LOS ANGELES (AP) — Just 10 weeks after their lavish, made-for-TV wedding and less than a month after the wedding special aired, reality starlet Kim Kardashian is canceling her marriage to NBA player Kris Humphries.
The “Keeping Up With the Kardashians” star filed for divorce Monday, citing irreconcilable differences. “I hope everyone understands this was not an easy decision,” she said in a statement. “I had hoped this marriage was forever but sometimes things don’t work out as planned.”
Humphries told TMZ he was “devastated” to learn his bride had filed for divorce and is “willing to do whatever it takes to make it work.”
The filing in Los Angeles County Superior Court provided few details, other than to state the couple have a prenuptial agreement that will dictate how they divide up their assets. Kardashian is asking that both sides pay their own attorneys‘ costs and that a judge terminate Humphries’ rights to spousal support.
Kardashian, 31, and Humphries, 26, were wed Aug. 20 in a star-studded, black-tie ceremony at an exclusive canyon estate in the seaside enclave of Montecito, Calif., near Santa Barbara. The couple’s wedding registry at a Beverly Hills jeweler totaled $172,000 and included such items as a $1,650 coffee pot and two $1,250 sterling silver vegetable spoons.
It was the first marriage for Humphries, who last played for the NBA’s New Jersey Nets, and the second for Kardashian, who was married to music producer Damon Thomas from 2000 to 2004.
Kardashian’s sisters and TV co-stars Kourtney Kardashian, 32, and Khloe Kardashian, 27, served as co-maids of honor.
Kim Kardashian and Humphries began dating late last year and announced their engagement in May. He proposed on bended knee with a 20.5-carat ring by spelling out “Will you marry me?” in rose petals.
The couple’s marriage was the subject of a two-part special on E! Entertainment Television, which televises Kardashian’s show that follows the model and her family.
The special aired Oct. 9 and 10, two months after the ceremony, prompting online card company someecards.com to offer a greeting last summer that read: “Here‘s hoping Kim Kardashian’s marriage lasts until her wedding special airs in October.”
Entertainment media have breathlessly reported every available detail on the relationship since it began, including signs of trouble earlier this month. Court filings show that Kardashian signed the petition on Sunday.

Meanwhile, Kardashian appeared to be getting on with her life on Monday, tweeting that she was looking forward to Tuesday’s opening of her Kardashian Khaos fashion boutique in Las Vegas. “We are so excited!! Kardashian Khaos has arrived!,” said the message.
Kardashian’s divorce attorney, Laura Wasser, did not return a phone message seeking comment. Humphries’ sports agent, Marc Cornstein, also did not return a phone message.

Report Post »Don’t you folks get it? THIS WAS A PLANNED HOAX! Look at the money. They spent $10 million on the sham wedding, and received $17 million for the film rights to it….Kim Kardashian made SEVEN MILLION DOLLARS in the relative blink of an eye, knowing full well that she would have it all annuled less than 90 days after hoax was filmed. She probably had a fun time with the boy toy, then they decided on the annulment date, took their money and RAN! Stupid tabloids!

Posted on November 1, 2011 at 6:30pmI saw a scene in ther show where she asked Humphries how she was going to maintain her career if she moved to Minnesota, and he answered that in a few years no one is going to remember who she is anyway.. I think she divorced him because she didn’t like hearing the cold hard truth. Is she going to return all the expensive gifts she received and the ten million dollars she got paid for televising the wedding? What a joke. That whole family seems to have very little morals. The Mom is the worst of them all. She just can‘t stop making money off her kid’s. She probably already is getting her grandson into the biz. Disgusting to say the least.

Posted on November 1, 2011 at 7:29amIt’s a shame that people take marriage so lightly. I have been married to the same woman for 25 years and she is and was my best friend. The last time I posted this opinion I was roundly criticized but here I go again. Marriage is a Holy institution that is observed by people of faith who together as a couple enter into a contract with God to become one flesh. One Husband (a man) one with (a woman) one God (the creator).
Report Post »People who are non believers are better off not getting married. This is not just my opinion but the opinion of many theologians. You have to have something to base your marriage on (a rock if you will) that will bind you together until death. Without that your chances of success are very limited. Go ahead now and bash me…..see if I care.

Thank you for sharing your experience. Please continue to share it even if people give you a hard time about it. We need to see positive examples of marriage; especially when so many marriages last for such a short period of time these days. Marriage should be about marriage not a lavish wedding. There has to be something substantial between two individuals for them to remain committed in marriage. People aren‘t always going to get along and life won’t always be rosy; having a strong commitment and belief in God is paramount to a marriage’s survival.
Our society promotes shacking up, cheating, and walking out on marriage without even attempting to work through issues. In KK’s case; she became “famous” for being in pornography. It is appalling that she is accusing KH of “chasing fame” when that is obviously what she has done. She got to have the wedding she wanted with 3 wedding gowns, make big bucks from it, so to heck with actually making the marriage last! I am sure she’ll now cash in on the divorce in some way.
Shameful!
