Can Kim and Kanye beat the Kardashian wedding curse?
Love, or the lack there of, is a numbers game for the Kardashian clan and the odds are certainly not in their favour.
Only one marriage out of 11 trips down the aisle has not ended up in divorce or separation for the Kardashian women, Bruce Jenner or the late Robert Kardashian.
But on Monday, Kanye West, 35, ever the bold, decided to take a chance and propose to the woman who he's seemingly been in love with for years.
Can they make it? Kim Kardashian and Kanye West are engaged but the odds of them making it to their golden wedding anniversary
To mark Kim's 33rd birthday, the hip hop star hired a stadium in San Francisco and asked his 'perfect b****' to do him the honour of becoming his wife.
But the odds are against them.
With the announcement that Kris and Bruce have split after 22 years together two weeks ago, the extended family now have seven divorces and three separations between them.
The only person to remain married was the late Robert Kardashian and his wife Ellen Pierson, who were married just eight weeks prior to his death from cancer.
Ironically it is the relationship in the Kardashian family that has not involved marriage - Kourtney Kardashian and Scott Disick - that seems to be the most successful.
