Kris Humphries-Kim Kardashian marriage a sham?

Basketball player Kris Humphries' family has broken their silence over his short-lived marriage with Kim Kardashian, accusing the latter of cheating.

Kim married Kim in August 2011 in a much hyped and televised manner but separated after just 72 days.

According to Humphries' aunt Dedria, it was just a way to boost the TRPs of Kim's reality show "Keeping Up With Kardashians", reports thesun.co.uk.

"It was a sham. My understanding of marriage is people are going to give it more than 72 days unless there's serious abuse," Dedria said.

The divorce is yet to be finalised as Humphries wants annulment of the marriage.

"An annulment says it wasn't valid in the first place. She should admit that it was a sham at the very least," she said.

Meanwhile, Kim is expecting her first child with boyfriend Kanye West.
