To reach a settlement, Kardashian and West avoided a trial that had been set for next month.
Kardashian filed for divorce from West in February 2021, citing irreconcilable differences.
The couple started dating in 2012 and had their first child in 2013.
West proposed later that year using the giant screen at the San Francisco Giants’ empty waterfront park, and the two married on May 24, 2014, in a lavish ceremony in Florence, Italy.
Theirs would become one of the most watched celebrity unions in decades.
They seemed headed for an amicable split when Kardashian first filed for divorce.
Neither publicly discussed the split until earlier this year, when West began lashing out on social media against Kardashian, her family and then-boyfriend Pete Davidson.
Among his complaints were that he was not allowed to make major parenting decisions and was excluded from birthday parties and other events for their children.
West, who fired two lawyers from the divorce filing, also raised several technical issues and motions, including a request for the right to question any of Kardashian’s new husbands under oath, which Judge Steve Cochran denied.
In March of this year, Kardashian was declared legally single after she was granted an application to change her marital status.
In an interview with Vogue earlier this year, the Skims founder explained what led to her high-profile split.
“For so long, I did what made other people happy,” she said, adding that she decided “I’m going to make myself happy.”
She went on to say that “even though this created changes and caused my divorce, I think it’s important to be honest with yourself about what really makes you happy.”
“I chose myself,” she told the publication.
“I think it’s okay to choose you.”
In September, West, who later this year lost several business partnerships following a string of anti-Semitic comments, publicly apologized to Kardashian in an interview with Good Morning America for “any stress” he caused and provoked him.
“This is the mother of my children and I apologize for any stress I have caused, even in my frustration because God is calling me to be stronger,” West said.
