My diamond earring came off in the ocean,\u2019 wailed Kim Kardashian from the crystal waters of her family holiday in Bora Bora in 2011. An instant piece of reality TV history, Kim\u2019s breakdown proved quite how seriously she takes her diamonds (the earrings were estimated to be worth $75k) and also how ill-suited she was to her new boyfriend, Kris Humphries \u2013 the oaf who threw her fully clothed into the sea.<\/p>\n Despite repeated signs of incompatibility \u2013 Humphries was dismissive of her career, rude to her family, obnoxious to members of staff and seemed hellbent on getting her friend Jonathan Cheban, who has repeatedly said he is not gay, to come out \u2013 Kim got swept away in the fairytale and by August they were married.<\/p>\n The couple had been dating for less than a year when Humphries proposed, covering the floor of her Calabasas home with candles and red rose petals and bending down on one knee with an 18-karat emerald cut diamond in his hand.<\/p>\n Unfortunately, the reality star\u2019s doubts began to set in at the worst moment \u2013 just before their $10 million wedding featuring 150 guests and a full film crew, which saw Kim wear three different custom Vera Wang dresses. Their marriage, rather famously, lasted 72 days, but they remained legally wed until 2013.<\/p>\n In the latest episode of The Kardashians<\/em>, Kim revealed that Humphries only \u2018contributed a fifth\u2019 towards her engagement ring. Something that stung even more when he allegedly insisted on getting it back during their divorce proceedings. \u2018I didn\u2019t keep [the ring],\u2019 she told her hair stylist Chris Appleton. \u2018I was pregnant with North, still married to him and in order to divorce him, he said I had to give him the ring in my divorce.\u2019<\/p>\n The ring was designed by Lorraine Schwartz, who the Kardashians have remained good friends with over the years. In fact, Kim and Khloe were on their way to Mumbai for the July 2024 wedding of Anant Ambani and Radhika Merchant with Schwartz in the episode, and the designer told her it was for the \u2018best\u2019 that she got rid of the ring.<\/p>\n As Kim said herself, by the time their divorce was being finalised she had already moved on with Kanye West and was pregnant with their first child. Their marriage had slightly more longevity and lasted between 2014 and 2021, and they share four children together\u00a0\u2013 North, Saint, Chicago and Psalm. While there\u2019s no doubt the birth of Kimye overshadowed Kardashian\u2019s iconic 72-day marriage, it remains a fond memory for long-term fans whenever it pops up.<\/p>\n In 2021, Kim admitted that she felt \u2018pressured\u2019 to go through with her 2011 wedding because it was being filmed for Keeping Up With The Kardashians<\/em>. \u2018I thought, \u201cOkay, we\u2019re filming this for a TV show. If I leave, I\u2019m going to be known as the runaway bride forever and it\u2019s going to be a huge joke, and I think I just have cold feet,\u201d\u2019 she said. \u2018So I was like, \u201cOkay guys, it\u2019s just cold feet, I got this, it\u2019s cold feet, we\u2019re filming the show.\u201d\u2019<\/p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text module_class=”custom-quote” _builder_version=”4.20.4″ _module_preset=”default” header_2_font=”Libre Bodoni|||on|||||” header_2_text_align=”center” header_2_text_color=”#333333″ header_2_font_size=”40px” header_2_line_height=”1.2em” global_colors_info=”{}”] As for the breakup itself, she has previously said she has regrets about the way it was handled. \u2018I 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\u2019t, I just didn\u2019t know how to deal. I learned so much from it,\u2019 she added. While the conversation was not aired, the lead up to it was. \u2018I honestly feel like I can\u2019t do this anymore with Kris,\u2019 she told her sister Kourtney and her then-partner Scott Disick. \u2018I feel like I got into this way too fast. I don\u2019t want to be married anymore.\u2019 She explained that she felt \u2018dead inside\u2019 and \u2018not herself\u2019 in the marriage.<\/p>\n Writing in The Players\u2019 Tribune<\/em> about their marriage in 2019, Humphries put, \u2018I met a girl who happened to be really famous, and I got married, and damn. Look, I should have known what I was getting into. I was definitely na\u00efve about how much my life was going to change. But the one thing that really bothers me is whenever people say that my marriage was fake.\u2019<\/p>\n \u2018Our actual relationship was 100% real,\u2019 he added. \u2018When it was clear that it wasn\u2019t working\u2026 what can I say? It sucked. It\u2019s never easy to go through the embarrassment of something like that \u2013 with your friends, with your family. But when it plays out so publicly, in front of the world, it\u2019s a whole other level. It was brutal.\u2019<\/p>\n Between them, the Kardashians have had their fair share of weddings and divorces. In another recent episode of the Disney+ show, Khloe reunited with her ex-husband Lamar Odom, who she was married to from 2009 to 2013, to return some of his belongings that she had been keeping since 2016. \u2018Should I call Kris Humphries?\u2019 Kim joked after hearing about the meet up. \u2018That\u2019s what I said,\u2019 Khloe replied. \u2018Get all the ex-husbands on here.\u2019<\/p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_divider color=”#111111″ divider_position=”center” divider_weight=”2px” module_class=”custom-divider” _builder_version=”4.20.4″ _module_preset=”default” custom_margin=”0px||0px||false|false” custom_padding=”0px||0px||false|false” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_divider][et_pb_text module_class=”credit-texts” _builder_version=”4.20.4″ _module_preset=”default” text_font=”|||on|||||” text_orientation=”center” global_colors_info=”{}”] Photo: <\/b>IMAGO<\/p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Kris had tight purse strings during the relationship…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":11,"featured_media":7840,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_et_pb_use_builder":"on","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","_lmt_disableupdate":"","_lmt_disable":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-7837","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-feature"],"acf":[],"modified_by":"guestgrazia","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/flatplanplus.io\/grazia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7837","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/flatplanplus.io\/grazia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/flatplanplus.io\/grazia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/flatplanplus.io\/grazia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/11"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/flatplanplus.io\/grazia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=7837"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/flatplanplus.io\/grazia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7837\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":7854,"href":"https:\/\/flatplanplus.io\/grazia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7837\/revisions\/7854"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/flatplanplus.io\/grazia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/7840"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/flatplanplus.io\/grazia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=7837"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/flatplanplus.io\/grazia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=7837"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/flatplanplus.io\/grazia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=7837"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}‘I had to give him the ring in my divorce’ – Kim kardashian<\/h2>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.20.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]
