“Kim Speaks Out”

Furious about Kris Humphries demand for an annulment, Kim Kardashian gives her side of the story

Kim Kardashian had hoped she could take the high road. She thought that the controversy would die down if she stayed silent. But then Kris Humphries went public with his accusation that their marriage was built on fraud, saying he would seek an annulment — and Kim’s world came crashing down all over again. “When Kim saw that he was filing for fraud in the annulment she just shook her head,” recalls a confidante. “She was just so mad and upset and frustrated.”

“I believe in love and the dream of having a perfect relationship, but my idea of it has changed,” Kim said in a post split interview. “I think I need not live in a fairy tale like that. I think I maybe need to just snap out of it and be a little more realistic.”

KIM OPENS UP

Kris’ accusation that their marriage was a “fraud” made Kim, 31, cry, admits a pal. But knowing it was time to finally speak out, she turned first to her friends.

“Kris has his side of what happened, and I have my side of the story,” Kim said, according to a close friend. “But we both contributed to the marriage not working out. We both jumped into it too fast. And now we both have to publicly go through the breakup with the whole world judging and watching.”

But their marriage was never a fake. Kim really did want to marry Kris, 26, for all the right reasons, say those around her. She wanted a partner and a family — the perfect sort of romantic dream that everyone wants. “She did not commit fraud,” insists an insider. “She truly was in love with him and wanted to live happily ever after. Her heartbreak is genuine.”

SHE FELT TRAPPED

Kim’s fairy tale ended shortly after the wedding hoopla died down. “Kim quickly realized after the honeymoon that she and Kris just weren’t compatible, and she had just made the biggest mistake of her life,” says a Kardashian relative, who believes that Kim knew she was going to leave Kris before this season of Kourtney & Kim Take New York was finished filming. “I think she knew for a while that she [wasn’t going to spend a] lifetime with Kris.”

The first insider agrees: “Kim’s decision to divorce didn’t come out of nowhere — things between her and Kris were horrible from the moment they walked down the aisle.”

Kim, insists the relative, didn’t know how to admit her mistake in marrying Kris so soon after their extravagant wedding, so she let the marriage go on for 72 days until the season finished taping. “She’s really not a fake,” says her relative. “She was just on this runaway train with no easy way off.”

“I saw her recently and she’s really shook up,” adds the relative, who admits that the entire Kardashian clan is concerned about what Kris will say or do next. “The family is worried about how angry Kris is and how far he will go.”

Kim’s family’s fears go beyond Kris damaging their “brand,” too. They are all genuinely worried for Kim.

“Kim isn’t superhuman. People seem to have this idea that because she’s on TV, she’s some sort of robot,” says the insider. “She’s just been through this awful breakup and she’s hurting. Now what Kris is doing is making it hurt that much more. The truth is that she’s extremely emotional and very sensitive and she is having a very hard time dealing with all this.”

SHE WILL SURVIVE

Since the divorce, Kim has mostly been using her Twitter account for business purposes — like letting fans know about the new season — but on Nov. 26, she sent out a Tweet that indicated how much she was still hurting: “Celebrating other peoples [sic] pain & misfortune will only bring bad things your way,” Kim Tweeted. “Maybe don’t be too quick to judge & tear others apart.”

This whole experience — from her unhappy marriage to the public backlash — has tempered Kim’s dreams. Now, with two failed marriages behind her, she’s beginning to wonder if motherhood is one goal she’ll never realize. “At first I was like, I want six kids. Then I went down to four, then I was down to three, and now I’m like, maybe I won’t have any,” she told Glamour. “Maybe I’ll just be a good aunt. At this moment in my life, I feel like maybe I am not supposed to have kids and all that.”

But others predict that Kim will eventually bounce back. “She knows she made a huge mistake by marrying Kris,” says the insider, “but she’s ready to accept the consequences of that and move forward with her life.”

“Mason Wants a Boy!”

As Kourtney Kardashian glows with a new pregnancy, her toddler son is rooting for a little brother

If her past pregnancy is any indication, the next few months should be a blast for Kourtney Kardashian, who announced last week that she’s expecting her second child with boyfriend Scott Disick.

“I loved being pregnant,” Kourtney tells OK!.

“The whole family is so happy that Kourtney is pregnant again,” her cousin, Cindy Behr, tells OK!. “She’s been wanting this for a while. This was very much planned. Obviously, Kourtney and Scott are ready to make their relationship work. They’ve had some tough times, and Kourt was holding off getting pregnant with Scott to see if things with them would improve. And they have. So this is a good sign.”

MASON’S PSYCHED

No one is happier about the big news than Kourtney and Scott’s photogenic 2-year-old son, Mason, who is already anxious for a sibling to play with — or tease, as the case may be. The question is, does the toddler want a brother or a sister? Both Kourtney and Scott are on record as hoping to give the world yet another Kardashian girl. Mason? Not so much.

“He’s only 2 so he’s still grasping that Mommy has a baby in her tummy,” the insider tells OK!. “But it appears Mason’s already got his heart set on having a brother. He’s just very much a boy’s boy. But whatever happens he’ll be happy — he’s just a happy little guy!”

Of course, the new addition provides a boost to the entire Kardashian clan, both for the brand — every life event becomes reality TV fodder — and on a personal level, as they endure Kim’s painful split from Kris Humphries along with the usual dramas.

FOR SCOTT, IT’S A TURN-ON

Scott “might be more excited about the baby than Kourtney,” a source tells OK!. And there are fringe benefits.

“Scott thought I was the hottest pregnant mom ever,” Kourtney tells OK!. “He was always going, ‘You’re so hot, you’re so hot.’ ”

The operative word is “hot.” Scott was particularly turned on by Kourtney’s ritual of slathering oils and lotions over her olive-skinned form.

“From my neck to my feet,” she says. “On my stomach, on my boobs, on my butt… everything. Scott would sit and watch and he’d love it and be, like, ‘You’re so sexy and have the best body.’ ”

Kourtney loved her preggers bod, too — it was liberating to not obsess over her figure. “I loved, like, whenever I gained weight during my pregnancy. I never felt gross or fat or anything. I always felt really good.”

GETTING HER BODY BACK

As for her post-baby bod, Kourtney is already planning for it. “They say that it takes a full year to really get your body back to what it was before — and I believe that,” Kourtney tells OK!. “I kind of lost 20 pounds right away last time. Then it just stopped. There was a point when I wondered if my body would ever get back to the way I remembered it.”

And so as a pre-emptive measure, Kourtney’s sticking to regular exercise. “My favorite way to work out is to put on my iPod and go jogging,” she says.

MASON’S MOMMY TIME

So far, Kourtney’s second pregnancy has had some rough spots.

“Kourtney is very sick right now. She’s nine weeks pregnant,” a source close to the family tells OK!. “[The clan] is getting together for an annual Christmas breakfast on Dec. 11; she’s said she’s planning to come, but if she’s still feeling sick, she may not.”

Kourt is trying to spend as much time as she can with Mason. She knows that once the child’s born she’s not going to be able to give as much attention.”

And soon, it will be all about Mason’s little sib — whatever its gender.

“You’re taking care of another human being,” Kourtney tells OK!. “And just doing that stuff is the big focus.”
