On her website and app, Kim laughed about her doomed 72-day marriage to Kris Humphries, though it certainly was no laughing matter at the time. “We have a lot in common. We both got married for two months once,” she said.

Decades prior, Mary Jo married her high school sweetheart. “I can’t believe it because I was married for two months at 18. Right out of high school I was given an engagement ring, a guy I had been going with for four years,” she said.

“And then I just thought, ‘You know what? This isn’t really that much fun,’ so I got out of it. Once you got married you realized it. ‘What did I do?’ And you try to stay in there for a month or so and really try hard and you just can’t. You think, ‘I shouldn’t waste his time,’ ” she added.

She told Andy Cohen earlier this year, “At the time I just thought, ‘Holy sh**, I’m 30-years-old -- I better get this together. I better get married,’” she admitted. “I think a lot of girls do go through that, where they freak out thinking they’re getting old and all their friends are having kids. So, it was more of that situation. But I knew on the honeymoon it wasn’t going to work out.”
