According to court documents filed Tuesday, Ye and Kim Kardashian have agreed to their divorce, avoiding a trial scheduled for next month.
The ex-couple and their attorneys filed documents asking a judge to approve their agreed terms, including $200,000 per month in child support payments from Ye, formerly known as Kanye West, to Kardashian.
According to the documents filed in Los Angeles Superior Court, the two will have joint custody, and neither will pay the other spousal support.
At Kim Kardashian’s request, a judge declared the two legally single in March, ending their eight-year marriage, but property and custody issues remained, which were to be resolved in a trial beginning Dec. 14.
Ye and Kim Kardashian have four children aged from three to nine years.
According to the settlement proposal, Kardashian and Ye will split the costs of their children’s private security and private school, including college.
The settlement also stated that they would each pay their debts. The couple had a pre-nuptial agreement and kept their assets mostly separate.
The couple started dating in 2012, and their first child was born in 2013. Later that year, West proposed on the giant screen at the San Francisco Giants’ empty waterfront ballpark. The couple married on May 24, 2014, in a Renaissance fortress in Florence, Italy.
When Kim Kardashian filed for divorce in February 2021, it appeared that the two were on their way to a peaceful divorce on mutual terms.
Neither publicly discussed the breakup until early this year, when Ye began lashing out on social media at Kardashian, her family, and then-boyfriend Pete Davidson. Among his grievances were that he was not allowed to make major parenting decisions and was barred from attending birthday parties and other events for their children.
Ye, who has fired two lawyers since filing for divorce, also raised several technical issues and demands, including the right to question any new husband of Kardashian under oath, which Judge Steve Cochran promptly denied.
The agreement comes shortly after several companies severed ties with Ye over offensive and antisemitic remarks that further harmed an already tarnished public image.
His most recent attorney, Nicholas Salick, did not respond immediately to a request for comment on the settlement.
It was Kardashian’s third marriage as a reality TV star, businesswoman, and influencer, and Ye’s first marriage as a rap and fashion mogul. Theirs was one of the most closely watched celebrity marriages in recent years.
