In a blog post titled “A Message To My Fans,” Kim Kardashian opens up about her decision to file for divorce from Kris Humphries after just 72 days of marriage. Insisting that she married for love and not publicity, the reality star admits she “got caught up with the hoopla” of the wedding and didn’t stop to think about her relationship. Kardashian writes:
“I am trying not to read all the different media reports but it’s hard not to see all the negative ones. First and foremost, I married for love. I can’t believe I even have to defend this. I would not have spent so much time on something just for a TV show! I share so much of my life on a reality show, that contemplating whether to even film my wedding was a tough decision to make, and maybe it turned out to not be the smartest decision. But it’s who I am! We filmed Kourtney giving birth, Khloe getting married, break ups, make ups, our best moments and our worst moments. These were all real moments. That’s what makes us who we are. We share, we give, we love and we are open!
Everyone that knows me knows that I’m a hopeless romantic! I love with all of my heart and soul. I want a family and babies and a real life so badly that maybe I rushed in to something too soon. I believed in love and the dream of what I wanted so badly. I felt like I was on a fast roller coaster and couldn’t get off when now I know I probably should have. I got caught up with the hoopla and the filming of the TV show that when I probably should have ended my relationship, I didn’t know how to and didn’t want to disappoint a lot of people.
I’m being honest here and I hope you respect my courage because this isn’t easy to go through. But I do know that I have to follow my heart. I never had the intention of hurting anybody and I accept full responsibility for my actions and decisions, and for taking everyone on this journey with me. It just didn’t turn out to be the fairy tale I had so badly hoped for.
There are also reports that I made millions of dollars off of the wedding. These reports are simply not true and it makes me so sad to have to even clarify this. I’m so grateful to everyone who took the time to come to my wedding and I’ll be donating the money for all the gifts to the Dream Foundation.
I’m sorry if I have hurt anyone, but my dad always told me to follow my heart and I believe now that I really am.”
Kardashian, 31, cited irreconcilable differences as the reason for the split and listed the date of separation as October 31, 2011. Shortly after the filing on Monday, Humphries, 26, released a statement saying he remains “committed” to his marriage. "I love my wife and am devastated to learn she filed for divorce," the New Jersey Nets star said. "I'm committed to this marriage and everything this covenant represents and I'm willing to do whatever it takes to make it work."
