Kim Kardashian is spilling the tea on her whirlwind marriage to Kris Humphries, revealing that her ex-husband not only partially paid for her extravagant 18-carat engagement ring—but also demanded it back after their split.
On the latest episode of The Kardashians, Kim reminisced with her sister Khloé Kardashian about her past relationships, revisiting the engagement rings she received from ex-husbands Damon Thomas and Kris Humphries.
Kim Paid for Most of Her Own Ring?
Kim recalled that Humphries proposed with a massive emerald-cut diamond from celebrity jeweler Lorraine Schwartz—a clear upgrade from the 14-carat cushion-cut ring she had during her marriage to music producer Damon Thomas.
However, she dropped a shocking revelation:
- Humphries only covered 20% of the ring’s cost.
- Kim paid for the remaining 80% herself.
- After their highly publicized divorce, Kris demanded the ring back while she was pregnant with North West.
Kim’s close friend, Chris Appleton, reacted to the news by calling Humphries “savage.”
A Marriage That Lasted Just 72 Days
Kim and Kris’s marriage was one of the shortest in Hollywood history, lasting just 72 days before Kim filed for divorce in 2011. The split became a media circus, with speculation that the entire wedding was staged for TV ratings.
