This is will be the third marriage for Kim Kardashian, who had a very public and short-lived marriage with NBA player Kris Humphries. Their divorce was finalized in June of this year. Although they were only married for 72 days from August to October of 2011, it wasn’t easy for the two to part, leading to contentious battles between the pair. Kim was also married to Damon Thomas, a music producer, from 2000 to 2004.

If I were a betting man…

The odds of the marriage between Kanye West and Kim  lasting aren’t good. In fact, online bookmaker Paddy Power puts the odds on Kimye’s marriage lasting less than two years at 2-1, and given her history, this might be a good guess. Her first marriage lasted four years; her second only 72 days.

Others who know Kim aren’t giving the union much chance of survival either. Her ex-father-in-law, William Humphries doesn’t believe a leopard really changes its spots. According to the NBA dad, “Not much changes. It’s just different actors this time around.”

Celebrity divorce lawyer Raoul Felder, has suggested that Kanye West and Kim Kardashian protect themselves with a prenuptial agreement. According to Felder, “the pair has careers that could become even more valuable and each one could claim the other one helped their career.
