Court documents rarely make for pleasant reading, but when they land on a celebrity divorce proceeding, things get messy fast. The latest chapter in the ongoing custody battle between Kim Zolciak, 48, and her estranged husband Kroy Biermann, 40, centers on an unexpected travel companion—and it’s raising serious questions about judgment calls during family trips.
According to court filings obtained by Us Weekly in early June, Biermann invited a woman described as an NSFW model on a Spring Break 2026 family getaway to Panama City Beach. The problem? The kids were there, and Zolciak had no idea the girlfriend was coming until after the trip wrapped. A letter from the mother of one of Zolciak and Biermann’s sons—who share KJ, 15, Kash, 13, and twins Kaia and Kane, 12—flagged the situation as a concern, citing the woman’s online presence and what the letter-writer viewed as an inappropriate influence around teenage children.
“The purpose of this letter is not to support the Biermann children being removed from the care of either parent,”the author wrote to the court-appointed guardian handling custody recommendations.“It is my hope that these children are able to have both parents as a part of their life, if possible.”That measured tone doesn’t hide the underlying frustration: imagine discovering your child’s other parent brought someone with explicit online content around them without disclosure or consent.
This latest allegation slots into a much bigger picture. Zolciak’s recent court filings claim that Biermann has been involved in multiple sexual relationships in recent months, with some partners staying at his residence and joining family vacations. She’s alleged that the children have reported not seeing their father“for hours on end, but hearing him engage in sexual acts with his girlfriend of the moment.”Biermann testified that the woman in question was merely a“friend,”per court documents.
The pair filed for divorce in May 2023, briefly reconciled, then returned to the court battle by August of that year. In March 2026, Biermann requested sole custody—a significant shift from their previous joint arrangement—and a judge approved a temporary parenting plan keeping the kids in his physical custody. Now, with fresh allegations stacking up, the custody fight shows no signs of cooling down. What happens next will likely depend on how seriously the court-appointed guardian weighs these concerns when making recommendations about where the children should primarily live.]
