Kim Kardashian is officially single as divorce from Kris Humphries is finalised

A year and seven months after filing for divorce, the final stamp was a long time coming for the 32-year-old reality star who is expecting a daughter with Kanye West in the next month â€" place your due date and baby weight bets here, sweepstake fans.

'All the single ladies, all the single ladies...'

 

After a measly 72-day marriage (you can do the sums) Kim was starting to worry that she’d still be married when she gave birth. We know this because we’ve seen a preview from upcoming episodes of Keeping Up With The Kardashians where Kim sobs and admits she’s scared the legal wrangling will drag on so long that she’ll still be married to Humphries when she becomes a mum (or mom, if you are Kim). And that, we’d all probably agree, is not ideal.

Great news then that Kim is a free woman, especially amidst rumours that Kanye is waiting in wings to put a ring on it. And the news might explain why Kim tweeted a picture of some pretty white roses with the caption "Always making me feel special for no reason." Except it's not really 'no' reason is it, Kim? This is big news! Unravel the bunting and pull a party popper, you are free!

An order from the Los Angeles Superior Court shows Kim Kardashian and Kris Humphries are officially divorced. PROOF.

 

After a week that saw the pregnant star looking a vision of something we'll call 'angel-ness' in white Lanvin at her Beverly Hills baby shower, and a more chilled lunch date with her sister Kourtney and niece Penelope, KK has more good stuff to celebrate. For she's a jolly fellow, for she's a jolly good fellow, etc, etc.

Kim = angel-ness

 

Kris and Kim initially came to a divorce agreement in April but things were dragged on, and on, and on, when the basketball star pushed for an annulment based on claims that Kim only married him as a publicity stunt. Oh do keep up.

Now a Los Angeles judge has confirmed (probably with a strike of his gavel, we like to think) that the pair, who married in a bumper two-part E! special but split 72 days later in 2011, came to an out-of-court settlement.

Kim and Kris in happier times

 

So all that worrying was unnecessary Kim, you are officially a single lady and you still will be when you become a baby momma. Unless of course Kanye pulls something diamond-shaped out of the proverbial bag between now and b-day... Oh go on Kanye, give us a happy ending.
