She submitted the paperwork on the grounds that the marriage “has irretrievably broken up, with no hope of reconciliation,” the outlet noted.
The star is demanding joint custody of their four children and primary custody.
The outlet also reported that she was filing for spousal support.
Kim also applied to have her maiden name legally restored.
According to a People source, the reason for their breakup appears to be primarily their financial woes.
The insider revealed that Kim has been planning to breakup with Kroy “for a long time” and hasn’t told anyone, not even family or friends.
‘Money was a huge problem. The million tax [payment] was just way too much pressure on them,” the source said.
Adding: “There is no cheating on either side. Money has a lot to do with the breakup, but there were other factors as well. He manages [the family] for a long time, so technically he had a job. They don’t get along very well right now.”
Kim and the former Atlanta Falcons NFL star first met in 2010 after crossing paths at the Dancing With Atlanta Stars charity event.
They tied the knot a year later, on November 11, 2011.
Once married, Kroy also legally adopted Kim’s daughters from her previous relationships, Brielle, 26, and also Ariana, 21, who the reality star shares with ex-husband Daniel Toce.
The split comes shortly after it was revealed that Kim and Kroy allegedly owe the IRS $1.1 million in unpaid taxes, penalties and interest, according to TMZ.
Kim and Kroy reportedly failed to pay in 2013, 2017 and 2018.
The reality stars also reportedly owe the state of Georgia $15,000 in unpaid taxes as of 2018.

In February, Kim took to social media to brag about her ornate living room with a dazzling chandelier — despite it being a reported foreclosure.
“This is definitely one of my favorite rooms to be called the Hollywood room,” the mother-of-six said in an Instagram video that panned around her salon.
She continued, “This chandelier is seven – almost eight feet wide and seven feet tall.”
The TV personality continued to muse on all the “funny” times her family shared in that space, before pointing out a shiny gold balloon stuck in the light fixture.
Her post comes the same day a source told People that the reality star is “telling everyone” the foreclosure “is a misunderstanding” and that she’s being “sorted out.”
“She’s not moving,” the insider added.
The TV personality and former NFL pro originally bought the home in 2012 for $880,000.
Her property now costs between $2.5 million and $2.6 million, according to the outlet.
The lavish estate was featured on both Real Housewives and Kim’s own reality show, titled Don’t Be Tardy, which aired for a total of eight seasons.

Truist Bank was asked to handle the foreclosure of the home, and action had reportedly begun as early as August when the couple defaulted on their $1.65 million mortgage.
According to TMZ, the five-bedroom, six-and-a-half-bathroom mansion is conveniently located near the 18th hole at Manor Golf and Country Club, just north of the bustling city of Atlanta.
The front of the house has a spacious circular driveway and is welcoming with impressive stonework to the outside.
Kim hosted the mansion on her own reality show, Don’t Be Tardy, which first aired in 2012, originally titled Don’t Be Tardy For The Wedding.
The 6,900 square foot home also includes a swimming pool with whirlpool, waterfall spa, basketball court and built-in elevator.
Late last November, in an Instagram Stories video, Kim had denied claims that her Georgia home was auctioned for just $257,000, while claiming she still owns it and has no plans to sell it any time soon .
The reality star also claimed the actual value of her home in the town of Alpharetta, Georgia was $2.5 million, or nearly 10 times what was reportedly auctioned.
However, Kim and her husband Kroy paid off their outstanding debts to keep their home out of harm’s way. At the time of the foreclosure threat, they reportedly owed $10,567.67. The foreclosure notice was served two years after the house was purchased in 2012.

Last year, the couple celebrated their 11th anniversary, and in an interview with E! News.
“If you’re asking for a secret, lots of sex,” Kim had humorously told the publication, adding, “I think one of the biggest secrets is also communication.”
“I think it’s a decision to love that person on a day-to-day basis, and a lot of times people just throw in the towel so quickly.”
Kroy spoke about having her life constantly on TV, but said: “Whether you’re married on camera or a normal person who’s married, I don’t think there’s a difference.
“And I think when things get tough, people don’t want to be true to their vows and they don’t want to be true to their partner,” she later added, “you have to keep your promises that you made to that person when you were standing.” in front of your friends and family.’
Discussing their daughters, Ariana and Brielle, who her husband legally adopted, Kim emotionally expressed, “They were 8 and 13 when Kroy came into their lives and it’s quite a spectacular union that they have.”
“They call him Dad and that’s all they know. He’s the only father figure they’ve had in their lives. He’s everything they know.”
