Kim Kardashian's marriage to NBA power forward Kris Humphries crashed and burned after a mere 72 days, but reality TV’s biggest star told Jay Leno Wednesday that at the time, she took the words “till death do us part” at face value.
“I'm a girl who really believes in love, I'm in love with love and I thought this was it for me,” she told Leno, curiously never referring to Humphries by name, only as “someone else.”
The 31-year-old mogul said when she “realized the marriage wasn't what I thought,” she “tried to really respectful of everyone involved.”
“I wanted to be fair to me, but I also wanted to be fair to someone else,” Kim said, adding “when I knew it wasn't right” she realized a split would be better sooner than later.
“I've heard stories of people who were married for 10 years and they knew it wasn't right, but they wanted to stick it out and had kids,” she said
