Kim Kardashian Divorce: Kris Humphries Wants Engagement Ring Back

Kris Humphries wants his engagement bling back.

According to Radar Online, the 27-year-old basketball player wants Kim Kardashian to return the engagement ring he gave her -- a 20-karat diamond which reportedly cost 2 million dollars.

"Kris wants the ring back because the marriage only lasted 72 days and he believes it was based on fraud and deceit," an unnamed source reportedly told the website. "Remember, Kim filed for divorce. Kris paid for that ring, and he just can't fathom why Kim would want to keep it. It's not like she is ever going to wear it again. Kris realizes that with Kim it's all about material objects and she truly treasures things over people in her life."

According to the site's sources, Kardashian's lawyer, Laura Wasser, was referring to the ring when she mentioned a dispute over jewelry during a brief hearing last Friday. At the hearing, Humphries's legal team said they needed more time to gather information to determine whether they would pursue allegations that the couple's short-lived marriage was a fraud, the Associated Press reported. Both sides are set to return to court on Aug. 15 for a status hearing.

Kardashian filed for divorce from Humphries in October 2011, just 72 days after their estimated $10 million dollar wedding.

But from a legal perspective, is Humphries entitled to the engagement ring? In November 2011, celebrity divorce lawyer Raoul Felder told the Huffington Post that it depends on the circumstances with which it was given.

"An engagement ring is a gift of contemplation, a contemplation of marriage. If the marriage takes place it a completed gift," he said. "If it doesn't take place, the prospective husband has an argument to get the ring back. But this marriage took place. I think there is also a question of who bought the ring?... For all we know, maybe this whole thing was for show."

I looked and it said it was removed. What can I say?

I posted a comment that was removed. I don't know why, all I said was that I thought I had seen the ring somewhere before. Then I remembered seeing one that looked very much like it on one of the home shopping shows. So what is wrong with this comment? Why should it have ben removed?

She should definately give it back and any gifts that were given to them ie the Ferarri should be sold and all funds should go to the businesses that gave them their free wedding...we all know they didnt pay for it OR the money should be given to the homeless or people (no one they know of course) that are really struggling whether it be to pay their mortgage or feed their families. Sorry to say but Kim Trashdashian is the biggest money grabbing cow I have ever heard of!!!

Let's hope that soon - after the divorce that people stop watching her show and the rest of the money grabbing family and they end up having to actually WORK for a living instead of thinking that the rest of the world wants to pay money to see them etc

What the hell does a $10 million dollar wedding look like? As to the ring, he will have to fight her in court, and he will rack up that much in lawyers fees. Sorry, dude, you married her.....live and learn.

Shocker: Kim Kardashian is completely lacking class!! Even if technically she isn't required to return the engagement ring, a lady would do such. What am I saying??? This is a woman who got her start by starring in a sex tape, which her mom helped her parlay into a "career"? Apple doesn't fall far from the tree.....

He married Kim Kardashian for crying out loud! He should be fined 2 million just for that mistake.

If the poor guy can't get the ring back, then maybe he should be content with the return of his common sense and pride. On the other hand, if she keeps the ring under these circumstances, then it is strong evidence that she is a money-grubbing grifter! But I 'm not one to judge. ;-)

Why the eff would anyone not return the engagement/wedding ring after a divorce? That's just greedy.

I could maybe see arguing over it if they'd been married for awhile, but not wanting to give it back after 72 days of marriage? Yeah, she's just being a jerk.
