Khloé Kardashian, 29, today filed for divorce from her husband of four years, Lamar Odom, 34.
In the Los Angeles Superior Court petition, Kardashian cites "irreconcilable differences" for the reason behind the split. The couple has a prenup, so the division of their assets should be fairly tidy.
Friday's filing caps months of drama rife with reports of drug abuse, infidelity, and even forgiveness, and ends a marriage that once seemed too good to be true.
The two had a whirlwind romance, and shocked everyone when they tied the knot in September 2009 after just one month of dating.
But Kardashian and Odom appeared to to have a genuine connection, as they immortalized in the (much-lampooned) ad for their unisex fragrance, Unbroken.
"There is a beauty of believing that one cannot exist without the other, that sometimes the bond between two souls is truly unbreakable," the couple said in the commercial.
Still, people definitely had their doubts about the marriage. Infidelity rumors dogged Lamar, and Khloé's well-publicized struggle to become pregnant put additional strain on the union. Regardless, the couple appeared to be solid despite any negative tabloid headlines that would occasionally pop up about their relationship.
However, those rumors became faces over the summer when multiple women claimed to have had affairs with the NBA player. In the meantime, Odom's substance use had gone from recreational to worrisome following the NBA season last April. On Aug. 30, he was arrested for a DUI after he was seen driving his white Mercedes SUV erratically on an L.A. freeway just before 4 a.m.
In what appeared to be a step in the right direction, Odom checked into rehab in early September ... however, he checked right back out after only one day. With Odom refusing to get help, Khloé reportedly kicked the NBA player out of their shared home. The two began living separate lives as he stayed at his apartment in downtown Los Angeles while Khloé hid out at her mom's.
Despite putting on a brave face on social media, Khloé made some not so subtle changes to her monikers. On Sept. 4, the "Keeping Up With the Kardashians" star dropped "Odom" from her Instagram name, going simply by "Khloé Kardashian." The following day, Lamar broke his silence on the social media platform defending the Kardashians and slamming his father.
Kardashian has not been photographed wearing her wedding ring since Nov. 23, and went back to posting cryptic messages on Instagram and Twitter. On Thursday, she shared a picture with the quote, "I am strong because I've been weak. I am fearless because I've been afraid. I am wise because I've been foolish."
The marriage was the first for both.
