In case you haven't been keeping up, the recent Kimye wedding recently saw the union of two huge celebrity icons, marking Kanye West's first marriage and Kim Kardashian's third. To poke a little fun at just how short some Hollywood couples' marriages can be, New York Sports Clubs sent out a printed at that speaks directly to Kanye, warning him to stay in shape, since Kim's marriage to NBA player Kris Humphries only lasted 72 days.
The ad recently ran in the New York Post, also playing on the tendency for people to let themselves slip out of shape during married life. Although it's a little exploitative, this couple seems to like to get people talking and we will just have to wait and see how long Kim and Kanye are able to stick together.
