Kris Humphries blindsided by Kim Kardashian divorce filing

Reason No. 1,000,101 the NBA lockout needs to end…so we can find new NBA-related topics to chat about. But in the meantime, we couldn’t avoid a post about this topic.

Yahoo! Sports is reporting that New Jersey Nets free agent Kris Humphries was completely blindsided by Kim Kardashian’s divorce filing Monday, (on Halloween of all days).

Kris Humphries sounded every bit the the devastated husband in a statement he released claiming reconciliation was his goal with his E! channel reality star wife of 72 days.

“I love my wife and am devastated to learn she filed for divorce,” he said. ““I’m committed to this marriage and everything this covenant represents,” he said, “and I’m willing to do whatever it takes to make it work.”

But Kim Kardashian doesn’t seem to share his desire to make the marriage work according to the statement she released earlier.

“I hope everyone understands this was not an easy decision. I had hoped this marriage was forever but sometimes things don’t work out as planned.”

Shocking.

So does that mean Kris Humphries gets to retrieve that 20 karat wedding ring? Just wondering…
