It's official. Kim is no longer keeping up with the Kardashians. The 33-year-old reality TV star has legally changed her name to Kim West, two and a half months after she tied the knot with rapper and leather jogging pants aficionado Kanye West in Florence, Italy.

Mrs West announced the name change to her 17 million Instagram followers by sharing her new glamorous, glossy passport photo and the helpful hashtags #MrsWest and #NameChange.

Yep. That's the star formerly known as Kim Kardashian's passport photo. Life's cruel, isn't it?

West isn't the first celebrity to change her name after marriage. Victoria Beckham, Jada Pinkett-Smith, Jennifer Affleck and Jessica Timberlake have all changed over to their husband's names after getting married.
