.
"And 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," she added.
The mom-of-four went on: "My 40s are about being Team Me. I'm going to eat well. I'm going to work out. I'm going to have more fun, spend more time with my kids and the people who make me happy. I'm going to put my phone down."
She added: "Unfollow if I don't want to see something on Instagram. [My sister] Khloé [Kardashian] came up with the best phrase for that yesterday. She said, 'Post and ghost.'"
Her journey of self-discovery also impacted her fashion choices, which the rapper, 44, heavily influenced in the past.
"I always think, What will be next? Because I always had Kanye, who knew exactly what the next fashion era would be for me," she explained. "And there's something scary about being out there on your own, but also something so liberating."
"Who knows? I might just be in Skims and be so comfy and casual and wear no makeup, and that might be what I feel like representing to the world. Maybe it's just not that serious," she added.
Take a look at Kanye West's emotional post right here:
Shortly after the interview was published, West shared photos that were used for the interview.
The snaps featured Kardashian hanging out with her and the rapper's kids, while other pictures showed the reality star posing as the cover star.
"GOD PLEASE BRING OUR FAMILY BACK TOGETHER," the rapper captioned the collage of images.
The reality TV star has yet to respond to the rapper's plea.

According to the publication, last week, a source close to the couple said: "Kim and Kanye are arguing and at each other's throats during this pandemic."
"Kim is getting stir crazy, as she's used to being on the go. It's also a lot of time alone with the kids for her. She is frustrated with Kanye and thinks he's not pulling his weight in family responsibilities. They've been staying at opposite ends of the house to keep things civil," the insider continued, per the Sun Online.
Another source corroborated to Us Weekly, "Kim and Kanye have been arguing a lot during the quarantine. Kanye is really getting on Kim's nerves."

Now, Bookmakers Coral have gone so far as to speculate on the odds of a divorce. They told the Mirror Online that the latest odds for the couple to split in 2021 stands at 4-1, which means they believe that a divorce is likely.
At the beginning of April, the Keeping up with the Kardashians star admitted that she might have been irritating her husband. "I thought that he'd have a harder time with [social distancing], but he really does love staying home and watching movies and having my cooking and hanging out with the kids," she said.
"I think this time, we're just trying to take advantage of it and be positive," Kim continued, adding "I probably annoyed him organising every last thing in the house."
