Kim Zolciak-Biermann’s Daughters Brielle and Ariana Forge a Drama-Free Relationship with Stepfather Kroy!
Even though their parents are getting divorced, Kim Zolciak-Biermann’s oldest children, Ariana Biermann, and Brielle Biermann, have no plans to stop talking to their stepfather, Kroy Biermann.
A source says that “all the kids are still in contact with Kroy,” including Ariana, who is 21, and Brielle, who is 26.
“There is no drama between Brielle Biermann, Ariana Biermann, and Kroy yet,” a person says. “They want to be close to him, and Kim agrees with that.”
In 2011, Kim, who was 44, and Kroy, who was 37, got married in Georgia. The couple went on to have four kids of their own, but in 2013, the former NFL player officially adopted Ariana and Brielle.
Kim filed for a divorce on Monday, after being married for almost 12 years. But a friend of the star of The Real Housewives of Atlanta told PEOPLE that she had been planning her breakup for “a long time.”
“She hadn’t told anyone, not even her own family,” said her friend. “She didn’t tell anyone, not even her closest friends.”
The friend did confirm, though, that “money has been a huge issue” for the former Don’t Be Tardy stars. Their money problems keep getting worse. Their Georgia home went into foreclosure, and they are said to owe the IRS more than $1 million in unpaid taxes.
“Neither side is going to cheat. “The money was a big reason for the split, but it wasn’t the only reason,” said another person. “He has been taking care of [the family] for a long time, so he did have a job. They aren’t getting along right now.”
TMZ has said that Kim wants main physical custody and joint legal custody of the couple’s four children: Kaia Rose and Kane Ren, twins who are 9 years old, and Kash Kade and Kroy Jagger, both 10.

Sources have also seen papers that say Kroy wants to have full legal and physical custody of their children.
“She’s not cutting the kids off from Kroy,” a person close to Kim said. “She wants him to be involved in their lives as their dad.”
