The 31-year-old reality TV star married basketball star Kris Humphries in a lavish televised ceremony in August but after rampant speculation their relationship was in trouble, Keeping Up with the Kardashians producer Ryan Seacrest has confirmed a divorce is imminent.

He wrote on twitter: “Yes @kimkardashian is filing for divorce this morning. I touched base with her, getting a statement in just a few mins (sic).”

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.

Although this has been a source of tension for some time, they decided to try to figure it out after the wedding because they were so caught up with being in love.

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.

She said: “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 honour, and her nephew, 23-month old Mason, as ring bearer.
