Kris Jenner’s Darkest Secrets About Kim Kardashian & Kanye West’s Marriage — Schemes & Signs They Could Be Faking It

As Star has reported, Kim Kardashian and Kanye West have been experiencing marriage problems. But according to insiders involved with Ian Halperin's new book, Kardashian Dynasty, the marriage was a sham from the very start!

According to the source, Kim's mom Kris Jenner orchestrated the marriage in a desperate bid to keep their family relevant.

“Kim’s marriage to Kris Humphries had collapsed after just 72 days and with the media claiming their relationship was just a publicity stunt, there were debates going on behind the scenes about whether the show was toast,” the publishing insider told RadarOnline.com. “There was a real danger that the plug was going to be pulled on them."

Terrified of losing their reality empire, Kris devised a plan. “Halperin says he discovered that Kris Jenner called a crisis meeting and came up with the idea of moving the plot forward by having Kim date someone else who was fashionable and ideally of African American descent," the source said. “In the end, Halperin says the list included one Caucasian, Justin Bieber, as well as Kanye, Nick Young, of the LA Lakers, and Matt Kemp, of the LA Dodgers, who once dated Rihanna."

“Kim settled on Kanye, though at first she thought he was too short for her."

Seeing an opportunity to advance his own status, Kanye reportedly agreed. “Halperin says that Kris was upfront with Kanye about this being a set up and he agreed because he thought his star as well as Kim’s would be augmented."

However, they eventually did grow more fond of one another, and grew a family. “It became friends with benefits and Kim got pregnant and they really did fall for each other.”

Now, the entire charade has unraveled, as Kim quietly visits with divorce attorneys to plan her next move.
