Brielle Biermann Shuts Out Adoptive Father Kroy Ahead of November Wedding Amid Deepening Family Divide
Brielle Biermann is moving full speed ahead with her walk down the aisle, but her adoptive father, Kroy Biermann, will not be giving her away.
The 29-year-old reality television personality has completely cut the former NFL player out of the planning loop for her upcoming November wedding to professional minor league baseball player Billy Seidl. The rift is so severe that Kroy remains entirely oblivious to any logistical details regarding the nuptials.
The sudden estrangement marks a dramatic turning point for a family once defined by public displays of unity on reality TV.
“Kroy has zero idea about the wedding. He has no clue about any details. Brielle does not want him there.”
The cold shoulder is hardly one-sided. Kroy has reportedly made no effort to check in, request an invitation, or repair the rift before the ceremony takes place.

Why Kroy Biermann Is Cut Out of the Guest List
For months, questions swirled over whether family tension would keep Kroy from attending the autumn celebration. Brielle previously addressed the fragile dynamic publicly, noting that communication had completely broken down.
“I haven’t really spoken to Kroy. It’s in the air, ever changing.”
A widespread public misconception was that Brielle’s wedding might serve as an olive branch to bridge the divide between estranged family factions. In reality, the pending event has only reinforced existing boundaries, leaving the former football linebacker fully on the outside looking in.
The wedding standoff is the direct byproduct of a bitter falling out involving Brielle, her younger sister Ariana Biermann, and Kroy, sparked by the chaotic separation between Kroy and their mother, Kim Zolciak.

From Legal Adoption to Bitter Fallout
The estrangement is particularly striking given the legal history between Kroy and Kim’s oldest daughters. Kroy tied the knot with the Real Housewives of Atlanta star in a lavish Georgia ceremony in 2011.
Although Kroy is not Brielle’s biological father, he formally stepped into the role by legally adopting both Brielle and Ariana in 2013. The family documented their shared lives across multiple seasons of television, portraying a close-knit bond.
That foundation fractured permanently during an acrimonious split between the parents that began in early 2023.

Inside the Contested Divorce Filings
The dissolution of the 12-year marriage has been marred by repeated filings, public accusations, and failed reconciliation attempts in Georgia legal courts:
- May 2023: Kroy filed for divorce in a Fulton County courthouse, citing a breakdown in the union.
- July 2023: The initial divorce petition was abruptly dismissed as both parties attempted to reconcile.
- August 2023: The brief truce collapsed, prompting Kroy to refile divorce paperwork stating the marriage was “irretrievably broken.”
The ongoing legal battle ultimately split the household into opposing corners, leaving the adult daughters aligned with their mother.

Family Custody and Living Realities
Beyond his severed connection with his adult adoptive daughters, Kroy currently maintains primary physical custody and primary decision-making authority over the four minor children he shares with Kim. These children include twins Kaia and Kane, 12, Kash, 14, and KJ, 15.

| Ariana Biermann | Estranged from Kroy; siding with mother Kim Zolciak |
| Kim Zolciak | Locked in contentious, ongoing divorce proceedings with Kroy |

While Kroy manages daily responsibilities for the younger kids, the family has faced intense outside pressure from escalating legal proceedings involving their oldest son.

Mounting Legal Troubles for the Household
Adding to the tension surrounding the upcoming Brielle Biermann wedding, the family has been grappling with serious criminal charges leveled against 15-year-old KJ Biermann.
KJ was taken into custody on August 17 in connection with an incident involving a female classmate dating back to April. On September 3, a grand jury officially indicted the teenager on seven felony counts.

The indictment charges include:
- Aggravated child molestation
- Aggravated sodomy
- Aggravated sexual battery
- False imprisonment
- Three counts of aggravated sexual battery against a child under 16
KJ entered a plea of not guilty to all charges. After spending a month behind bars at the Metro Regional Youth Detention Center in Atlanta, he was released on a $200,000 bond under strict judicial conditions.
Under the court-ordered release terms, the teen must reside at Zolciak’s home, attend all school courses virtually, and remain entirely prohibited from using cell phones, accessing social media platforms, or participating in organized sports.
With serious legal battles underway and old family bonds broken beyond repair, Brielle is carving her own path forward as she approaches her wedding day.
