Kim Kardashian and Kris Humphries were accused of staging a publicity stunt after they announced that their marriage was over, just 72 days after their lavish – and televised – wedding. Kimvehemently denied she had married for anything other than love, but she certainly wasn’t out of pocket following the union; the reality TV star is thought to have made $18m from her wedding day (that’s just under $250,000 for every day she was married).

Kim Kardashian & Kris Humphries Finalize Divorce
A year and seven months after filing for divorce, the final stamp was a long time coming for the 32-year-old reality star who is expecting a daughter with Kanye West in the next month – place your due date and baby weight bets here, sweepstake fans.

After a measly 72-day marriage (you can do the sums) Kim was starting to worry that she’d still be married when she gave birth. We know this because we’ve seen a preview from upcoming episodes of Keeping Up With The Kardashians where Kim sobs and admits she’s scared the legal wrangling will drag on so long that she’ll still be married to Humphries when she becomes a mum (or mom, if you are Kim). And that, we’d all probably agree, is not ideal.

Great news then that Kim is a free woman, especially amidst rumours that Kanye is waiting in wings to put a ring on it. And the news might explain why Kim tweeted a picture of some pretty white roses with the caption "Always making me feel special for no reason." Except it's not really 'no' reason is it, Kim? This is big news! Unravel the bunting and pull a party popper, you are free!

After a week that saw the pregnant star looking a vision of something we'll call 'angel-ness' in white Lanvin at her Beverly Hills baby shower, and a more chilled lunch date with her sister Kourtney and niece Penelope, KK has more good stuff to celebrate. For she's a jolly fellow, for she's a jolly good fellow, etc, etc.

Kris and Kim initially came to a divorce agreement in April but things were dragged on, and on, and on, when the basketball star pushed for an annulment based on claims that Kim only married him as a publicity stunt. Oh do keep up.

Now a Los Angeles judge has confirmed (probably with a strike of his gavel, we like to think) that the pair, who married in a bumper two-part E! special but split 72 days later in 2011, came to an out-of-court settlement.
