Speculation that the marriage might have been a publicity stunt has surrounded the nuptials in the wake of the couple’s recent divorce.

“First and foremost, I married for love,” wrote Kardashian in her blog. “I can’t believe I even have to defend this. I would not have spent so much time on something just for a TV show!”

Kardashian and Humphries earned an estimated $18 million from the airing of their wedding, according to reports.

“It seems hard to believe that the marriage was for real given the fact that it ended so quickly and she made so much money on it,” said crisis management expert Glenn Selig to Fox News.

It is unclear why the couple is divorcing after less than three months of marriage.

Records show Kardashian cited “irreconcilable differences” when she filed for divorce frorm Humphries.

“I got caught up with the hoopla and the filming of the TV show that when I probably should have ended my relationship, I didn’t know how to and didn’t want to disappoint a lot of people,” Kardashian wrote.

It is unclear how much of the couple’s marriage and relationship will air during the televisions series.
