Kim Kardashian said she was forced to return the engagement ring she wore during her second marriage even though she bought it for herself.
The 44-year-old celebrity was famously married to former NBA player Kris Humphries for just 72 days before divorcing. She discussed the status of the ring on the newest episode of “The Kardashians,” which was released today.
“I wonder what my next ring shape will be — on my last and final hoorah,” Kim said to her sister, Khloé, as she proceeded to reflect on her failed marriages.
“Number one was a cushion cut, 14-karat,” she said of the ring she wore during her four-year marriage to record producer Damon Thomas, per People. The pair wed in 2000 after eloping when Kim was 19. They divorced in 2004.
Humphries proposed with an 18-karat emerald cut ring from Lorraine Schwartz, Kim said, adding, “I didn’t keep that. I was pregnant with [daughter] North [West], still married to him and in order to divorce him, he said I had to give him the ring in my divorce.”
Kim explained that Humphries demanded to have the ring despite the fact that she paid for the majority of it. “He contributed a fifth,” she said.
“Jesus,” her hairstylist and friend Chris Appleton said, calling the move “savage.” Appleton said she was better off getting rid of it. Humphries and Kardashian married in 2011 and broke up the same year, but did not finalize their divorce until 2013.
The episode documented the Kardashians attending the Ambani wedding in Mumbai in July 2024. During the same episode, Kim said she had expected a trip downtown to resemble the 1992 animated Disney film “Aladdin.”
“I thought it was going to be, like, the marketplace,” Kim said. Appleton asked if it was a market, prompting Kim to reply, “No, this is like the streets.”
“We thought we were going to more of a marketplace, like a spice market,” she added, mentioning how she expected the experience to look like a scene from “Aladdin.”
“What you see Aladdin going to and stealing the bread from,” she said, referencing the fictional city of Agrabah. “That’s where I thought we were going.”
Despite her disappointment, Kim and her sister Khloé did manage to find souvenirs for their kids.
