Kim Kardashian files for divorce from Kris Humphries after just 72 days of marriage

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, with TMZ claiming he only learnt she was divorcing him this morning.
'I'm committed to this marriage and everything this covenant represents,' he said in a statement via his representative.

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.
Meanwhile, Khloe Kardashian also took to her Twitter account to defend her elder sister against negative comments.
'Reading some of these comments r so hurtful,' she wrote. 'I'm grateful 4our fans who understand & r being respectful. Hate is disgusting. Love is everything.'
She then added on a later tweet: 'Thank God for family. We are strong and we will only become closer! I love YOU.'

arrives back after counselling session at Kris Humphries's Minnesota home

Kim Kardashian has returned to her home in Los Angeles following an intense meeting with her estranged husband Kris Humphries over the weekend.
The reality TV star looked tired and emotional as she made her way through LAX airport late last night with no make-up and without her trademark dark sunglasses.
The 30-year-old had earlier spent around two hours holding crunch talks to get 'closure' on her failed marriage at the NBA star's home in Minnesota.

Kris could be seen in the doorway as Kim and Pastor Johnson, her hometown minister, left the property.
At one point, the reality star took a break from discussions to make a private phone call outside the Minnesota house belonging to her husband - who she filed for divorce from after just 72 days of marriage.

She was perhaps calling home to California, and wished for some privacy away from Kris to talk to her family.
It was clearly a serious call, as Kim paced the porch with her handset glued to her ear with a stricken look across her face
She freed herself from self-imposed house arrest last night and made a midnight dash to see the NBA player.
Apparently feeling 'conflicted over the divorce' the 31-year-old waited until it was dark and then took a flight from LAX to Minneapolis.
TMZ has her arriving at the airport there at 5.30am, after using a commercial airline accompanied by just one bodyguard.
And there were no camera crew accompanying them on the journey.
A source told the website: 'Kim has been saying even before she filed for divorce that she wasn't sure about ending the marriage.

'It's definitely not accurate to call this a reconciliation ... or even an attempt at one ... but the door is definitely not shut
'Kris and Kim will be meeting with the pastor who married them to talk about the marriage, the divorce, and their feelings.
Again, this is not a reconciliation but we're told Kim wants to make sure she and Kris have closure and talk everything out.'
Kim had placed herself under house arrest at a secret location to attempt to ride out the fallout from her divorce decision.

Yesterday was believed to be the first serious talks she has had with Kris since they parted ways last week.
The Kardashian clan have reportedly banned U.S. channel E! from screening anything to do with Kim's divorce drama in their reality show.

Sources apparently told TMZ that Kim does not want cameras to document the private, emotional moments behind her divorce.

It's claimed the socialite will not be shooting any footage for Keeping Up with the Kardashians until the beginning of next year and is insisting she does not want to exploit the 'real' moments behind the divorce on TV.
It's said that she will most likely acknowledge the split when filming picks up again but all of the behind-the-scenes divorce-related drama will not air on the show.
Meanwhile Kim's mother Kris Jenner says her daughter will keep her $2million engagement ring.

NBA star Kris was hoping to get the 20.5 carat diamond back from his now estranged wife, according to sources.

However, Kim's mother and manager Kris Jenner, 55, has nixed the idea.
'It’s a gift - you keep a gift,' Jenner, the shrewd matriarch of the Kardashian clan, told Good Morning America while promoting her new memoir.

Jenner said Kim's decision to file for divorce on Monday came 'after a lot of heartache.'
She said: 'Kim's dream [was] to get married and have babies, and raise a family - that’s all she’s ever wanted.'
Jenner hopes her daughter will soon heal from her heartache.

'Kim hasn’t been the Kim I know,' Jenner said. 'She seemed worried, not her happy self. I want Kim back - I want her to be happy.'
Jenner has previously insisted that reports of Kim making a large profit from the wedding - a rumoured $10 million - were false.
She insisted her daughter 'didn't make a dime' from the nuptials.
In a message on her blog on Tuesday, Kim said she would be 'donating the money for all the gifts to the Dream Foundation.'
