Kim Zolciak and her formerly estranged husband Kroy Biermann are giving marriage a second try.
The 45-year-old Don’t Be Tardy star has filed to dismiss her divorce filing against the 37-year-old athlete on Friday, according to documents obtained by TMZ.
The feeling appears to be mutual, as sources close to the couple also shared that Kroy plans to file his own paperwork to dismiss his divorce petition.
The reunion comes after the couple reunited in public on Sunday for the first time since their divorce filings to take their four youngest children to church in Atlanta.
The sources added that the animosity between the two has disappeared, and they are now getting along much better.

They added that their four youngest children — sons KJ, 12; Kash, 10; and Kane, nine; along with his twin sister Kaia — are one of the biggest motivators for them to find a way to stay married.
The sources also claimed that Kim and Kroy’s love for each other was never in doubt, and they still have plenty for each other.
However, that is a shocking turnaround after sources previously claimed to TMZ in June that the couple ‘hate each other.’
In May, shortly after Kim first filed for divorce, they were said to be ‘avoiding each other,’ even as they continued to live together in their Atlanta mansion.
It’s unclear what exactly changed between the couple that helped pull them back from the brink.
Their Sunday reunion with their youngest children now appears to be a signal that they were ready to get back together.
Despite the bickering between the two, who have clashed over parenting and Kim’s alleged gambling issues, they were civil enough to take the children out for some food after the service.
The couple’s united front came as sources revealed that the duo were prioritizing their children, despite their heated divorce.

‘Despite everything Kim and Kroy are going through, they will always put their children’s needs above all else,’ an insider told Us Weekly. ‘That’s their No. 1 priority no matter what and what will help them coparent moving forward.’
‘Regardless of how they feel about each other, they’re determined to remain amicable when it comes to their kids,’ the source added.
The fact that the two now want to stay married is even more shocking considering that they had to get law enforcement involved in their bickering recently.
In June, Kim called 911 on Kroy and claimed that he had accused her of kidnapping their oldest son KJ, TMZ reported.
She told the operator that she had allowed a friend to take their son to a playdate at a rodeo, but after Kroy learned of the trip, he allegedly threatened to file a kidnapping charge against the woman who took KJ to the rodeo.
‘He has harassed not only the mother but my son is shaking and hysterically crying and I’m just going to pick him up but I don’t know what else to do at this point,’ Kim claimed on the call.
‘It’s petty and I hate to call the police on it… I don’t think this is going to be the end of this to be honest,’ she added.
Kim also accused her soon-to-be ex-husband of stealing one of her handbags that had divorce papers in it on the call.
The couple have also been beset by money woes in recent months.
Late in June, Kim was sued by Target National Bank, the organization that runs Target credit cards, for allegedly failing to pay a $2,482.24 balance on her card.
Just days earlier, Kroy found himself in hot water when he was sued by a casino credit line in the Bahamas.
He had taken out a line of credit for more than $100,000 for a gambling trip in the Bahamas, but then never paid the money back, according to a copy of the lawsuit obtained by TMZ.
Gambling issues appear to be at the center of the issues between Kim and Kroy. Amid their ugly divorce, a years-old tweet from her oldest daughter Brielle resurfaced in which she claimed her mother kept her waiting in their car for hours as she gambled until 3 a.m. after driving to a casino in North Carolina.
In May, Kroy claimed in court filings that his estranged wife has a gambling ‘compulsion’ and has been spending large amounts of money on the habit in recent years.
He also alleged that the time she spends gambling makes it impossible for her to properly care for their children, and he request to the judge overseeing their divorce that she undergoing a psychiatric evaluation.
Kim filed for divorce on May 8, 2023, but close watchers of the family had sensed trouble for some time as they fought back reports that their Atlanta mansion was being foreclosed on.
The couple also allegedly owe over $1.1 million in unpaid taxes, amid reports that they did not pay in 2013, 2017 and 2018.
