At that point, one user questioned, “@I love following you, but am asking if you are getting divorced? I’m not asking to be nosey. Your posts lately have seemed like cryptic messages. I hope for the very best for your family.💗”
Kimball responded, “Yes, getting a divorce. Wasn’t trying to be cryptic. I hope this video makes it clear."
