Following Kris and Kim's 2011 divorce, Jaxson alleged that the couple faked their relationship for the cameras, telling the Los Angeles morning show Good Day L.A., "It was obvious that it was staged...There were contracts already in place for E! to film it. Everything was written down."

Kim's camp told UsWeekly that the 31-year-old reality star is content with today's settlement.

"Kim Kardashian is very happy to announce that she has reached a settlement of her claims against Jonathan Jaxson. . .Kim is extremely pleased with the outcome of the matter."
