Diviorce of Kim Kardashian & Kris Humphries
Husband and wife for just weeks, Kim Kardashian and Kris Humphries were already sounding like an old married couple.
“How am I going to have my career and live in Minnesota?” Kardashian gripes to Humphries in a scene from a preview clip of her E! show Kourtney and Kim Take New York.
“Baby” – Humphries snaps back, “by the time you have kids and they’re in school, no one will care about you.”
Under any other circumstances, their spat over the uncertainty of where Humphries’s NBA career would land them could be written off as the usual heightened-for-TV reality-show drama.
But not long after the episode was shot, Kardashian (31) filed for divorce from the 26-year-old pro basketball player. Now, the verbal exchange provides just one clue of what went wrong.
The pressures of filming the show, being scrutinized by the media, managing conflicting work schedules and rushing into their relationship all appear to have contributed to the demise of the duo’s 72-day marriage.
Following the couple’s honeymoon (which was cut short so Kim could begin filming the latest season of Kourtney and Kim Take New York) the two were already stepping out solo, with Kardashian attending the MTV Video Music Awards alone.
A self-proclaimed ‘workaholic,’ Kardashian traveled constantly during her marriage, which explains why her family didn’t really get a chance to connect with Humphries or observe him and Kim as a couple.
“I’ve only been around him a couple of times” – her sister Khloe recently told PEOPLE. “I’m a very tough crowd. [My relationship with Kris] is a work in progress. It’s not something either one of us is going to fake. I just need to know him more.”

Can you speculate why the marriage of Kim Kardashian and Kris Humphries ended so quickly? We know you have an opinion, so let’s hear it!
Kim Kardashian left the drama of her broken marriage behind in Los Angeles Monday night – along with her dazzling custom-designed, 20,5-carat diamond engagement ring and matching wedding ring – as she boarded a flight for Australia.
Kardashian, who announced hours earlier that she had filed for divorce from basketball-playing husband Kris Humphries after just 72 days of marriage, was photographed at Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) looking stony-faced and without her 3 million dollars rings, with the pictures appearing on several news and gossip sites. Dressed in a pair of black jeans, a white T-shirt and black leather jacket, Kardashian made her way through security with her personal assistant by her side.
The 31-year-old reality star, who married 26-year-old Humphries on August 20, filed for divorce Monday on the grounds of “irreconcilable differences.”
“After careful consideration, I have decided to end my marriage” – Kardashian said in a statement. “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.”
According to a copy of the divorce filing submitted in Los Angeles and obtained by TMZ, Kardashian and Humphries signed a prenuptial agreement before they tied the knot at a star-studded Hollywood ceremony.
The couple reportedly reaped millions of dollars when the nuptials became a two-part special on E! that drew in more than 10 million viewers.
The middle sister of the famed Kardashian trio has hired Laura Wasser, the high-profile power lawyer who represents a slew of stars including Britney Spears, Maria Shriver and Ryan Reynolds, to handle her affairs.
Despite rumors the newlyweds were having difficulties, news of the split stunned Kardashian’s legions of fans – and apparently even took her husband by surprise. He only learned the paperwork had been filed when news websites went haywire Monday morning.
“I love my wife and am devastated to learn she filed for divorce” – Humphries said in a statement. “I’m committed to this marriage and everything this covenant represents and I’m willing to do whatever it takes to make it work.”
