Sherri Shepherd and Lamar Sally - Former The View co-host Sherri Shepherd thought she found her prince charming when she married TV writer Lamar Sally in August 2011, but things got complicated when the couple started searching for a surrogate. In May 2014, Lamar filed for separation and Sherri filed for divorce days later. Things got even more complicated when Lamar petitioned an LA court for full legal and physical custody of their unborn child via surrogacy, born in August 2014. Since the child has none of the actress's DNA, she told a judge she believes Lamar tricked her to secure a child support check, and requested a plea to avoid paying child support. It was fully denied and she's required to pay monthly payments of $4,600 to her ex-husband.(Photo: Donna Ward/Getty Images)

Kim Kardashian and Kris Humphries - One of the shortest celebrity marriages on record seemed doomed from the moment they said, "I do" — on camera. The reality star filed for divorce, citing the old standby “irreconcilable differences,” after just 72 days as man and wife. Humphries demanded an annulment based on fraud and even subpoenaed KUWTK producers, Kris Jenner, and Kanye West to prove that the marriage was a sham for ratings. He sealed it recently with an awkward tweet in response to former father-in-law Bruce Jenner's reveal that he is transgender. "Glad I got out when I did," Humphries wrote.
