Kim Kardashian Paid for a Majority of Kris Humphries Engagement Ring


0


Kim Kardashian might have one lingering regret from her swift divorce from Kris Humphries.

The SKIMS founder was famously married to the former NBA player for just 72 days in 2011, and on the March 13 episode of The Kardashians, she reflected on the engagement ring he gave her — or, more accurately, she got herself.

As she mused to her sister Khloé Kardashian, Kim, 44, said, “I wonder what my next ring shape will be — on my last and final hoorah,” before taking a trip down memory lane to revisit each of her three engagement rings.

“Number one was a cushion cut, 14-karat,” she said, referring to her four-year marriage to Damon Thomas.

Her second engagement ring, which Humphries proposed to her with, was an 18-karat emerald cut from Lorraine Schwartz, she said.

“I didn’t keep that,” she revealed. “I was pregnant with [daughter] North [West], still married to him and in order to divorce him, he said I had to give him the ring in my divorce,” she explained of Humphries.

The demand was made worse when Kim noted that she was the one who bought the ring. “He contributed a fifth,” she clarified.

“Jesus,” her hairstylist and friend Chris Appleton said after hearing the story, which he called “savage.”

Schwartz — who was with Kim and Khloé as well on their trip to Mumbai for the July 2024 Ambani wedding, which the episode documented — told Kim it was for the “best” that she got rid of the ring.

“But I would’ve loved a collection,” she admitted.

E!


Kim — who went on to marry Kanye West and welcome three other kids with him after her divorce from Humphries — rarely talks about her short-lived marriage to Humphries, though she did joke about giving him a call after Khloé, 40, reunited with her ex-husband Lamar Odom earlier this season.

“Should I call Kris Humphries?” she asked her sister and mom Kris Jenner after Khloé revealed she’d seen Odom, 45, recently.

“That’s what I said,” Khloé replied. “Get all the ex-husbands on here.”

In 2021, Kim admitted that she “felt pressured” to go through with her 2011 wedding to Humphries because it was going to be filmed for Keeping Up with the Kardashians.

“I thought, ‘Okay, we’re filming this for a TV show. If I leave, I’m going to be known as the runaway bride forever and it’s going to be a huge joke, and I think I just have cold feet.’ So I was like, ‘Okay guys, it’s just cold feet, I got this, it’s cold feet, we’re filming the show.'”

In hindsight, she said she handled their breakup “the wrong way” — and owes him an apology.

“I was so nervous to break up with someone, I handled it totally the wrong way. I fully broke up with him in the worst way, and I couldn’t… I just didn’t know how to deal. I learned so much from it,” she added.
