Kim Kardashian’s marriage to Kris Humphries lasted 72 days.
Kardashian and professional basketball player Kris Humphries married on August 20, 2011, in a lavish ceremony in Montecito, California. The wedding was filmed for the reality television franchise Keeping Up with the Kardashians and became a major media event.
Kardashian filed for divorce on October 31, 2011, citing irreconcilable differences. Because the couple separated after 72 days, the marriage became one of the most widely discussed short celebrity marriages. The divorce was finalized in April 2013, shortly before Kardashian’s daughter North was born.
A common mix-up is confusing the 72-day marriage with the longer period between the wedding and the final divorce settlement. The 72-day figure refers to the time from the August wedding to Kardashian’s filing for divorce, not the entire legal process.
