Marriages end, and it's heartbreaking. When two people walk down the aisle together, the belief is that they plan on staying together forever—but unfortunately, that's not always the way it happens. Even after vows are exchanged and despite the "till death do us part" bit, people sometimes find themselves filing for divorce, and for some, it's a lot quicker than others.
Some celebs have had to face the pain of a divorce in front of the public and the shame that comes with their marriages ending so quickly. Kim Kardashian has been ridiculed for years after her marriage to Kris Humphries came to an end just 72 days after the pair said "I do." For other stars like Nicky Jam, their happily ever after also didn't last forever and he and his ex-wife, Angelica Cruz, called it quits after just 18 months together.
