Kim Kardashian’s whirlwind marriage to NBA star Kris Humphries wasn’t just short—it was sensationally scandalous.

Lasting a mere 72 days, their union became fodder for gossip mills everywhere, and it turns out, there was more than just wedding bells causing the drama.

Kris was convinced there was more to his and Kim’s fairy-tale marriage than met the eye.

Rumors swirled that while Kim was saying “I do” to the basketball player, she might have been cozying up with none other than rapper Kanye West, who she later went on to marry.

Kris had his suspicions and even suggested that their grand wedding was less about love and more about riding the publicity wave, which many fans agree with, given how high-profile and short their nuptials were.

Kris Told His Ex That Kim Was A Cheater

According to TMZ, Kris spilled his doubts to his ex-girlfriend Myla Sinanaj, revealing he suspected Kim of cheating with Kanye. The kicker? Kanye, who was supposedly a “close friend” of the Kardashian clan at the time, wasn’t even at their over-the-top wedding.

“If he was such a close family friend, why wasn’t he invited to the wedding?” Humphries reportedly grilled Myla in a chat.

The plot thickened when Kanye West’s explosive diss track “Theraflu” dropped, sending shockwaves through the celebrity gossip world. The lyrics, “And I admit I fell in love with Kim. Around the same time she fell in love with him. Well, that’s cool baby girl, do your thing,” seemed to throw a big, glittery spotlight on the alleged affair. And yes, Humphries was reportedly fuming.

Kim Has Also Hinted She Cheated On Kris

But wait, there’s more! Kim Kardashian herself added fuel to the fire during a 2018 interview. Reflecting on her time with Humphries, she recounted an awkward moment when she had to hide her massive diamond ring from Kanye.

Speaking to Big Boy’s Neighborhood, Kim revealed, “I had my big ring on cause I was married. So I am talking with my ring and I talk with my hands a lot so I am talking, and I just see him looking at my ring and his face would just get heartbroken.” It seems like even a blinged-out ring couldn’t hide the cracks in her marriage.

Despite all the drama, Kim has maintained that her romance with Kanye didn’t ignite until after her marriage to Kris had officially fizzled. Yet, the timing and the public spectacle of it all keep this scandal sizzling in the celebrity gossip archives.

After Kris, Kim’s relationship with Kanye became one of the most high-profile in celebrity history. They wed in a lavish ceremony in 2014 and welcomed four children: North, Saint, Chicago, and Psalm (Kim was already pregnant with North before her divorce from Kris was finalized).

However, their marriage faced its own set of challenges, leading Kim to file for divorce in 2021, proving that even a relationship as public and celebrated as theirs wasn’t built to last forever.
