Kim Kardashian has instructed her high powered divorce attorney, Laura Wasser, to formally petition that her divorce from her husband of 72 days, Kris Humphries, be heard by a private mediator and doesn't want it to play out in public or on camera, RadarOnline.com is exclusively reporting.

The E! reality star and Humphries were married in an extravagant, on camera wedding at a mansion in Montecito, California last summer. The subsequent wedding special on E! was a ratings blockbuster, but there was trouble immediately between the newlyweds.

Humphries was reportedly stunned when Kim decided to file for divorce on Halloween last year. As RadarOnline.com previously reported, Kris wants a judge to throw out the pre-nup the couple signed so he won't be muzzled by the confidentiality clause of the agreement, and he is willing to go to trial to get what he wants.

“A public trial is the last thing that Kim wants, and she has instructed her lawyer to formally petition the court so that the divorce can be heard by a mediator, which is routinely done in California, since it's a no-fault state,” a source close to the situation tells RadarOnline.com.

“Kim doesn't want a long drawn out trial. She wants the mediation to be private, confidential, and legally binding. She and Kris have no assets together and kept separate bank accounts, so this is a fairly routine divorce proceeding. Kim just wants this over and done with.”

Meanwhile, despite accusations that the couple wed for the cameras and monetary gain, Humphries told Access Hollywood that his short lived marriage was real. "To me it was real. I would never go through something or do something that wasn't real or I didn't believe in, so I can really only speak for myself in terms of that."

The New Jersey Nets star added that he’s still single and isn't dating.

I don't think a 72 day marriage is routine. Kris should have it annulled.

72 days What makes Kim think this will be a long drawn out trial ? She should give Kris half the wedding gifts and Kris should sue 4 lost wages he would have got from the show. Maybe Kim should just offer him 20 million and be done

Chris should be entitled to damages. He's a down home boy who thought this airhead loved him.

She insisted on making her failed marriage a part of her show (for ratings) so I don't think she should be allowed to try and cover anything up at this point. Chris deserves his shot. Can't have it both ways Kimmie.

Of course she wants it private. She doesn't want all the nasty little details to come out. We already know what an idiot you are Kim so there's no reason not to let the public in on it.

Kim the skank just doesn't want the truth of how fake, fraudulent, and manipulative the marriage and wedding was. She is so transparent it is sickening. What a true skank.

She is such a hoe bag. Good luck to Kris. He was a fool to marry her knowing her vagina is a damn revolving door.

I bet she does want it private! For once, the K family doesn't want a camera! Interesting. Go Kris, I hope it's live just to expose the scam and this family!
