Annulment Marriage Filed Married Famous Star Actress Singer

"Celebrities" (famous athletes, musicians, actors, etc.) have a "reputation" (the way someone is known or thought of) for entering very short marriages that end in divorce or annulment shortly after the wedding. Here are some of the best-known annulments among American celebrities.

On November 30, 2011, "reality show" (a television show that records people's daily lives) "star" (famous person) Kim Kardashian filed for an annulment of her marriage to "NBA" (National Basketball Association) star Kris Humphries after they had been married for just 72 days.

Actress Renee Zellweger and country-western singer Kenny Chesney "filed for" (applied for; officially submitted the paperwork for) an annulment just four months after they were married. Fraud was "cited" (referred to) as the reason for the annulment.

NBA star Dennis Rodman filed for annulment of his marriage to "model" (an attractive person who is photographed to advertise clothing and other products) and actress Carmen Electra just nine days after they were married in a "spur-of-the-moment" (done spontaneously, without planning) wedding in Las Vegas, Nevada. The papers cited fraud and an "unsound mind" (an inability to think rationally or clearly).

Pop singer Britney Spears filed for annulment even more quickly, just 55 hours after she married her "childhood sweetheart" (someone whom one loved while still a child or teenager in school), Jason Alexander, in Las Vegas. The papers stated that the reason for annulment was that she "'lacked' (did not have) understanding of her actions to the extent that she was 'incapable of' (not able to) agreeing to the marriage."
