Kim Kardashian offered a surprising revelation about how much her ex husband Kris Humphries paid for her engagement ring — and it allegedly was less than half.
During the Thursday, March 13, episode of The Kardashians, Kim, 44, reflected on each ring she received from her three respective marriages.
“Khloé [Kardashian], should I just start wearing my diamonds again? I wonder what my next ring shape will be — of my last and final hoorah,” Kim quipped. “The first one [from Damon Thomas] was a cushion cut that was 14 carats.”
Kim married Thomas, now 54, when she was 19 and they divorced before her debut on Keeping Up With the Kardashians in 2007. The duo, who had a 10-year age difference, were married for three years until they called it quits in 2003.
A star-studded love life. Kim Kardashian‘s personal life has been in the spotlight for decades, no matter who she’s dated or married. Since 2000, Kardashian has been married three times. At only 19, she married producer Damon Thomas, who was 10 years older than her. The marriage lasted three years until she called it quits […]
“The second I had to give Kris [Humphries] and it was 18 carats,” she continued on Thursday. “I didn’t keep it. I was pregnant with North, still married to him and in order to divorce him, he said I had to give him the ring in the divorce. The ring that I bought. He contributed a fifth [of the cost].”
Kim got engaged to Humphries, now 40, in 2011 following a whirlwind romance. Kim and Humphries tied the knot in 2011 but split after 72 days of marriage. Their divorce was finalized in April 2013 following a lengthy court battle.
“That whole situation was just really hard for me,” Kim said of her relationship with Humphries during an appearance on Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen in 2017. “At the time I just thought, ‘Holy s—, I’m 30 years old, I better get this together. I better get married.’ I think a lot of girls do go through that, where they freak out thinking they’re getting old and all their friends are having kids. So, it was more of that situation. But I knew on the honeymoon it wasn’t going to work out.”
Kim moved on with Kanye West and the pair welcomed daughter North before getting married in 2014. They later expanded their family with son Saint in 2015, daughter Chicago in 2018 and son Psalm in 2019. In February 2021, Kim filed for divorce after nearly seven years of marriage. Their divorce was finalized in November 2022.
“But my first one that I got engaged with [during my third marriage], that was the only piece of jewelry I owned that I didn’t take to Paris,” Kim explained in reference to her 2016 robbery. “[At one point I] wore both [of my engagement rings] and Kanye told me, ‘Don’t you ever wear both of your rings at the same time. Are you looking to get robbed?’”
Kim noted that her plan was to give North her engagement ring from West, 47. Kim previously opened up about how she wasn’t ruling out another marriage. (The reality star was linked to Pete Davidson and Odell Beckham Jr. after her third divorce.)
“I think I am definitely going to be really cautious because I maybe have proven that I am not the best at [marriage]. And I don’t want to make that mistake again,” Kim said during the June 2022 episode of Today With Hoda & Jenna. “Sometimes I think, ‘Should I just be in one of those relationships like Goldie Hawn and Kurt Russell [who are together but not married]?’ It seems to be working out for them.”
New episodes of The Kardashians air on Hulu every Thursday.
