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.

It's over: Kim Kardashian is reported to be filing for divorce from husband Kris Humphries after just 72 days of marriage
We're done: Court documents filed today show Kim has filed for divorce on the grounds of irreconcilable differences
'I love my wife and am devastated to learn she filed for divorce ... I'm willing to do whatever it takes to make it work.'
Earlier this morning Ryan Seacrest, the producer of her reality show, tweeted: 'Yes @KimKardashian is filing for divorce this morning. I touched base with her, getting a statement in just a few mins.'
Kim ensured they both signed a prenuptial agreement before they got hitched at a lavish ceremony on August 20 in Montecito, California.
It netted the couple a reported $18m from magazine deals, TV coverage and endorsements - that's $250,000 every day.
Hours before the big news: Kim with sisters Khloe, left, and Kourtney, right, last night on the Jimmy Kimmel Live! stage to film an anti-bullying segment for Extreme Makeover
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.'
Tweet response: Kim's younger sister Khloe Kardashian took to Twitter to tweet against the fans who have written 'hurtful' comments about the split
Family united: Kourtney Kardashian tweeted her support for Kim saying that the family are 'sticking together' as always
'Our sister is going through a difficult time but we're a close family and are sticking together as always,' she wrote.
'We appreciate everyone's kindness and support. @kim kardashian, we love you.'
Insiders have revealed the entire wedding was a sham.
'It was pretty much an arranged marriage right from the start,' one source, close to the Keeping Up With The Kardashians production told RadarOnline.com.
'Kim was looking for a husband and Kris was selected for her, amongst others. She wasn’t really into him but she hoped she would be able to develop some feelings, but it never happened.'
The date of Kim and Kris's separation is listed as today (October 31), divorce papers logged with the Superior Court of California show.
'It's true': Ryan Seacrest, the producer of her E! reality show, just tweeted: 'Yes @KimKardashian is filing for divorce this morning. I touched base with her, getting a statement in just a few mins'
She has hired top divorce lawyer Laura Wasser, who has dealt with the likes of Britney Spears, Maria Shriver, Angelina Jolie and Ryan Reynolds.
According to Us Weekly, the couple's assets will be divided in accordance with their prenuptial agreement.
Kim's assets prior to the marriage are said to all be protected, and she will also keep everything she earned during their short union.
Television network E! - which screens the Kardashian reality show - released a statement about the divorce.

'The Kardashians have always been uniquely open with all aspects of their lives from joyous events to intimate moments to heartbreaking transitions.
'E! will continue to share the fascinating real lives and larger-than-life existence of this close-knit family.'
However, an insider told the New York post that producers are considering whether to stop showing re-runs of Kim's Fairytale Wedding, which was first broadcast in two parts from October 9.
Executives fear the illusion of the fairytale has now been shattered and, therefore, it could ultimately damage the Kardashian brand to keep showing it.
Business usual: Kim tweeted today - not about her marriage breakdown, but about her excitement about the opening of her new boutique store in Las Vegas, Kardashian Khaos

MailOnline reported earlier this month how Kim and Kris's marriage had hit the rocks.

'They are divorcing. Kim has been staying in a New York hotel which Kris has failed to visit.'
The couple have been dogged by persistent reports that all is not well between them for several weeks now.

The couple's fiery relationship was captured on her reality show Keeping Up With Kardashians, where strong-minded Kris frequently complained about feeling 'emasculated' by Kim.
Another big factor behind the split apparently hinged on a difference in opinion about where to live once the wedding fuss died down.

'Yes': Kim agreed - but the marriage was short-lived
1. Britney Spears and Jason Alexander (55 hours)
It was a mere 55 hours before Britney Spears called time on her marriage to childhood friend Jason Alexander, after they impulsively wed in Las Vegas back in 2004. 'We were just looking at each other and said, "Let's do something wild, crazy. Let's go get married, just for the hell of it,' Alexander told Access Hollywood about their nuptials. 2.

The Baywatch star married film producer Salomon in October 2007, in the two and a half hour break between Anderson's magic show in Sin City before Anderson filed for divorce, citing 'irreconcilable differences.' 7. Nicholas Cage and Lisa Marie Presley (121 days)
Cage and Presley filed for divorce, citing irreconcilable differences, less than four months after they wed in 2002 in Hawaii.

After a romantic beach side wedding at St. John in the Virgin Islands, the Oscar-winning actress and country singer filed for an annulment.

She only announced she was filing for divorce earlier yesterday but Kim Kardashian has already stepped out without her engagement and wedding rings.
The 31-year-old reality TV star was seen arriving at LAX airport heading for a trip to Australia.
Kim looked tired and was dressed down for the flight in a simple white T-shirt, black jeans and a leather jacket.
While Kris is reportedly 'devastated' by the not-so-shock announcement, after rumours have dogged their marriage for weeks, Kim's camp are said to be claiming her estranged husband was chasing fame.

According to TMZ, when divorce was mentioned Kris 'went into full Hollywood gear, talking about branding the Kris Humphries name with cologne, nightclub appearances'.
Kim was also said to have gone off Kris after he 'hired a Hollywood publicist' according to the gossip website.
Kris' motives were questioned by Khloe Kardashian before their wedding, which viewers say in the reality show about their wedding which saw the pair come to blows.
Meanwhile reports are emerging that their whole marriage, which is said to have netted the former couple $18million, is a hoax, according to Radaronline.com.
A source told the website: 'It was pretty much an arranged marriage right from the start.'

'Kim was looking for a husband and Kris was selected for her, amongst others. She wasn’t really into him but she hoped she would be able to develop some feelings, but it never happened. She was never particularly attracted to him, and by all accounts absolutely hated sleeping with him or even having to make out with him.'
Yesterday Kris was seen in his home state of Minnesota wearing his wedding ring as he headed to the gym.
Neither Kris nor Kim have tweeted about their marriage breakdown although the socialite did issue a statement earlier yesterday.
Kim insisted she had hoped the marriage would 'last forever'.
