'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.

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.

Iran's Supreme Leader spends his days sleeping and getting high, Mossad-linked account says

Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei spends all day sleeping and using drugs while most of the country lacks access to clean water and electricity, according to a social media account linked to Israel's national intelligence agency.

"How can a leader lead when they sleep half the day and spend the other half high on substances?" the Mossad's Farsi account wrote Friday on X. "Water, electricity, life!"

"Consuming drugs and conversing with spirits are not desirable traits for someone leading a country," the account wrote on July 9.

The post came from a new X account with a premium subscription created last month, claiming to be the official Mossad spokesperson in Farsi — the official language of Iran — though the Israeli intelligence agency has not officially confirmed the account's affiliation.

The account has made several posts over the last month about Khamenei's health and the state of Iran, including its lack of clean water, electricity and education.

"To everyone contacting us through private messages, for your own security, please ensure you are using a VPN," the account's bio reads.

A post on the account addressed the designation of the newly appointed, but officially unnamed, commander of the Khatam al-Anbiya Central Headquarters, which is the command headquarters of the Iranian Armed Forces.

After the Tasnim News Agency, Iran’s semi-official news agency associated with the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, reported that Iran would not reveal the commander’s identity for his protection, the Mossad-linked account said it already knew the name and urged Iranians to send in their guesses.

The account responded to the "lucky winner" who guessed the name Ali Abdollahi Aliabadi and told him to "contact us privately to receive your prize."

The satirical jabs and provocative claims coming from the account are unlike the way the Mossad usually communicates with the public, but two intelligence experts told JFeed, an Israeli news outlet, that the unusual Mossad-linked account appears to be authentic.

"Some of the information it has shared could only have come from Mossad," Beny Sabti, an Iran expert at Israel’s Institute for National Security Studies and a former IDF Persian-language officer, told the outlet.

Khamenei's alleged drug use has been suggested in the past, with an Iranian academic saying in 2022 that the Iranian Supreme Leader often uses drugs.

"Many viewers do not know this, but Khamenei himself uses drugs," Nour Mohamed Omara said on Muslim Brotherhood-affiliated TV in Turkey at the time.

"He has a special village in Balochistan, where the drugs used by the leader are produced," the academic added. "This village is run by the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps and no one is allowed in."

The Ayatollah publicly declared drug use as "un-Islamic" after the 1979 Iranian Revolution. Penalties for drug-related offenses can include death.
