Once Kim Kardashian marries Kris Humphries, she'll be spending lots of time with her new hubby in New Jersey, where he currently resides.

And while Jersey sometimes gets a bad rap, there's lots to love about living there.

Just ask Cali-turned-Jersey girl and fellow E! reality star Coco.

"She's gonna like it," Coco told me recently. "She's gonna like the seasons and the snowfall to the awesome springs here!"

Another benefit of Jersey living? You get all of the Big Apple action at a fraction of the price.

"Number one is you're so close to the city," Coco explained. "It's less money than Manhattan and it's 10 minutes away, but you're not paying to live in the city. It's less taxes."

You also have more space, which is nice if Kim and Kris want to start a family sometime soon.

"I need land around me. I need space. In New York, you don't have any space," Coco added.

Plus, plenty of really awesome people come from Jersey, like Kelly Ripa, Chelsea Handler and the writer of this very column.

Even Lady Gaga was spotted enjoying the Jersey Shore herself just last weekend! If it's good enough for Gaga, that's saying something, right?

So take heart, Kim...there's plenty more to this state than what you see on MTV. Welcome to the club!
