Kim Kardashian, the renowned beauty mogul and reality television star, is finally addressing the details surrounding her high-profile engagement to former NBA player Kris Humphries. During a recent episode of her family’s show, *The Kardashians*, Kim opened up about the financial intricacies of her £1.5 million engagement ring, revealing that despite paying for the majority of it, she was required to return it as part of their divorce settlement.
The couple tied the knot in 2011 in an extravagant wedding that was prominently featured on *Keeping Up with the Kardashians*. However, their marriage lasted only 72 days, sparking widespread speculation about whether their relationship was genuine or merely a publicity stunt. Years later, Kim is shedding light on the circumstances that led to their breakup.
In a candid conversation with her sister Khloé Kardashian on the Hulu series, Kim discussed the financial arrangement behind her 18-carat emerald-cut diamond engagement ring. She disclosed that Kris Humphries had only contributed about one-fifth of the ring’s total cost, with Kim covering the remaining amount. Despite her significant financial investment, Kris insisted on reclaiming the ring as part of their divorce agreement.
“In order to get divorced, he said I had to give him the ring,” Kim revealed.
Following the divorce settlement, Kris Humphries sold the ring at auction, where it fetched an impressive $749,000. This revelation has reignited public interest in the couple’s short-lived marriage and the financial dynamics that surrounded their relationship.
Kim’s openness about the situation provides a rare glimpse into the complexities of her past, offering fans a deeper understanding of the challenges she faced during that period.
