Showing Kim what she’s missing! Kris Humphries steals the spotlight away from his estranged wife in smouldering shoot

By Iona Kirby


It has just been revealed that his estranged wife Kim Kardashian is dating Kanye West after the rapper professed his love for her in a song.

But Kris Humphries is showing the reality star what she has been missing since she filed for divorce after just 72 days of marriage in October.

The basketball player poses in a smouldering shoot for WESTEAST magazine.

The images have a military theme and see Kris navigating his way through an assault course and posing with a magazine of bullets slung over one shoulder.

Another photo sees him reclining on a sunlounger wearing just a leather jacket zipped halfway up his bare chest and a pair of briefs, as well as combat boots.

The NBA star’s face is decorated with skin camouflage and a rifle sits on the floor beside him.

His short marriage to Kim left him landing headlines for the wrong reasons, but Kris is likely to have gained a new legion of admirers this week, after making a dedicated fan who is suffering from cancer a guest of honour at one of his games.

He said: 'I'm truly honoured that someone with much larger things on their plate feels that my involvement in their cause is important.

'Not many of us can be as strong as she has been. I hope that many more will join me and support Team Kaely.'

'She told him how, where and when': Kim Kardashian 'planned Kris Humphries' marriage proposal'

By Eleanor Gower


He proposed in a blaze of romantic glory, spelling out the words 'will you marry me' in red rose petals, before producing a $2 million diamond ring.

But now it has emerged that Kris Humphries' televised proposal to Kim Kardashian was not all it seemed.

According to Radar Online, Kris has told his inner circle of trusted friends that Kim 'planned' exactly how he would pop the question.

Strict instructions: Kris Humphries is alleged to have told friends that estranged wife Kim Kardashian, pictured at a Golden Globes party last night, planned his marriage proposal to her

'Kim told Kris how, where and when to propose, it was absolutely no surprise to her whatsoever," a source close to the situation told the website.

Kris apparently had wanted to propose to Kim in his home state of Minnesota, but ended up popping the question in the bedroom of her Los Angeles mansion.

The proposal, which took place last May, was captured on reality show Keeping Up With The Kardashians, shown last September.

The insider added: 'First of all, Kris proposed in the middle of the day, and he had to do that because it would create better lighting to capture the moment.

Nerves: Kris's romantic proposal was shown on reality show Keeping Up with the Kardahsians, but now it is being alleged that it was all planned by Kim

'Kim looked so surprised but she knew it was happening. She was in full hair and make-up, as she always is on the show.

'Kris wanted it to be very intimate and romantic, but all of his ideas were shot down by production officials and Kim.

The source said: 'Kim told him the paparazzi would ruin the special moment if it were to take place in a public setting, like the beach, which he had also considered. How romantic could it be with three camera crews?'

The proposal showed Kris painstakingly spelling out 'Will You Marry Me' in Kim's room.

Surprise? After the rose petals spelled out his intentions, Kris got down on one knee to a 'surprised' Kim

And when Kim walked into her bedroom to find Kris down on one knee with his proposal spelled out in front of him in rose petals she told him 'You're crazy,' to which he replied: 'You're perfect.'

Kim was initially speechless, but when Kris opened the ring box to reveal an enormous $2million diamond she immediately blurted out 'Oh my God, yes.'

The reality star's mother Kris Jenner even helped plan the proposal, dubbing it 'operation pumpkin.'

Kim famously filed for divorce from Kris after just 72 days after their 'fairytale' California wedding which took place in August.

The latest allegation comes after reports surfaced that other elements in the hit reality show are staged.

Dazzling: After Kris revealed the $2million engagement ring Kim's immediate response was 'yes'

Kim and her mother Kris Jenner were seen having a chart about the breakdown of Kim's marriage in a recent episode of Kourtney & Kim Take New York which was set when the women were in Dubai.

But recent reports have alleged that the scene was actually shot in December and edited into the episode.

Photographs of the pair, taken on December 6, showed the pair leaving a TV studio, with Kim dressed in the exact same outfit, with the same hair style and earrings, as she is seen wearing in the scene supposedly shot in mid-October in Dubai.

Mother Kris was followed out of the studio by an assistant carrying the purple kaftan-style dress she is seen wearing in the back of the limo.

Radar has previously reported that Kim has full editorial control over what is aired on her reality shows.

'Kim was stunned by the amount of bad press and the public relations nightmare she has endured since deciding to file for divorce,' a source told Radar. 'Kim will be using the show to attempt to rehab her image.

'Kim has been telling her inner circle that she has worked very hard to get where she has, and she isn't going to let her marriage and subsequent decision to divorce Kris Humphries ruin that.'

Meanwhile, before last week's episode aired, Humphries sent out a cryptic tweet: 'I can’t wait for the truth to come out! People will be surprised or maybe they won’t. #FCC.'

'There's a big problem here': Kim's marriage is just not working out... as relationship with Kris crumbles in front of the cameras

By Chris Johnson


Sombre: Kim Kardashian in a pensive mood after conceding her marriage to Kris Humphries is not working out in a double episode of Kourtney & Kim Take New York which aired last night in the U.S.


Kim Kardashian's failing marriage to Kris Humphries was laid bare once again last night in a double episode of Kourtney & Kim Take New York.

The 31-year-old reality star concedes their relationship is fraught with problems in interviews to the cameras and admits to her mother she feels more herself when she is not with him.

Kim - who filed for divorce from the New Jersey Nets star after just 72 days of marriage - is also seen rowing with Kris after he jets off to Toronto with Scott Disick without telling her to party.

Sweet nothings: The basketball star was seen chatting with girls as he drank the night away

Kris misses repeated texts from Kim while downing shots and drinking, leaving his wife furious and culminating in a confrontation.

The 26-year-old sports star apologises, but it seems sorry is just not going to cut it with his reality star wife.

In the second episode aired on E! last night, Kim admits to her mother Kris Jenner that things are just not turning out how she expected.


Opening up: Kim talks to her mother and manager Kris Jenner about her marital problems


At least something is working out: The reality star seen in an earlier scene working up a sweat in the gym

Trim Kim: She was joined by her sister Kourtney and complained to her about the paparazzi in New York

'Married life just isn't what I thought it would be with him,' she confesses to her mother while on a promotional trip in Dubai.

'I keep thinking something is off,' she went on, asking her mother if this was a normal feeling to experience in the early days of marriage.

Jenner responds, saying it is not normal, recalling how she and Kim's father Rob Kardashian were 'obsessed with each other' for at least the first 10 years.


Party spirit: Kris outraged Kim after jetting off to Toronto to party with friends without telling her

Partner in crime: He was joined by Kourtney's boyfriend Scott Disick

'I didn't even want him to go to work,' Jenner recalled.

She explained: 'This is not normal... that you don't want to go home to your new husband.'

Earlier Kim admitted that she was enjoying being away from Kris during her Dubai trip, describing it as a 'huge relief'.


I'm sorry: He apologised to Kim later... but it seems his efforts failed to keep her satisfied for long

Solo appearance: In the second episode Kim headed to Dubai for a promotional trip without her husband


'I'm really enjoying this feeling,' she mused.

Elsewhere in the episode, Kim spent time with her nephew Mason during a visit to Conneticuit with sister Kourtney.

And the sisters also worked up a sweat at the gym in New York where Kim complained about the paparazzi in the Big Apple.

Baby blues: The moment newlyweds Kim Kardashian and Kris Humphries decide to try for a child...just weeks before split

By Sarah Fitzmaurice


Baby talk: The latest episode of Kourtney and Kim Take New York showed Kim Kardashian and Kris Humphries talking about having a child


They enjoyed a whirlwind romance getting married less than a year after they first met.

And just weeks after they became man and wife, Kim Kardashian and Kris Humphries agreed to try for a baby, just weeks before they split.

In tonight’s episode of Kourtney and Kim Take New York the newlyweds were seen discussing their plans to expand their family, but it soon became clear they were on very different pages.


During on conversation the couple decided to start a family and initially both Kim and Kris were excited by the prospect.

Kim explained: ‘I feel like your life really stars when you start have kids.’

She was seen asking her basketball husband how he felt about starting a family and while he initially described the conversation as ‘weird’, he soon came around to the idea.


Serious stuff: Kris appears to be apprehensive about the discussion and at first doesn't appear to be on side


We're having a baby: The couple, who have now separated, were seen agreeing to start trying for a child


He told Kim: ‘Alright, let’s do it. I’m excited, I really want to.’

But just minutes later the couple were faced with the realisation that their ideas of how to raise a child differed greatly.

After speaking to her mother Kris Jenner, who told Kim she wasn’t ‘prepared’ to have children, the reality star confronted her husband about where he would want to live.


I'm going to be a dad: Kris was seen heading out to dinner with friends and he couldn't wait to share the news he and Kim had decided to have a child

Reservations: While Kim was excited about the news she was going to come off birth control when she told her mother Kris Jenner, the Kardashian matriach said she wasn't ready


She asked him: ‘Where do you think that we are going to raise kids.’

While Kris admitted he wanted to bring his offspring off in his hometown in Minnesota it was clear Kim was not on board.


Feeling broody? Kim was seen playing with her nephew Mason and talking about how much she wants children

Different pages: Kris and Kim are seen having another chat which leads to an argument when they realise they have different expectations of how to raise a child


She told him: ‘I want my kids to grow up with my sisters kids, they could spend a month in the summer in Minnesota.’

She then told him bluntly: ‘I’m not moving to Minnesota.’


Location problems: Kris told Kim he wanted to raise a child in Minnesota while his wife explained that she would never move there


As the pair’s discussion began heating up it became clear that Kim had not factored in that she might have to reduce her work commitments should she fall pregnant.

Kris told her: ‘I think you need to cut out some of that stuff,’ he added ‘I am not having a nanny spend the majority of the time with our child.’

Speaking to the camera Kim told viewers: ‘ I can’t believe Kris would be expecting me to slow down.’


Frank advice: Kim is seen asking advice from her friend LaLa who is married and has a child with a basketball player, but her friend tells her to wait before having children

Uncle Kris? While Kim goes off the idea Kris is seen talking to Scott about Mason and becomes convinced that he and Kim should start a family


The camera cut back to their conversation and Kris told her: ‘Baby by the time you had kids and they are in school no one will really care about you.’

As the couple took time to cool off and discuss the idea of parenthood with their family and friends Kim and Kris came to very different conclusions.

Kim is seen heading for dinner with a friend named La La who discouraged her about starting a family so soon.


Bubble talk: Kris is seen talking to Kim in the bath and telling her how much he wanted to start a family with her

Keeping quiet: While Kris tells her he wants children now Kim doesn't reveal that she has changed her mind about children


She told Kim: ‘I think it’s too fast. I thought you would enjoy being married first.’

LaLa, who is also married to a basketball player and who has a child, also described how hard it was juggling two careers, travel and a baby.

Kim left the lunch convinced she needed to wait before starting a family but Kris had other ideas after speaking to Scott Disick.


Sneaky: Kim was seen taking her birth control pill but didn't tell Kris she had changed her mind


The sports star was seen sitting down with Scott as he was feeding Mason and Scott told him: ‘I never thought I would love fatherhood as much as I do.’

Kris told the camera that he felt ready to have children and said: ‘I am confident that Kim and I can handle it.’

But the more Kris became excited about the prospect of becoming a father the more Kim was against the idea.

The show was filmed when Kris and Kim were still together, but just 72 days after their nuptials, Kim filed for divorce.

Kris is now seeking an annulment and last week he gave an awkward interview on Good Morning America, where he deflected questions about his estranged wife.

Kris Humphries 'livid' over Kim Kardashian grilling on Good Morning America in first post-split interview

By Chris Johnson


Ambushed: Kris Humphires took part in his first interview on GMA today since his split from wife Kim Kardashian


Kris Humphries made for very awkward viewing today as he fumbled his way through his first television interview since his split from Kim Kardashian.

The 26-year-old NBA free agent feebly attempted to deflect questions about his personal life on Good Morning America today.

He was grilled by host Josh Elliot, who would not let up as Humphries tried to turn the conversation around to sport and charity awareness.


Sources close to the star say he is 'livid' in wake of the sit down chat - and was not expecting it to be so heavily laden with questions about his estranged wife - who split from him after just 72 days of marriage.

Kris was accompanied by his mother Debra, who held his hands at times during the chat.

He repeatedly avoided questions about his divorce from the 31-year-old reality star - only saying he was trying to 'move forward' with his life when asked if he was still in love with her.

'I'm not focused on that, right now I'm focused on basketball,' he said when asked about his proposed annulment from his short-lived marriage.

Not giving up: Kris was apparently not expecting the interview to be so focused around his failed marriage, seen here taking part in a cooking segment with his mother Debra


He also revealed that he is not watching himself on the Kardashian reality show, Kourtney & Kim Take New York.

When asked by the host if it was tough for him to watch himself on the reality show - considering he already knew the ending - he said: 'The only things I watch of myself on TV are me playing basketball.

'I have never really been someone to watch the show, on TV, or anything like that.'

His mother added: 'The important thing is that we stay close as a family - it's our faith in God that carries us through all of these times.

'We have so much to be thankful for right now. We're looking forward not backward.'

TMZ reports Kris only agreed to take part in the show to plug his 'foundation' and his mother's 'cookie bake'.

But GMA sources tell the website that no ground rules were set on the line of questioning.

Kris says that he is fighting childhood obesity with his foundation: 'Life is more about giving back,' he said.

When asked if he thought his public image had taken a hit he replied: 'If people know me and they know who I am and what I stand for I think that they'll know that I love to give back, and I, you know, I'm a fun guy.

'You know I don't really play into all the gossip and things that take place, but you know, that's life.'

Was Kim Kardashian's marriage a fraud? Kris Humphries to fight for an annulment - not divorce

By Daily Mail Reporter


Unhappy ending: Kris Humphries, pictured here with Kim Kardashian in May, is seeking to have their 72-day marriage annulled

NBA star Kris Humphries is seeking to erase his marriage to Kim Kardashian from the record.

The 26-year-old wants to annul his 72-day marriage to reality star Kim Kardashian, 31 , on the grounds of fraud, and filed the papers today.

According to People, his Superior Court filing has the box reading 'nullity of voidable marriage' marked and checks as the basis the box saying 'fraud.'

According to California law, a nullity is granted if the court finds that no valid marriage ever took place.

Along with fraud, grounds for an annulment include bigamy, incest, force or if the couple are under the age of consent.

Humphries's papers say that if he's not granted an annulment then he wants a legal separation and not a divorce under any circumstances.

The basketball star agrees on the date of separation, however, which he also lists as October 31.

Annulments can be difficult to obtain, with a legal expert telling the publication that he will likely have to prove that fraud was actually committed.

But Kim is telling her friends that she absolutely loved Kris and the marriage just fell apart, according to TMZ, so she's unlikely to be agree with this assessment.

LA family lawyer Scott Weston, who is not dealing with the celebrity couple, said Kardashian will probably fight the matter 'unless she's willing to agree that she defrauded him.'

It could mean the pair will end up in a bitter court battle.

Reality TV romance: The pair married in a ceremony which was filmed for the E! network


'[Kris] is sensitive to marriage both emotionally and religiously,' a source told the magazine, adding that the move is 'symbolic' rather than financially motivated.

'He went into it in good faith and never expected things to turn out this way,' says the source.

Kardashian filed for divorce from Humphries on October 31, citing irreconcilable differences.

The pair's troubles seemed to start immediately after their wedding and were on display in the season premiere of Kourtney & Kim Take New York.

Kim had made no secret of her wedding dreams long before she'd even met Kris, but now feels that she has to be more realistic when it comes to men.

Kiss of death: The unravelling of the couple's 'fairytale' relationship is playing out on new reality show, Kourtney & Kim Take New York


In an interview with US Glamour magazine, Kardashian said: 'I'll always be a hopeless romantic. It means that I believe and love and the dream of having a perfect relationship, but my idea of it has changed.

'I think I need to not live in a fairytale like that. I think I maybe need to just snap out of it and be a little more realistic. What I want isn't possible.'

While her sister Kourtney has just announced she is pregnant with her second child, the 31-year-old fears she may never become a mother.

She said: 'I always wanted what my parents had. And at first I was like, I want six kids. Then I went down to four, then I was down to three, and now I'm just like, maybe I won't have any. Maybe I'll just be a good aunt.

'At this moment in my life, I feel like maybe I'm not supposed to have kids and all that. That's how I feel. Maybe my fairytale has a different ending than I dreamed it would, but that's OK.'
