Brielle Biermann has excluded her adoptive father Kroy from her upcoming wedding to minor league baseball player Billy Seidl, with a source confirming he has been shut out of all details for the November ceremony.
The 29-year-old daughter of “Real Housewives of Atlanta” alum Kim Zolciak, 47, has not spoken with Kroy about the nuptials and wants no contact regarding the event, the insider exclusively said. Kroy, 39, has reportedly made no effort to reach out about attending either, suggesting the estrangement runs both ways.
Brielle addressed the fractured state of their relationship directly when approached by the outlet in July. “I haven’t really spoken to Kroy,” she said at the time. “It’s in the air, ever changing.”
The coldness between Brielle and Kroy emerged amid his explosive divorce from her mother, which has played out publicly since May 2023. Kroy initially filed for divorce in Fulton County that month, withdrew the paperwork in July hoping to reconcile, then refiled in August citing the marriage as “irretrievably broken.”
Though Kroy is not Brielle’s biological father, he legally adopted her and younger sister Ariana, 23, in 2013, two years after his lavish Georgia wedding to Kim in 2011. The former NFL linebacker had been a father figure to the sisters for more than a decade before the family rupture.
Kroy currently holds primary physical custody and primary decision-making authority over the four children he shares biologically with Kim: KJ, 15, Kash, 14, and 12-year-old twins Kaia and Kane. That custody arrangement has placed him at the center of another crisis rocking the family.
KJ was arrested on Aug. 17 for aggravated sodomy and sexual battery involving a female classmate in April, then indicted Sept. 3 on seven felony charges including aggravated child molestation, aggravated sodomy, aggravated sexual battery, false imprisonment and three counts of aggravated sexual battery against a child under 16. The teen pleaded not guilty, spent a month at Atlanta’s Metro Regional Youth Detention Center, and was released on $200,000 bond with orders to remain at Zolciak’s home and attend school virtually under strict conditions.
The wedding snub caps a period of intense public turmoil for the Biermann household. Beyond the divorce and KJ’s legal case, the family has weathered financial strain and tabloid scrutiny that has tested every bond. Brielle’s decision to proceed with her fall wedding without Kroy signals that any path to reconciliation remains distant, at least from her side.
Details about the Seidl ceremony have remained closely guarded, with neither Brielle nor her fiancé sharing specifics publicly. The couple’s engagement was first revealed earlier this year, though the exact timeline of their relationship has stayed relatively private compared to the family’s usual media exposure.
Ariana has faced her own relationship turbulence, recently questioning ex-boyfriend Hudson McLeroy’s public apology following their split by noting he had “nothing to say privately.” The sisters have presented a united front through much of the family chaos, with both aligning against Kroy as the divorce turned bitter.
Kim has largely stayed silent on the specific wedding dynamics, though she has previously expressed being “OK” with whatever relationship her daughters chose to maintain with Kroy. That hands-off stance appears to have left Brielle free to make her own call about who belongs on her guest list.
The source emphasized that Kroy’s complete ignorance of wedding plans was by design rather than oversight. “Kroy has zero idea about the wedding,” the insider stated. “He has no clue about any details. Brielle does not want him there.”
Brielle and Seidl have not announced an exact date for the November ceremony.
