Kim Kardashian Moves to Change Children’s Last Names to “Kardashian”

Kim Kardashian is officially exploring legal steps to remove the surname “West” from her four children’s names. The 45-year-old SKIMS founder, who shares North (12), Saint (10), Chicago (7), and Psalm (6) with ex-husband Kanye West, is reportedly frustrated by the rapper’s prolonged absence from their lives. Sources close to the family claim that Kim has been raising the children “full-time” for months without input or contact from West, leading her to consider rebranding the children’s legal identities to align with the Kardashian empire.

The potential name change follows a series of escalating custody tensions. While the couple initially agreed to joint legal and physical custody after their 2022 divorce, Kim recently revealed on the Call Her Daddy podcast that it has been “a couple of months” since they last heard from Kanye. Insiders suggest that Kim is also preparing to file for sole legal custody, citing West’s erratic behavior and public outbursts as primary concerns for the children’s stability. In the latest season of The Kardashians, Kim fired back at West’s claims of being kept away, stating, “It’s a divorce, not a kidnapping.”

While no formal court filings for the name change have been made public yet, the move would represent a major shift in the family’s public and legal branding. Critics and fans alike have noted that names like “North West” were intentionally stylistic, making a shift to “North Kardashian” a significant departure from their original identities. As the legal battle intensifies, experts suggest that a name change would require West’s consent or a court order proving that the change is in the “best interest” of the children, a high bar in California family law.
