KIM KARDASHIAN DIVORCES HUMPHRIES AFTER JUST 72 DAYS OF MARRIAGE

Spread the love


Kim Kardashian has spoken out in the wake of the bombshell news she is divorcing Kris Humphries, insisting she had hoped the marriage would ‘last forever’. The 31-year-old reality star said it was ‘not an easy decision’ after filing for divorce from NBA star Kris, 26, after just 72 days of marriage on the grounds of ‘irreconcilable differences’.
In a statement to E! – which screens her TV show – Kim said: ‘After careful consideration, I have decided to end my marriage. I hope everyone understands this was not an easy decision.
‘I had hoped this marriage was forever, but sometimes things don’t work out as planned. We remain friends and wish each other the best.’
Kris, meanwhile, says he is devastated by Kim’s decision, claiming he only learnt she was divorcing him this morning.
‘I’m committed to this marriage and everything this covenant represents,’ he told the website.
‘I love my wife and am devastated to learn she filed for divorce … I’m willing to do whatever it takes to make it work.’
News of their divorce will no doubt add fuel to the fire that the wedding was merely a cynical manoeuvre to cash in at a time when Kim’s star had reached its zenith.
Today Kim took to Twitter, but rather than mentioning anything about her marital breakdown cynically plugged her new boutique Kardashian Khaos, which opens tomorrow at The Mirage hotel in Las Vegas.
The date of Kim and Kris’s separation is listed as today (October 31), divorce papers logged with the Superior Court of California show.
She has hired top divorce lawyer Laura Wasser, who has dealt with the likes of Britney Spears, Maria Shriver, Angelina Jolie and Ryan Reynolds.
Television network E! – which screens the Kardashian reality show – released a statement about the divorce.
It read: ‘All of us at E! are surprised and saddened by this news, and we send our support to Kim and Kris at this difficult time.
‘The Kardashians have always been uniquely open with all aspects of their lives from joyous events to intimate moments to heartbreaking transitions.
‘E! will continue to share the fascinating real lives and larger-than-life existence of this close-knit family.’
The couple’s fiery relationship was captured on her reality show Keeping Up With Kardashians, where strong-minded Kris frequently complained about feeling ’emasculated’ by Kim.
Another big factor behind the split hinges on difference in opinion about where to live once the wedding fuss died down.
Sources revealed Kris was set on moving to his home state of Minnesota. Kim, meanwhile, wanted to stay in Los Angeles, she she is from and where she believes her career can be best served. While the break up is not a ‘nasty one’ the couple came to the realisation that things would not work out long-term
This will mark the second failed marriage for Kim, she eloped to Las Vegas with music producer Damon Thomas – 10 years her senior – when she was just 19, but divorced in 2004 after four years together.
She has also had high-profile relationships with RnB singer Ray J, who she filmed a sex tape with, and NFL star Reggie Bush.
