Kim Kardashian Got Married To Kris Humphries Because She Didn’t Want To Look Like A “Runaway Bride”
Have you known that KUWTK star almost didn’t attend her own wedding to ex-husband Kris Humphries?
She was talking about having “cold feet” on her wedding day with her mum and sisters during a sit-down interview with Andy Cohen.
“It was the night before; it was the rehearsal,” Kris Jenner recalled. “And I just went upstairs, and I said… ‘Listen, if you really don’t wanna do this, I don’t think you should do it. I think this could be a really bad idea. If you wanna get out of it…”
“No, what you said to me was, ‘Go.'” Kim interrupted. “You said, ‘I’m gonna put you in a car. No one will find you. Just leave, and I’ll handle it.'”
Kim said that she felt „pressured” on the day of her wedding because she had already spent the contract fee for her nuptials TV special and she didn’t want to “let everyone down.”
“I thought, we’re filming this for a TV show,” she said. Plus, Kim also felt that if she left then, she was “gonna be known as the runaway bride forever, and it’s gonna be a huge joke.”
After seeing how their marriage finished, Kim wished she would have listened to her mom instead.
Kim Kardashian had been married to former basketball player Kris Humphries for just 72 days before she filed for divorce from the athlete.
“We get to Italy for our honeymoon, and I was like, ‘Fuck, I think I made the wrong decision,'” she recalled. “And then I went to New York, and I was miserable. And I thought, you know what? If you have cold feet — for anyone out there listening, if you have cold feet, it’s not it.”
After the divorce, Kim said she felt like she “absolutely” owed him an apology so she tried “calling him for months”.
They didn’t meet again until they crossed paths at a LA hotel. At the time, Kim was with Kanye West, and she was pregnant with their second child, Saint.
Kim said that all of Kris’s friends got up from the table to say “hi” , except for her ex-husband.
But even though their marriage wasn’t that good, it taught Kim what true love meant, and then she could find it with Kanye.
“Six months after my divorce from Kris Humphries, I called Kanye and was like, ‘You’re not even gonna call me to say, ‘I told you so?'” she said. “We met up six months later, and from that first night, I knew it was over.”
“My marriage with Kanye and my kids is so real, and lots of love, and that to me was, like, my first real marriage,” Kim continued.
After everything is said and done, Kim says she does not even want to explain who Kris Humphries is to her kids, and it’s completely understandable.
