LOS ANGELES (CBS) — Kim Kardashian filed for divorce Monday morning, after just 72 days of marriage to former New Jersey Nets star Kris Humphries.

Kardashian is not seeking an annulment, but instead cited “irreconcilable differences,” according to documents filed in Los Angeles Superior Court.

TMZ’s Harvey Levin talks to KNX 1070 about why the couple split.

Documents show she is represented by attorney Laura Wasser, who has also worked for Britney Spears, Maria Shriver, Angelina Jolie and Ryan Reynolds.

“Yes @kimkardashian is filing for divorce this morning. I touched base with her, getting a statement in just a few mins,” E! News host and “Keeping Up With The Kardashians” executive producer Ryan Seacrest confirmed early Monday morning on Twitter.

“After careful consideration, I have decided to end my marriage. I hope everyone understands that 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,” Kardashian later said through her publicist, Pearl Servat.

The couple has a prenuptial agreement and Kardashian is not seeking spousal support.

Rumors of a split have been circulating since the couple wed in Montecito on Aug. 20. As TMZ’s Harvey Levin told KNX 1070 Monday, the couple split over where they would live. Humphries wanted Kardashian to settle in Minnesota, but she wanted to remain in Los Angeles, Levin said.

This is Kardashian’s second marriage. She was married to music producer Damon Thomas from 2000 to 2004.

Kardashian’s sister, Khloe Kardashian Odom, is also taking to Twitter to defend her.

“Reading some these comments r so hurtful. Im grateful 4our fans who understand & r being respectful. Hate is disgusting. Love is everything,” she wrote Monday. “Thank God for family. We are strong and we will only become closer! I love YOU.”

S-U-R-P-R-I-S-E-!!!!!!!. Who is this news to??????…..he was the stupid one. How do you expect a marriage to last when you don’t know each other. He’s was star struck and she was a romanticist who just had to have a husband. She’ll move on and stay in the headlines. He’s the real loser. In more ways than one.

yeah, he was dumb indeed. I know a couple people who personally met Kim before and she was a total jerk. And he’s Just another dumb man who falls for a real jerk but gets involved with her anyway because she’s so hot, and will do anything to stay with her. But he failed miserably.

Im suprised it lasted this long.

Who cares…They’re just a bunch of narcissistic, self-centered females who are a disgrace to their gender and their faith. I show them to my daughters as an example of who they shouldn’t become. We have been blessed with a good life and financial wealth and I DO NOT want any of my children taking their blessings for granted, the way that these girls, (and they are girls, not women), have taken their lives for granted. And a wedding!!! Look at all the gay couples who have been together for years and years and yet cannot get married! What a mockery these girls have made of the rite of marriage. At least gay couples understand the sacred bond of love between two people, God, and the community. Shame on you Kardashian’s. Shame!

Typical spoiled brat who doen’t know what she wants

She is too pretentious, self absorbed and materialistic for Kris. He seems like a good guy down to earth. She’s never going to find someone to make her happy and a guy who has everything she wants will not want her. She is so boring.

When I saw your ad on Yahoo sponsoring a page informing more useless information on the Kardashians, I have chosen not to be a customer of your business any longer. My apologies.

Anytime any of you post here. THAT IS RATINGS!!!!!!!. Imagine how she would feel when she cames to this site and NOBODY POSTED. So stop posting. It’s a reality show, cheap to produce and brings in millions for each show. DON’T POST. NEGATIVE POSTS ARE POSTS. NEGATIVE POSTS ARE RATINGS. Think about it, would you post if I got married?

My first & last comment on the KarTrashdian tribe–a New Low in seeking celebrity status.
Jackie Gossett

She’ll have to figure out how to marry herself — at least we know there wasn’t love involved –
Paul Castillo

So is this the sanctity the Christian Right is so adament about protecting from those evil gay people? With life still being rough because of the economy. Thank God we still have the GOP to turn to for comedy relief.

I’ve read in the news recently about several gay couples who were married in states where it became legal recently, and they are now divorcing, fighting over child custody, etc…those in the gay community who are legally married don’t have the monopoly on the ‘sanctity of marriage’…don’t blame the “Christian Right” just because of the comments you read about the sanctity of marriage. It’s happening in both hetero and gay marriages. I am a Christian, and I don’t think gay people are ‘evil’. It’s a shame that people misunderstand so much of what people are saying when they refer to the ‘sanctity of marriage’…there’s a difference between getting married for money and fame and getting married for love, to serve each other, respect and support each other…period!
