On October 31 2011, Kim Kardashian filed for divorce from Kris Humphries, her husband of only 72 days.

The couple tied the knot this past August with a lavish, multi-million dollar wedding celebration that was even taped for the entire world to see.  After hearing about their marriage ending and seeing this massive, luxurious wedding production on television, many people started to question if Kim and Kris wed for love or solely for the publicity and money.

There is no doubt about it that Kim and Kris had good intentions for their marriage.  Kim Kardashian is thirty one years old and she wanted to finally start a family of her own.  Soon after meeting Kris Humphries, she believed he was the one.  After about eight months of dating the couple believed they were truly in love and ready to be married – just like any other couple.

On Kim Kardashian’s blog site she wrote an extensive message to her fans addressing the divorce, stating “First and foremost, I married for love. I can’t believe I even have to defend this.  I would not have spent so much time on something just for a TV show!”

Kim shares so much of her personal life on her family’s reality show Keeping Up with the Kardashians that she must have figured, why not film her one of the most special days of her life?

Kim and Kris’ wedding was most definitely not a sham.  The perfect fairytale wedding Kim anxiously planned this past year turned out to not have such a happy ending after all.  The couple simply rushed their relationship and the two had different plans for the future.

“Maybe I rushed into something too soon. I felt like I was on a fast roller coaster and couldn’t get off when now I know I probably should have,” Kim said on her blog.

Additionally, it can be found on he blog where she clearly states that the media reports of her making millions of dollars off of the wedding are not true.

Why would such a wealthy, successful woman need any more money?

Kim will be donating all of the money for all the gifts to the Dream Foundation – because she married for love.

Even with the announcement of sister Kourtney Kardashian’s second pregnancy with long-time boyfriend Scott Disick, it’s not happily ever after anymore for the Kardashian clan.

On August 20, Kim Kardashian, pop-culture icon and personality, tied the knot with Kris Humphries, forward for the New Jersey Nets in Montecito, California in what was reported by numerous sources to be a 30 million dollar wedding ceremony, where Kardashian profited over 18 million dollars from the days affairs.

However, Kardashian’s representatives deny these claims.

Seventy-two days later—on Halloween nonetheless—Kardashian officially filed for divorce, ending their newly-formed marriage. Humphries filed his response to Kim’s petition on Thursday, requesting an annulment of the marriage, citing the ever famous and inconclusive reason—fraud.

The divorce has now spiraled into a multi-million dollar deal, centering over millions of dollars of assets and how they will ultimately be divvied up, including Kim’s two million dollar 20.5 carat engagement ring, which Kim herself has expressed interest in keeping—even though she’s the one pursuing the divorce.

Although, if you have any iota in your mind that their marriage was real—if that’s even possible for one to think—you’re in luck. Their marriage will play out on national TV, like the rest of their lives. The second season ofKourtney and Kim Take New York premiered Sunday, November 27 focusing around Kim and Kris’ “newlywed” time after their Italian honeymoon.

The episode ends however, with both Humphries and Disick moving out of the apartment. Nevertheless, the duo’s marriage will unfold each Sunday in hour long episodes on E!, though if the “couple” didn’t spend the majority of their 72 day marriage together, was it ever truly love to begin with?
