Seven celebrities who have been married the most, from Elizabeth Taylor to Larry King

In a recent episode of her family's new Hulu reality show, The Kardashians , Kim Kardashian revealed her hopes to marry again, after her split from third husband Kanye West . Making light of the number of times she has already said "I do", the mother-of-four said she hoped to tie the knot for a fourth time in the future. Speaking to her mother, Kris Jenner, and sisters Kendall and Kylie Jenner , she said: "To me, a baby, you're stuck for life. Marriages come and go, take it from me. “I believe in love. That’s why, hopefully, there will be just one more wedding for me. Fourth time’s the charm!” And while Kardashian may have joked about how many times she has married, in the world of celebrity, her three failed marriages are far from extreme.
