'Real Housewives' star Kim Zolciak rebuilds life as estranged husband takes surprising career turn

"Real Housewives of Atlanta" star Kim Zolciak and her estranged husband, Kroy Biermann, have been going through a messy divorce since 2023, but they are moving on in their personal lives. In May, Biermann – a former Atlanta Falcons football player – filed for divorce from the reality star after nearly 12 years of marriage. Zolciak countered with her own divorce petition filed hours after his, but the couple briefly reconciled until he refiled in August of that same year. Biermann was seeking sole legal and physical custody of their four children: Kroy, Kash, and twins Kaia and Kane. Biermann adopted Zolciak's adult daughters from a previous relationship, Brielle and Ariana Zolciak-Biermann. The couple married in grand fashion with a spin-off show highlighting their November 2011 nuptials. They then received their own family-focused program based on their rowdy antics, "Don't Be Tardy." Over the last two years, the couple's divorce proceedings have turned messy. There have been accusations of drug use, unfit parenting and financial issues. In June, Zolciak's daughter said she would "pray literally every night" for her parents to get back together. "I think at this point though, unfortunately, there is too much damage to be done," Ariana Biermann said on Gia Guidice's podcast, "Casual Chaos." Ariana mentioned at some point "we're all gonna have to go to court and give our testimonies and witness statements and everything. And it's just the most insane thing ever." She admitted that her parents' divorce has made her become closer to her mom and older sister, Brielle. "This whole situation of everything brought me and my mom and my sister closer. And we're kind of like the three best friends, which I'm really grateful for," Ariana said. Now, it appears that Kim and Kroy are making moves in their personal lives two years after initially filing to end their union. Biermann has ditched the professional athlete life to take on a career in sales. The Superior Rigging and Erecting Co. in Atlanta lists Biermann as an employee in crane and rigging sales. TMZ reported that Biermann has been working for the company since 2024, but he has been moving up the ranks since he got his foot in the door. Zolciak took to Instagram this week to share a collage of images from the past few months. She explained that she moved into a new home and announced that two of her television shows premiered: "Got To Get Out" and "Plastic Surgery Rewind." "My twins graduated 5th grade!! Can't believe I'll have 3 in Middle School and Kj in High School. "I spent time with friends. I spent time with my family. I'm forever grateful for each and every single day. So many exciting things happening and I can't wait to share with you," she captioned her post. "I spent time with friends. I spent time with my family. I'm forever grateful for each and every single day. So many exciting things happening and I can't wait to share with you." To celebrate her 47th birthday in May, Zolciak shared a series of bikini photos on Instagram and explained that she "feels the best" she has in years. "I want to say thank you for so much for all the birthday wishes and love I received yesterday. "I'm forever grateful and blessed to have so many amazing humans in my life. 2025 has been incredible already. I can't believe I'm 47! Funny how old that seemed when I was 27! I feel the best I have in years and honestly, I had no idea what peace was until this past year," she captioned her post at the time. Zolciak appears to have also rekindled her relationship with her parents post-separation from Biermann. On July 21, Kim's daughter, Brielle, posted a picture to her Instagram story with her mom and her grandparents, Karen and Joe. "Nana & poppy!!!!!!!!!" Brielle captioned the photo along with a heart emoji. "Been WAY too long!" In 2017, Zolciak explained why she hadn't spoken to her parents in years. "I have not seen my parents in over six years. "They recently just sold another 'story' to a tabloid, which is one of the reasons why I stopped communicating with them in the first place. I learned some people never change," she said on "The Daily Dish" at the time. During the interview, she explained that she never discouraged her oldest daughters from having a relationship with her grandparents. "I will never discourage Brielle or Ariana or any of them to not have a relationship with their grandparents or whoever they choose to have a relationship with," she said at the time.

Kim Zolciak, 47, strips down to tiny bikini after revealing ALL the plastic surgery she has had done

Kim Zolciak took to Instagram Stories on Sunday to show off her figure in a stringy black bikini. The 47-year-old mother-of-six — who just detailed all her cosmetic surgeries — posed in a close-up mirror selfie revealing her busty chest as she modeled a triangle top with tiny white bow accents. The former Real Housewives of Atlanta star showed off her slim waistline in the swimwear's matching thong bottoms. Her long blonde hair was thrown into a carefree updo as she wrote, 'Suit on... on the way out the door to get a little sun then [rain emoji].' She rocked an almond-shaped French manicure and wore rectangular black-rimmed eyeglasses in the picture. Zolciak appeared on a recent episode of Botched Presents: Plastic Surgery Rewind. She and her 28-year-old firstborn daughter Brielle spoke candidly about going under the knife to change their appearance. Kim listed multiple procedures, including the 'mommy makeover' she underwent in 2014, which consisted of a tummy tuck and a breast lift. 'I've done my boobs a few times. Then I had a tummy tuck. I did have filler in my lip. I do Botox all the time,' she said. In addition to Brielle, she is also mother to Ariana, 23, Kroy Jr., 13, Kash, 12, and twins Kaia and Kane, 11, whom she shares with estranged husband Kroy Biermann. 'I sacrificed my body for six incredible humans, so I did a mommy makeover. Just because you're a mom doesn't mean you have to let yourself go,' she explained of her decision to surgically enhance her figure. Kim also shared that she used Ultatherapy, a non-surgical treatment that performs a lift and tightening on the skin, to shape her jaw. She also divulged her non-cosmetic medical history, sharing that she addressed a herniated disc with a neck surgery. However she made no mention of her 'laser vaginal rejuvenation,' which she underwent in 2023 amid her divorce and her reported money problems. Kim disclosed that her reason for going on the Botched spin-off was that she had been hoping 'to go under the skin and tighten it up' with a contouring procedure that ended up having the 'opposite' effect of the one intended. Explaining the thinking behind her extensive surgeries, she said: 'My mom always said growing up, if I had really big ears or a really big nose that bothered me or whatever it may have been, she would have fixed it.' Kim, who had Brielle and Ariana while in previous relationships before they were adopted by Kroy, added: 'I've always kind of said the same thing to my girls.'

Kim Zolciak reveals every plastic surgery she's had including 'mommy makeover' after six kids

Kim Zolciak of The Real Housewives of Atlanta fame has finally laid out all the plastic surgeries she has undergone over the years. The 47-year-old has drawn attention for indulging in such enhancements as Botox and fillers despite reportedly owing more than $1 million in taxes and fees. Over the past couple of years, she has also repeatedly hit the headlines for her rancorous ongoing divorce from former NFL star Kroy Biermann. But now the mother of six has shone a light on a different part of her life, while appearing on a new episode of Botched Presents: Plastic Surgery Rewind. She and her eldest daughter Brielle, 28, spoke frankly about their past experiences of going under the knife to change their appearance. Rattling off a laundry list of procedures, Kim made special mention of the 'mommy makeover' she underwent in 2014, including a tummy tuck and a breast lift. 'I've done my boobs a few times. Then I had a tummy tuck. I did have filler in my lip. I do Botox all the time,' said Kim, who is mother to not just Brielle but also Ariana, 23, Kroy Jr., 13, Kash, 12, and twins Kaia and Kane, 11. 'I sacrificed my body for six incredible humans so I did a mommy makeover. Just because you're a mom doesn't mean you have to let yourself go,' she argued. Kim also shared that she subjected her jaw to Ultatherapy, a non-surgical treatment that performs a lift and a bit of tightening on the skin. She even touched on some of her non-cosmetic medical history, explaining that she addressed a herniated disc with a neck surgery. However she made no mention of her 'laser vaginal rejuvenation,' which she underwent in 2023 in the midst of her divorce and her putative money problems. Kim did disclose that her reason for going on the Botched spin-off was that she had been hoping 'to go under the skin and tighten it up' with a contouring procedure that ended up having the 'opposite' effect of the one intended. Explaining the thinking behind her extensive surgeries, she said: 'My mom always said growing up, if I had really big ears or a really big nose that bothered me or whatever it may have been, she would have fixed it.' Kim, who had Brielle and Ariana through previous relationships before they were adopted by Kroy, added: 'I've always kind of said the same thing to my girls.' 'I'm here because I'm going through a divorce and I've had some weight loss and I'm a small-frame person. The 10 pounds have definitely created some loose skin.' On the same episode, Brielle pointed the finger at her mother when she discussed her history of dramatic cosmetic procedures. In a clip for Botched Presents: Plastic Surgery Rewind, the 28-year-old said that it was her mom who took her to her very first lip filler appointment. Brielle also said that Kim — whose other daughter Ariana claimed had been stealing her teen modeling earnings with her estranged husband Kroy Biermann — would take her to her own cosmetic procedure appointments and speak openly of all her touchups in front of her children, which influenced her own attitude toward abundant dermal filler use. has reached out to representatives for Kim and Brielle for comment. While speaking with the plastic surgeon Dr. Terry Dubrow, the nepo baby — who revealed a rapidly reversed desire to dissolve her lip filler at the start of 2020 — admitted that she wanted to reverse the affects of her numerous filler procedures, including deposits around her cheek bones that she thought were overly plump and asymmetrical. She also shared the shocking confession that getting filler injections became so common for her that it was 'like getting a Diet Coke.' 'I had just turned 18 when I first got my lips done,' Brielle admitted as Dubrow's mouth dropped open in shock. 'I graduated high school and the second I graduated, my mom took me to LA and I got my lips done by the doctor [that] everybody was getting their lips done [from] at the time. Dubrow interrupted to ask if the other doctor showed any hesitation about giving lip fillers to an 18-year-old patient. 'No, it was like, "Get in the chair, let's go,"' she recounted. In a cut to a separate talking head–style interview, Dubrow cautions providers to be wary of using filler on young patients, as the substance — which is often used to erase the visible signs of aging — can instead make young patients look prematurely old. According to the Cleveland Clinic, fillers tend to be synthetic or naturally occuring substances that are injected to smooth out lines and plump skin, particularly around the mouth, eyes or even nose. Fat from a patient's body can even be removed and then injected into their face to create a fuller appearance in the chosen spot. Although Brielle has expressed disappointment about her overly plump lips multiple times in recent years, it was filler under her eyes — around her cheek bones — that seemed to trouble her most. Ironically, Kim claimed in an interview with Dubrow in the same clip that she had counseled her oldest daughter to steer clear of under-eye filler, despite having allegedly played a role in normalizing other filler procedures for her. 'I told her to never do that under her eyes,' the former Real Housewives Of Atlanta star claimed, adding that she and Brielle were on the same page about regrets over the procedure. 'But, sometimes you've got to let them go and learn on their own, even though I was like, "Please don't."' Brielle admitted that she was happy with the under-eye filler at first, but now she found it to be 'so puffy,' with one side looking 'more full than the other.' I was always going with her to her doctors appointments. I feel like she was mostly getting every laser you could think of to remain youthful. So then every month, 'I'm like I need to get my lips done. 'Filler became like getting a Diet Coke,' she admitted. 'The under-eye filler just became like an insecurity that I didn't even really know I had.' Brielle noted that she had been a reality television fixture since she was 10 years old, and the clip then cut to an excerpt of an earlier show in which she received a luxury handbag as a birthday present. Kim, who looks dramatically different from her current appearance, hams it up and shouts at her daughter to 'smile' to show that she's happy about getting the present she asked for. In a confessional interview, Brielle admitted that Kim 'was always going to get botox and lip filler, and watching my mom go through this kind of just made it seem normal.' As evidence of Kim's openness about her cosmetic procedures and surgery, an old clip was included in which Kim boasts, 'The next time you see me, I'll have a new set of t***ies.' Brielle claimed she would eventually get 'hit up' by doctors offering her free injections and free surgeries on the condition that she post about the work she had done on social media to help advertise their practices. Because of those offers — and the money she made as a result of her social media posts to show off their work — she became hyper-fixated on any perceived imperfections with her face. 'Anything I saw that I felt like I could go fix, I would go and I would fix it!' Brielle admitted. She previously admitted at the beginning of 2020 that she had decided to dissolve all of her lip filler because of how dramatic her pout had become by late 2019. However, months later she added back some filler and revealed that she had wanted fuller lips since she was a teen because many of her friends had plumper lips than she did, and her mother concurred about her voicing that desire. Then, in 2023, Brielle shared a before and after photo comparing her overly plump 2019 lips with her still plump but considerably more natural lips at the time. 'Bit of a personal post,' she captioned her post. 'All I'm gonna say is if you start to get lip filler… Go to someone who will tell you no.' The beauty continued, 'At that time in my life (on the left) I had too many chefs in the kitchen… I went to too many injectors, none of which would tell me no!' In 2023, Brielle shared a before and after photo comparing her overly plump 2019 lips with her still plump but more natural lips at the time. She warned any fans who wanted lip fillers to 'go to someone who will tell you no' She admitted: 'I would be injected, get used to the new size of my lips, and then think I needed more. I still love some filler but listen to someone who went through it… Do not get overfilled!' Kim's appearance with her daughter comes after she and her estranged husband Kroy Biermann were forced out of their mansion near Atlanta last month by police amid their financial woes and dramatic divorce conflict. Other stars who will be featured on the Botched spinoff include Danity Kane singer Aubrey O'Day, former Playboy model Kathy Brown, Love And Hip Hop: Atlanta star Jessica Dime, 90 Day Fiancé star Larissa Santos Lima and multiple influencers, including Sebastian Bails, Sophia Elgerabli and Alan McGarry. The new show is hosted by Michelle Visage of RuPaul's Drag Race fame, along with Botched fixtures Dubrow and body-image expert Dr. Spirit, PhD. Botched Presents: Plastic Surgery Rewind premieres on E! on Wednesday, July 9, and it will be available to stream on Peacock seven days after it airs on television.

Kim Zolciak's daughter Ariana enjoys luxury vacation in Bahamas... after claiming mom 'took' her money

Kim Zolciak's daughter Ariana Biermann has been enjoying a luxury vacation in the sun-drenched Bahamas this month. The nepo kid has been posting string bikini pinup photos while on the beach as she enjoys some fun away from her home state of Georgia. The younger sister of Brielle Biermann looked to be having the time of her life as she was nicely made up with her long light brown hair worn down over her bare shoulders. It appeared as if the 23-year-old influencer did not have a problem in the world. But Ariana has recently complained about financial problems that were caused by her Real Housewives of Atlanta mother. In late June The Next Gen NYC star gave some insight into the money she lent her mother Kim. Ariana said it was used for mom's bad habits. Ariana said during a visit to Watch What Happens Live: 'I'm going to be telling my truth and my story, and this is what's happening,' she said. But it was not just her mom who took her cash. 'I would like to very much clarify. Everybody wants this to be just my mother. This was a joint partnership in taking the money,' Ariana said. She added that she gave Kim, 47, and her estranged husband Kroy Biermann notice that she would be discussing the topic on Next Gen NYC. Andy Cohen asked Ariana if she had 'figured out how much money' her parents spent. 'No, and I don't really want to know,' Ariana replied, explaining that 'the only time my mom asks me for money is if it's regarding the bills or it's something that she needs for the kids.' Later in the episode, Cohen asked Ariana what the biggest misconception about Kim and Kroy's relationship is. 'Well, for some reason right now everyone thinks they're getting back together,' she said. 'Which is absolutely insane.' And she made it clear that Kim would pay her back when she gets back on her feet. Earlier in June, Ariana dropped a bombshell on the premiere episode of her new reality show, Bravo's Next Gen NYC, claiming her mother and stepfather Kroy Biermann spent all of her hard-earned money. The influencer revealed she started making significant income from brand deals and sponsored social media posts as early as age 14—but alleges her parents wiped it out. 'I was doing like three posts a week and you get paid astronomical [sic] to do a story or to do an Instagram post, and I made quite a bit of money,' she said. But Ariana has recently complained about financial problems that were caused by her Real Housewives of Atlanta mother 'But, unfortunately, my parents took my money.' Since filing to end their nearly 12-year marriage in May 2023, Kim and Kroy have been embroiled in a nasty legal battle over their Georgia mansion, custody of their four minor children, and financial support—with Kroy previously accusing Kim of gambling away $1.5 million. Now Ariana is adding fuel to the fire, saying she discovered her money was 'gone two years ago.' 'I don't even know how much money I made over the time period,' the reality star admitted. 'Nobody was honest, there was no transparency and I have no idea where it actually went.' She added that she 'can't say exactly' what her parents spent it on. Ariana also revealed that the ongoing family drama has taken a toll on her relationship with boyfriend Hudson McLeroy—particularly when her mom reaches out for financial help. 'Sometimes I don't tell Hudson when she's asking me for something because she' going through this crazy divorce and living with four kids,' she admitted in a confessional. 'I get it and I never want money to destroy the relationship with my family,' she added. Kim and Kroy met in 2010 and married in 2011. Zolciak and Biermann have four children: Kroy Jr., 14; Kash, 12; and twins Kane and Kaia, 11. Biermann adopted Zolciak's older children from previous relationships — Brielle, 28, and Ariana — when they were minors in the couple's earlier years. Their relationship took a turn in 2023 with divorce filings and legal battles, with Kroy filing for divorce for a third time in February 2025
