Kim Kardashian asked whether she married Kris Humphries 'for show' in tense interview

She's currently in the process of divorcing rapper Kanye West but the focus is on Kim Kardashian's second husband in a new teaser clip for the KUWTK reunion.

The 40-year-old reality TV star is currently separated from husband number three Kanye, who's the father of her children, and was previously married to sports star Kris Humphries and musician Damon Thomas.

In an explosive preview of the Kardashian family's tell-all interview with Andy Cohen, we see ex-husband Kris appear to be the main topic of one conversation.

In the short clip, host Andy reveals "there are no ground rules" as he goes about grilling Kim and her family as they marked the end of their show, Keeping Up with the Kardashians.

In one scene, Andy brings up Kim's marriage to Kris and asks if she went through with the wedding because it was being filmed for the reality show.

Viewers see him ask Kim: "Would you say you partially went through with the wedding because of the show?"

Kim famously filed for divorce from the basketball player in 2011 after just 72 days of marriage in 2011.

Over the last decade, Kim has been accused of using the wedding as a publicity stunt for the show but she had frequently denied those claims in the past.

Speaking about the breakdown of her second marriage on Oprah's Next Chapter, the star said: "We have an amazing fanbase that watch our show. We don't do anything for ratings."

"And then I just think anyone that knows me knows that I love so hard, I fall in love fast, and I was in love. And I wanted a life that I've always pictured my fairy tale life to be."

The star tied the knot with Kris in a lavish ceremony in August 2011 after dating for less than a year.

The publicity surrounding their vows was huge and Kim cashed in on the attention, releasing her 'wedding fragrance' called Kim Kardashian Love around the time of her big day.

Their wedding was a ratings winner for Keeping Up with the Kardashians as a two-part special surrounding the preparations and the ceremony itself was aired on E! in October 2011.

"Kim's Fairytale Wedding: A Kardashian Event" attracted a whopping 4.4 million viewers on the first night of airing and another 4 million the second.

However, in the same month Kim filed for divorce, citing "irreconcilable differences," shortly after the show episodes premiered.

At the time, Kris issued a statement saying: "I love my wife and am devastated to learn she filed for divorce. I'm willing to do whatever it takes to make it work."

The pair were eventually divorced in 2013 after a lengthy court battle.

By that time, Kim had gone to find love with the man who would become her third husband, Kanye and was pregnant with the couple's first child, North West.
