According to reports from Us Weekly and People magazine, the reality TV star is planning to file for divorce from her husband Kris Humphries.
Keeping Up with the Kardashians producer Ryan Seacrest confirmed a divorce is imminent.
“Yes @kimkardashian is filing for divorce this morning. I touched base with her, getting a statement in just a few mins (sic),” he wrote on Twitter.
Kim — who attended a Halloween party in New York over the weekend but did not bring Kris along — has reportedly hired divorce lawyer Laura Wasser, who has previously represented Britney Spears, Maria Shriver, Angelina Jolie and Ryan Reynolds and will cite “irreconcilable differences” in her divorce papers.
Sources close to the pair told website TMZ that their arguments over where to live were responsible for the breakdown of the union, with Kris wanting to live in Minnesota while Kim didn’t want to leave Los Angeles.
The date of separation is reportedly Oct. 31, 2011.
“She wanted the fairy tale and she got caught up in it all,” says a source close to Kardashian. “She felt like the pressure of the TV show just isn’t what they could have handled.”
“They’re not getting along at all,” another insider said. “Kris is not drinking the Kardashian Kool-Aid, and it’s causing major problems.
“On some levels, she feels like she made a mistake.”
Kim has previously revealed her marriage to 26-year-old Kris wasn’t ideal because of the publicity surrounding their union and said they were finding it hard to get some alone time.
“It’s not been ideal because you’re newlyweds and you want privacy.”
Kim and Kris tied the knot in a fairytale ceremony in front of 440 guests in Montecito, California with her sisters Khloe and Kourtney as matron and maid of honor, and her nephew, 23-month old Mason, as ring bearer.
