Kardashian's lawyer Laura Wasser filed the legal documents on Friday afternoon in L.A. Superior Court, citing "irreconcilable differences" as the reason for divorce. TMZ first reported of the reality star's plans to file that morning. On Thursday, Kardashian, 29, posted a cryptic message on Instagram: "I am strong because I've been weak. I am fearless because I've been afraid. I am wise because I've been foolish," it read.

The basketball player and Keeping Up With the Kardashians star married in September 2009. Despite attempts at repairing their marriage, the two have been estranged over the last several months following revelations of Odom's drug use and cheating. The athlete was arrested for a DUI in late August.
