Later, Kardashian claimed she was under the influence of ecstasy during the wedding and blamed their split on his verbal and physical abuse.

She married Humphries for 72 days before filing for divorce on October 31 with the grounds of irreconcilable differences.

Many media publications speculated that Kardashian’s union with Humphries was just a marketing gimmick to boost the Kardashian family’s reputation and their upcoming television projects.

Her brief marriage, according to a man claiming to be her former publicist named Jonathan Jaxson, was in fact arranged as a way to make money.

Both parties concurred that they don’t require spousal support. Kardashian requested a speedier divorce process from West in a complaint she filed with the Los Angeles Superior Court in February 2022, alleging that West was attempting to delay the process and that “Mr. West, by his actions, has made it clear that he does not accept that the parties’ marital relationship is over.” On March 2, 2022, Kardashian was deemed to be legally single.

In November 2021, Pete Davidson, an actor and comedian, and Kardashian started dating.
