Kim Zolciak's husband gifts her with almost $5k worth of designer shoes... despite 'facing eviction over unpaid taxes'

It's been claimed they owe thousands of dollars in back taxes but that hasn't stopped Kim Zolciak and Kroy Biermann from splashing the cash.

The former Real Housewives of Atlanta star and her NFL player husband took out a $300,000 loan in December to complete renovations on their lavish mansion in Georgia but it was revealed last month by RadarOnline that they face eviction if they don't pay the tax they owe.

However, they are not reigning in their spending and on Friday, Kim shared an Instagram picture of three different Giuseppe Zanotti shoes, worth a total of $4,885, gifts from her husband.

Poor taste: Kim Zolciak's husband Troy Biermann spent almost $5,000 on designer shoes for her even though they have been accused of owing thousands in unpaid taxes

She captioned the snap of the Buckled Strap Leather Sandals, Nero in black and beige, which cost $1,595 each and the Snake-Ankle-Wrap Suede Sandal, costing $1,695, 'Goooood morning!!!!! My hubby spoils me!! 😍 and he has great taste!! Obsessed!!!! #justbecause #blessed (sic).'

It seems like poor taste considering the 35-year-old reality TV star and her 28-year-old spouse have been accused of owing thousands of dollars.

And it comes just one week after she shared a picture of her new Louboutin shoes.

Big trouble: Kim Zolciak and Kroy Biermann are being faced with eviction from their dream home in Alpharetta, Georgia if they don't pay their back taxes by April

No expense spared: The sprawling 7,186 sq ft mansion features five bedrooms, six-and-a-half bathrooms, a huge swimming pool, eight fireplaces and a two-storey master closet, among plenty of other high-end finishes

According to documents obtained by Radar, Zolciak and Biermann, were served with a tax lien from the City of Milton, Georgia, for $1,665.26, and another one from the State of Georgia and Fulton county for $10,572.67.

They have to write checks for those amounts by April 11 or the famous duo will reportedly have their spread 'seized.'

The couple purchased the 7,186 sq ft five-bedroom, six-and-a-half bathroom house - dubbed Zolciak Manor - for $880,000 in 2012 and subsequently went straight to work on gutting it and creating their dream home for their growing family.

Just showing off: One week ago Kim shared this picture of her new Louboutin shoes

Posh life: On Monday the blonde shared this selfie taken in her luxury home

Such lavish inclusions as a two-storey master closet, eight fireplaces, a sizeable swimming pool and opulent chandeliers surely upped the budget substantially.

On January 19, the 35-year-old posted a photo to Instagram of 17-month-old son Kash's bedroom, which has all the high-end finishes one would expect - and then some.

'Baby Kash's room!!! My favorite,' she captioned the image, which depicted an ornate gold and blue four-poster crib that perfectly matched the rest of the room's lavish furnishings, complete with hand-painted walls and multi-layered ceiling.

'Obsessed! Sitting here playing with baby Kaia!! Hard to see but she has the cutest dimples': The proud mom-of-six posted this adorable photo of her two-month-old daughter to Instagram on Wednesday

With so much financial pressure placed on the couple, it could perhaps explain why the outspoken blonde has revealed that she would happily return to the show that made her a household name.

Despite bailing on the series midway through the fifth season due to the constant feuding and drama with her co-stars, Kim has admitted she is now 'open' to going back for more.

'Now that I’m done having babies, I can’t say that I wouldn’t go back,' Kim tells In Touch magazine. 'For the most part, I enjoyed my time on the show.'

However, viewers can expect plenty of continuing conflict should she make her big return.

'NeNe [Leakes] and I are cool, and Cynthia [Bailey] is sweet, but the rest of the women are useless!' she spills candidly.

For her part, NeNe, who stars in the show as well as juggling a Hollywood acting career that has included stints on Glee, says she'll welcome her old pal back with open arms on one condition: that she works.

'I'm not against Kim returning to The Real Housewives Of Atlanta,' the 46-year-old tells Bravo's
Watch What Happens Live, despite the fact that Kim rubbed all the girls up the wrong way by constantly being late for filming, not showing up to events and putting her family's needs ahead
of her obligations to the show.

Cash-strapped? Kroy still splashed out $9,500 on this plexiglass Chanel purse for his wife at Christmas, though she has since made the revelation she's 'open' to returning to the Real Housewives, likely for the pay cheque

Not that she can be blamed for the latter, having welcomed four children in quick succession since taking up with Atlanta Falcons star Kroy in May 2010.

The couple were already parents to five-and-a-half-month-old son Kroy Jr, known as 'KJ', when they married on November 11, 2011, before second son Kash came along in August 2012.

Fraternal twins Kaia and Kane were born just two months ago, on November 25, bringing the tally up to four children under the age of three.

Close quarters: With six children all under one roof, it's little wonder the couple were keen to get the renovations on their new property completed - even if it meant spending more money

Doting dad: As well as having four kids with his new wife - sons KJ (pictured), two-and-a-half, Kash, 17 months, and twins Kane and Kaia, two-months, the 28-year-old also officially adopted Kim's daughters Brielle, 16, and Ariana, 12, last July

Kim is also mom to daughters Brielle, who 17, and Ariana, 12, from previous relationships, both of whom Kroy officially adopted in July last year.

While she may have the support of some members of cast to return to the Real Housewives, it remains to be seen whether or not producers will feel the same way.

The reality series has enjoyed a spike in ratings since Kim's departure, cementing it as the most popular of all the Housewives spin-offs.

Can they afford that: Kim seemed oblivious to her reported financial woes as she tweeted that she and her husband were shopping for a new car on Thursday

In recent weeks, more than 4.5 million viewers have tuned in to catch the new episodes on Sunday night, while as many as 1.3 million more are reported to have caught the midnight encore screening.

Meanwhile, Kim seemed oblivious to her current financial predicament on Thursday as she shared a few tweets with her followers.

'Oh helllllooooo!!! Good morning.....,' Kim captioned a shot of a pretty gem-studded stiletto.

She indicated she and her husband were off to buy a new car as well, writing: 'Meanwhile @biermann71 and I are going to get another 4 wheeler today!! Holllllla family fun.'
