In a statement to E! - which screens her TV show - Kim said: 'After careful consideration, I have decided to end my marriage. I hope everyone understands this was not an easy decision.
'I had hoped this marriage was forever, but sometimes things don't work out as planned. We remain friends and wish each other the best.'
Kris, meanwhile, says he is devastated by Kim's decision, with TMZ claiming he only learnt she was divorcing him this morning.
'I'm committed to this marriage and everything this covenant represents,' he said in a statement via his representative.

Kim ensured they both signed a prenuptial agreement before they got hitched at a lavish ceremony on August 20 in Montecito, California.
It netted the couple a reported $18m from magazine deals, TV coverage and endorsements - that's $250,000 every day.
News of their divorce will no doubt add fuel to the fire that the wedding was merely a cynical manoeuvre to cash in at a time when Kim's star had reached its zenith.
Today Kim took to Twitter, but rather than mentioning anything about her marital breakdown cynically plugged her new boutique Kardashian Khaos, which opens tomorrow at The Mirage hotel in Las Vegas.
Meanwhile, Khloe Kardashian also took to her Twitter account to defend her elder sister against negative comments.
'Reading some of these comments r so hurtful,' she wrote. 'I'm grateful 4our fans who understand & r being respectful. Hate is disgusting. Love is everything.'
She then added on a later tweet: 'Thank God for family. We are strong and we will only become closer! I love YOU.'

She has hired top divorce lawyer Laura Wasser, who has dealt with the likes of Britney Spears, Maria Shriver, Angelina Jolie and Ryan Reynolds.
According to Us Weekly, the couple's assets will be divided in accordance with their prenuptial agreement.
Kim's assets prior to the marriage are said to all be protected, and she will also keep everything she earned during their short union.
Television network E! - which screens the Kardashian reality show - released a statement about the divorce.
