Kim Kardashian Exposes the Truth About Kris Humphries: What Really Happened With the Ring?

Hold onto your diamonds, darlings, because Kim Kardashian just dropped a bombshell that's got everyone buzzing. Forget the Met Gala, this revelation is the real showstopper. In a recent episode of The Kardashians, Kim peeled back the layers of her past, specifically her infamous 72-day marriage to former NBA player Kris Humphries, and the story of her engagement ring is more dramatic than any reality TV plotline. Turns out, that dazzling 18-karat emerald cut wasn't exactly a gift from the heart or the wallet.
During a candid chat with her sister Khloe, Kim, always one for a sparkling confession, decided to reminisce about her engagement rings. "I wonder what my next ring shape will be on my last and final hoorah," she mused, before diving into the details of her past bling. She recounted her first ring, a cushion cut, and then landed on the Humphries era. Here's where the drama kicks in: she revealed that she didn't keep the ring. Why? Because, according to Kim, Humphries demanded it back as a condition of their divorce while she was pregnant with their daughter, North West.

But the real kicker? Kim claims she footed the lion's share of the bill. "He contributed a fifth," she clarified, leaving her hairstylist, Chris Appleton, and viewers alike, in a state of stunned disbelief. "Savage," Appleton declared, and honestly, we couldn't have said it better ourselves. Jewelry designer Lorraine Schwartz, present during the conversation, reassured Kim that parting with the ring was for the best.

Despite the short-lived marriage, Kim has clearly moved on, even joking about calling Humphries when Khloe reconnected with Lamar Odom. While she rarely delves into her past with Humphries, this episode provided a rare glimpse into a chaotic chapter of her life. It's a reminder that even in the world of glitz and glamour, reality can be surprisingly raw and, well, expensive. Kim's revelation has certainly added another layer to the Kardashian saga, proving that even after all these years, she still knows how to keep us entertained and informed.
