Kim Kardashian is now legally single amid ongoing divorce with Kanye West

• A judge granted Kim Kardashian's request to legally change her marital status to single.
• She will also be dropping "West" from her name and will be legally known as Kim Kardashian from now on.

Kim Kardashian is officially single, according to a California judge.

At a Wednesday court hearing, a judge granted Kardashian's request to dissolve her marriage before her divorce from Ye, formerly known as Kanye West, was finalized, Entertainment Tonight reported.

She will drop her ex-husband's last name and will be known as Kim Kardashian from now on, according to ET.

This new ruling does not mean her divorce with Ye is final, just that her marital status is now legally "single."

In a statement obtained by Insider on Wednesday, Ye's lawyer, Samantha Spector, said in part that the rapper-entrepreneur "was always in support of the divorce."

"Ye is focusing his entire attention to their children," the statement continued, in part.
