Kim Kardashian’s failed marriage to basketball star Kris Humphries has jinxed the Montecito, Calif. home where the nuptials were exchanged, Breaking Celebrity News is exclusively reporting.

The stunning estate, which is owned by venture capitalist Frank Caulfield, used to be a haven for the very wealthy to stage their elaborate weddings, as well as a prime location for filming.

However, since Kim’s big day the home has been rarely used, with the owner blaming the reality star for making the 1926 George Washington Smith-designed Spanish Colonial mansion appear a tacky option for wannabe punters. And now, Schmidt is even considering selling the place!

“Since Kim married Kris at Eric’s Montecito home, no one wants to get married there any more,” a source said.

“Before Kim, the home was often used in the Summer months as a place where the rich could hold their private weddings – but now couples are shunning the estate because they think the place is jinxed.

“They saw that Kim’s marriage lasted just 72 days – and they just don’t want the same fate happening to them.
