"After careful consideration, I have decided to end my marriage," she said in a statement to E! News. "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."

TMZ, which obtained a copy of the divorce documents, reports that Kardashian, 31, filed on Monday, citing irreconcilable differences as the reason for the split. The date of separation was listed as Monday.

The documents say that the couple has a prenuptial agreement, and asks the court to deny spousal support to Humphries.

The news comes after weeks of speculation about trouble in the couple's relationship.

Kardashian and Humphries married in a lavish ceremony on Aug. 20. It was taped for a two-part TV special, which aired on E! earlier this month.

Careful consideration???? Really? Maybe that should have come BEFORE your over-the-top extravaganza that you pocketed millions on. The entire Kardashian Klan are nothing but prostitutes - they'd sell anything for money and a minute of spotlight. The E! channel should be shut down for airing this garbage. Anyone that watches it should get some help. TRASH is as TRASH does.

What a surprise! At least she got lots of publicity out of it -- that seems to be all she cares about. He is SOOOOOO much better off without her and her entire family. They are nothing but a bunch of untalented media ******.

I'm sorry, but I think Kim K. is trash. She is so utterly selfish. We all knew this wasn't going to last. Honestly, Kris H. is better off w/out her. She has proven time and time again that she is only concerned for herself. She can't get her head out of her own a** to appreciate a good man. Good riddance. He may be hurting now, but it's better to do away w/that trainwreck sooner than later.

I'm not shocked by this divorce at all. Kris Humphries is way better off w/o this train wreck!

What do you expect from a person how makes her living as being a symbol of shallow sex and materialism? She is essentially the personification of every negative trait of a modern women.

This was not an easy decision, I actually had to take one of my shoes off to list reason 16 and 17! Poor girl!
