This star rose to fame in the 2010s while appearing on one of Bravo’s most recognizable franchises.

She went on to star in a reality television spinoff featuring her life as a mother, and later as a new wife.

The Florida-born personality is now a mom to six children and currently estranged from her former NFL star husband.

This week she took to Instagram to share a throwback photo from when she was in eighth grade, writing, ‘I actually had almost black hair as a child.’

This star rose to fame in the 2010s while appearing on one of Bravo’s most recognizable franchises. This week she took to Instagram to share a throwback photo from when she was in eighth grade, writing, ‘I actually had almost black hair as a child’

The blonde beauty is none other than 47-year-old Kim Zolciak of Real Housewives Of Atlanta fame.

The childhood image showed an unrecognizable young Kim with a mop of dark, curly hair and face-framing bangs.

She wore a heavy pink blush in the photo, which was taken in the early 90s around the time she was 13 or 14.

Engaging her 3.2 million Instagram followers on Wednesday, Zolciak shared a mirror selfie taken at a hair salon.

She gave a glimpse of her taut tummy while dressed in a fitted and cropped white shirt and high-rise gray sweatpants.

Kim wore a pair of dark-rimmed eyeglasses and a black Louis Vuitton bag was propped in front of her.

‘Hair day! Fun fact: I’ve been 100% gray since I was 35,’ she revealed, adding, ‘I get my roots done every [few] months,’ the ‘Bravolebrity’ revealed.

Since rising to fame through her reality television career and social media persona, Zolciak has only been seen with blonde hair — often wigs, for which she has openly discussed her affinity in the past.

Kim celebrated her 47th birthday in May, and took to social media to mark the occasion. 

Sharing bikini-clad images to Instagram, taken at the Amanyara resort in Turks and Caicos, she captioned, ‘I want to say thank you so much for all the birthday wishes and love I received yesterday ❤️ I’m forever grateful and blessed to have so many amazing humans in my life; 2025 has been incredible already.

‘I can’t believe I’m 47! Funny how old that seemed when I was 27! I feel the best I have in years and honestly I had no idea was peace really was until this past year ✨ I love you guys so much and appreciate all the support.’

Zolciak and her ex Kroy Biermann finally sold their Georgia mansion in April for $2.75 million — days before he would file for divorce for a third time.
