Kim Kardashian has commented on the end of her 72-day marriage to Kris Humphries, saying "sometimes things don't work out as planned".
In a statement to E!, which broadcasts Kardashian's reality shows, she said: "I hope everyone understands 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."
Court papers filed by Kardashian on Monday cited "irreconcilable differences" as the reason for the split.
In a statement, E! said: "All of us at E! are surprised and saddened by this news, and we send our support to Kim and Kris at this difficult time.
"The Kardashians have always been uniquely open with all aspects of their lives from joyous events to intimate moments to heartbreaking transitions.
"E! will continue to share the fascinating real lives and larger-than-life existence of this close-knit family."
