Kim Zolciak’s ill-fated marriage to Kroy Biermann crumbled due to their mounting financial woes, according to reports.
“The Real Housewives of Atlanta” alum this week filed for divorce from the former NFL star, listing April 30 as the date of their separation.
And according to sources close to Zolciak, the Bravolebrity had been planning to pull the plug on the pair’s union for “a long time.”
“She had not told anyone, not even family,” an insider told People. “She didn’t tell anyone, even [her] friends were kept in the dark.”
It was reported this week that Zolciak and Biermann owe the IRS more than $1 million, according to TMZ.
Legal documents obtained by the outlet reveal the couple owe $1.1 million for unpaid taxes, interest and penalties from 2013, 2017 and 2018.
Zolciak, 44, and Biermann, 37, also owe the state of Georgia $15,000 for unpaid taxes for 2018, according to the report.
“The money has been a huge issue,” the source added. “The million-dollar tax [payment] was just way too much pressure on them.”
Another insider told the outlet that the soon-to-be exes are not cordial with each other at this time.
“There’s no cheating on either side. The money has a lot to do with the split, but there were other factors,” the source said. “He’s been managing [the family] for a long time, so he technically did have a job. They’re not on good terms right now.”
Earlier this year, Zolciak and Biermann’s Georgia mansion entered foreclosure before being put up for auction in February after they had defaulted on a $1.65 million loan they took out for the home in 2016.
She previously had denied the Alpharetta estate was in foreclosure, telling “haters,” “I’m here until I f–king want to move out. ‘Til I decide I don’t want to live here anymore.”
The pair eventually figured out a workaround to be able to keep their plush pad.
