Mark Ballas, Kim Kardashian, Kris Humphries and Kris Jenner celebrate Kardashian’s 31st birthday at Marquee Nightclub at the Cosmopolitan on Oct. 22, 2011.
Monday, Oct. 31, 2011 | 5:21 p.m.
LOS ANGELES — 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."
Kardashian, along with other members of her TV reality family, are fixtures on the Las Vegas Strip, often appearing to celebrate special occasions and host parties. On the weekend of Oct. 22, Kardashian was in town — with Humphries — to celebrate her 31st birthday with festivities at the Cosmopolitan's Marquee Nightclub. In July, she was in Las Vegas for her bachelorette party.
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.
The whole K family is nothing but a joke and Ryan Seacrest is a loser for pimping them, but some people do anything for money! I think everyone but maybe Kris knew this was a publicity stunt and only for the money. There is NOTHING real about any of the K holes. Sadly a lot of people with no lives tune in and buy their crap.
OMG,Can you believe this BS? millions of ppl out there suffering everyday with no jobs, no money, and trying to survive everyday and these two idiots waisted millions of dollars on a so called wedding. What is wrong with them? With this being her 2nd wedding she obviously doesnt take marriage seriously, never have liked her and never will....very very sad
Who Cares????
"I'm shocked, shocked to find the gambling is going on in here."
"Your winnings, sir."
This was nothing more than a huge money-making publicity stunt right from the git-go (at least on Kardashian's part). She has reportedly made over 18 MILLION in product endorsements off this wedding alone.......hmmmm wonder how she can turn the divorce into a money making fiasco as well ??? Let's all be done with these so-called 'stars' and get back to the REAL concerns of the Country.
All the K's are losers. Still...it is good to hear about a guy who is willing to do anything to save his marriage.

Chuckle chuckle..sanctity of marriage.. ah hahahaha
What the Hell is A Kardashian??
Now, now let's not degrade the girl's lifestyle. She just made a 20.5 caratttt mistake that may be is paste. Surely, with all those yogurt curves she is good for some life hereafter.
This is not news. The Kardashian tribe are an insult to humanity. The ugliest Kardashian married the ugliest NBA player and the mother is nothing more than a wrinkled up madame, who does the bidding of her lose daughters, while keeping the Gold Medal winner Jenner on leash. All of these Kardashian women have been rode hard and put away wet at an early age, just like a over worked quarter horse.
Why remove my comment? I just told the truth!!!
One of the biggest scam-shams of all time!
Publicity stunt. Looks like it worked.
She is just another gold-digger proving that marriage is such a wrong choice.
