Kim Kardashian Divorce: Marriage Was 'Real' For Kris Humphries

Kris Humphries

Kris Humphries is responding to speculation that his 72-day marriage to Kim Kardashian was a sham.

During an "Access Hollywood" interview, set to air Tuesday night, host Jill Martin asks the 26-year-old NBA player if his short-lived marriage to the reality star was "real."

"To me it was real," Humphries said. "I would never go through something or do something that wasn't real or I didn't believe in, so I can really only speak for myself in terms of that."

Humphries also revealed that he's not dating anyone at the moment; rather, he's focused on playing basketball: "My girlfriend is Spalding," he joked.

Kardashian has repeatedly denied that she married for publicity, most recently while co-hosting "LIVE! With Kelly" late last month.

"Being a hopeless romantic, I wanted to believe in something so badly," she said. "If you really think about it, if this was a business decision and I really made all that money that everyone was claiming that we made off this wedding, and if the wedding was fake and just for TV -- I'm a smart business woman -- I would have stayed married longer."

The reality star filed for divorce from Humphries in October 2011, just 72 days after their estimated $10 million dollar nuptials. Though it was initially reported that Humphries planned to sign the divorce docs, he instead filed for an annulment on the basis of fraud.

That comment by Kim made no sense at all. Why would she have stayed married longer if the money was made on the televised ceremony. Come on girl. You seem to be floating further away from reality.

I feel like they *only* showed the worst possible side of him on the show. That's "reality" tv for ya.

this is probably the realest i've ever seen him act. I think he was fake on the show !
09:22 PM on 02/08/2012
i'm sorry, but fake or not I think kris humpy is sooooo lame! He wanted publicity himself, because nobody knew him before he married kim, and now it probably didnt go as plan so he's trying to play the pity party act. pleasssssssseeeeeeeee! I watched the show and kris was the most fake, rude and most phony person on the show. his lawyer is probably pushing it so he could get more money or something. I don't feel sorry for him at all.

'My girlfriend is Spalding,' he joked.

Geez -- Kim must have really done a number on the poor guy's ego.

What do Spalding basketballs have to do with Smails kid? What is the Smails kid?

I think he seems like a nice guy. A little goofy, but I'm sure the Kardashians portrayed him in the worst light possible. It's easy to say he should have known better, but some people are excellent at lying and manipulating to get what they want, then once they've got it they do a total 180.

Dude you got screwed by a pro. I do not think Kim even knows what planet she is on. Her mother calls the shots and its all about ratings. Find yourself a nice girl and settle down if thats what your looking for. I would want the marriage annuled too! Also get checked cause morepeople have gone down on Kim than the Titanic.
