Kim ZolciakandKroy Biermannhave decided not to end their 12-year marriage after all.
“They’re getting along and calling off the divorce,” a source confirms to PEOPLE. “They’re trying to make it work for the kids.”
Under the dismissal “without prejudice,” Zolciak’s claim against Biermann is stopped with immediate effect — though Zolciak retains the right to refile her claim in the future.
Biermann has not yet filed a dismissal of his divorce claim against Zolciak, but his lawyer Marlys Berstrom indicated toEntertainment Tonighthe would be doing so and said the pair “are dismissing divorce action and reconciling.”
PEOPLE has reached out to reps for both Zolciak and Biermann.

Reports of their breakup came as a shock to many who have watched the highs and lows of their near 12 year relationship, including Bravo executive andHousewivesproducerAndy Cohen.
“[I] sent my condolences, because it’s a sad thing,” Cohen, 54, said on hisSiriusXM showRadio Andy. “They have kids, and that was just a couple that seemed very much in love.”
“I was very surprised. That was not the news I ever expected to get,” he continued. “They were a couple that I thought were in it for the long haul. [I was] very surprised [and I am] sorry to hear that.”
