Ariana Biermann, known for her appearances on reality TV shows like ‘Don’t Be Tardy’, recently opened up about the complexities and emotional toll of her parents’ divorce. The 23-year-old reflected on her experiences while speaking with PEOPLE, alongside her Next Gen NYC co-stars on July 9.
In the candid interview, Ariana shared that she sometimes ‘unintentionally’ finds herself taking sides in her parents’ ‘battles’ amidst their ongoing divorce proceedings. The daughter of Kim Zolciak and Kroy Biermann expressed her struggle to navigate the situation, stating, “I’m trying to find my way still in the middle of it without disrespecting anybody or making anybody upset.”
Reflecting on her parents’ relationship, Ariana emphasised the profound love she witnessed between them. She acknowledged the sadness that comes with witnessing the dissolution of their marriage, saying, “I love my parents’ love. I know people have a lot of opinions about it, but it was really such a pure, honest love.”
The former Real Housewives of Atlanta star, Kim Zolciak, and ex-NFL player, Kroy Biermann, initially filed for divorce in April 2023 after over a decade of marriage. While they briefly reconciled in July that year, Kroy later filed for divorce a second time in August 2023, leading to an ongoing legal battle over custody arrangements for their children.
Ariana, who was adopted by Kroy in 2013 along with her sister Brielle, shared insights into the challenging nature of the divorce proceedings. She acknowledged the difficulties of witnessing her parents go through such a public and tumultuous split, highlighting the impact it has had on her relationship with her father.
Kim Zolciak has also addressed public speculation surrounding the divorce, refuting claims that her estranged husband had misused their finances. Speaking on Kristin Cavallari’s podcast, Kim defended her financial independence, asserting, “I’ve made way more than Kroy. I’ve worked my a– off to provide for my family and my children.”
The divorce saga between Kim and Kroy has continued to unfold amid allegations and legal disputes. Despite the challenges, Ariana remains resilient and focused on navigating her way through the complexities of her parents’ separation while maintaining her own emotional well-being.
As the custody battle and legal proceedings persist, Ariana’s story sheds light on the lasting impact of divorce on families and the importance of finding resilience and support during times of upheaval. Her honesty and vulnerability offer a glimpse into the personal struggles faced by children caught in the midst of their parents’ separation.
