Kim Kardashian and Kris Humphries gave fans an intimate look at their Italian honeymoon just a month before announcing their shocking divorce. The pair, who were married for a brief 72 days, posed for a romantic photoshoot in Italy for a September 2011 issue of Us Weekly, where they hinted at plans for a future together.

The whirlwind romance between Kardashian, now 43, and Humphries, now 39, began in late 2010 and quickly escalated to an engagement by May 2011. Their lavish wedding was broadcast in a two-part special on season 6 of Keeping Up With the Kardashians, showcasing what appeared to be a fairytale love story. However, just 72 days after walking down the aisle, Kardashian filed for divorce, citing irreconcilable differences.

In their exclusive honeymoon interview with Us Weekly, Kardashian and Humphries shared details of their romantic escape to Italy, where they were photographed enjoying each other’s company against the backdrop of scenic landscapes. The couple appeared blissfully happy and even discussed the possibility of starting a family, making their eventual split all the more surprising to fans.

Despite the initial hopes and public displays of affection, the reality of their marriage set in quickly. On October 31, 2011, Kardashian released a statement announcing the end of their marriage:
“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
