It has just been revealed that his estranged wife Kim Kardashian is dating Kanye West after the rapper professed his love for her in a song.

But Kris Humphries is showing the reality star what she has been missing since she filed for divorce after just 72 days of marriage in October.

The basketball player poses in a smouldering shoot for WESTEAST magazine.

The images have a military theme and see Kris navigating his way through an assault course and posing with a magazine of bullets slung over one shoulder.

Another photo sees him reclining on a sunlounger wearing just a leather jacket zipped halfway up his bare chest and a pair of briefs, as well as combat boots.

The NBA star’s face is decorated with skin camouflage and a rifle sits on the floor beside him.

The series of images see the hunk pout and pose for the camera, but his time behind-the-scenes was much more light-hearted.

Backstage shots show the New Jersey Nets player larking around with the stylist as they waited patiently for shots to be set up.

His short marriage to Kim left him landing headlines for the wrong reasons, but Kris is likely to have gained a new legion of admirers this week, after making a dedicated fan who is suffering from cancer a guest of honour at one of his games.

And the power forward said the delight was all his when he learned 16-year-old Kaely Kwitek is a massive fan of his and wanted to meet him due to a campaign by her friends.

He said: 'I'm truly honoured that someone with much larger things on their plate feels that my involvement in their cause is important.

'Not many of us can be as strong as she has been. I hope that many more will join me and support Team Kaely.'

He proposed in a blaze of romantic glory, spelling out the words 'will you marry me' in red rose petals, before producing a $2 million diamond ring.

But now it has emerged that Kris Humphries' televised proposal to Kim Kardashian was not all it seemed.

According to Radar Online, Kris has told his inner circle of trusted friends that Kim 'planned' exactly how he would pop the question.

Strict instructions: Kris Humphries is alleged to have told friends that estranged wife Kim Kardashian, pictured at a Golden Globes party last night, planned his marriage proposal to her

'Kim told Kris how, where and when to propose, it was absolutely no surprise to her whatsoever," a source close to the situation told the website.

Kris apparently had wanted to propose to Kim in his home state of Minnesota, but ended up popping the question in the bedroom of her Los Angeles mansion.

The proposal, which took place last May, was captured on reality show Keeping Up With The Kardashians, shown last September.

The insider added: 'First of all, Kris proposed in the middle of the day, and he had to do that because it would create better lighting to capture the moment.

Nerves: Kris's romantic proposal was shown on reality show Keeping Up with the Kardahsians, but now it is being alleged that it was all planned by Kim

'Kim looked so surprised but she knew it was happening. She was in full hair and make-up, as she always is on the show.

'Kris wanted it to be very intimate and romantic, but all of his ideas were shot down by production officials and Kim.

The source said: 'Kim told him the paparazzi would ruin the special moment if it were to take place in a public setting, like the beach, which he had also considered. How romantic could it be with three camera crews?'

The proposal showed Kris painstakingly spelling out 'Will You Marry Me' in Kim's room.

Surprise? After the rose petals spelled out his intentions, Kris got down on one knee to a 'surprised' Kim

And when Kim walked into her bedroom to find Kris down on one knee with his proposal spelled out in front of him in rose petals she told him 'You're crazy,' to which he replied: 'You're perfect.'

Kim was initially speechless, but when Kris opened the ring box to reveal an enormous $2million diamond she immediately blurted out 'Oh my God, yes.'

The reality star's mother Kris Jenner even helped plan the proposal, dubbing it 'operation pumpkin.'

Kim famously filed for divorce from Kris after just 72 days after their 'fairytale' California wedding which took place in August.

The latest allegation comes after reports surfaced that other elements in the hit reality show are staged.

Dazzling: After Kris revealed the $2million engagement ring Kim's immediate response was 'yes'

Kim and her mother Kris Jenner were seen having a chart about the breakdown of Kim's marriage in a recent episode of Kourtney & Kim Take New York which was set when the women were in Dubai.

But recent reports have alleged that the scene was actually shot in December and edited into the episode.

Photographs of the pair, taken on December 6, showed the pair leaving a TV studio, with Kim dressed in the exact same outfit, with the same hair style and earrings, as she is seen wearing in the scene supposedly shot in mid-October in Dubai.

Mother Kris was followed out of the studio by an assistant carrying the purple kaftan-style dress she is seen wearing in the back of the limo.

Radar has previously reported that Kim has full editorial control over what is aired on her reality shows.

'Kim was stunned by the amount of bad press and the public relations nightmare she has endured since deciding to file for divorce,' a source told Radar. 'Kim will be using the show to attempt to rehab her image.

'Kim has been telling her inner circle that she has worked very hard to get where she has, and she isn't going to let her marriage and subsequent decision to divorce Kris Humphries ruin that.'

Meanwhile, before last week's episode aired, Humphries sent out a cryptic tweet: 'I can’t wait for the truth to come out! People will be surprised or maybe they won’t. #FCC.'

Sombre: Kim Kardashian in a pensive mood after conceding her marriage to Kris Humphries is not working out in a double episode of Kourtney & Kim Take New York which aired last night in the U.S.


Kim Kardashian's failing marriage to Kris Humphries was laid bare once again last night in a double episode of Kourtney & Kim Take New York.

The 31-year-old reality star concedes their relationship is fraught with problems in interviews to the cameras and admits to her mother she feels more herself when she is not with him.

Kim - who filed for divorce from the New Jersey Nets star after just 72 days of marriage - is also seen rowing with Kris after he jets off to Toronto with Scott Disick without telling her to party.

Kris misses repeated texts from Kim while downing shots and drinking, leaving his wife furious and culminating in a confrontation.

The 26-year-old sports star apologises, but it seems sorry is just not going to cut it with his reality star wife.

In the second episode aired on E! last night, Kim admits to her mother Kris Jenner that things are just not turning out how she expected.

'Married life just isn't what I thought it would be with him,' she confesses to her mother while on a promotional trip in Dubai.

'I keep thinking something is off,' she went on, asking her mother if this was a normal feeling to experience in the early days of marriage.

Jenner responds, saying it is not normal, recalling how she and Kim's father Rob Kardashian were 'obsessed with each other' for at least the first 10 years.

'I didn't even want him to go to work,' Jenner recalled.

She explained: 'This is not normal... that you don't want to go home to your new husband.'

Earlier Kim admitted that she was enjoying being away from Kris during her Dubai trip, describing it as a 'huge relief'.

'I'm really enjoying this feeling,' she mused.

Elsewhere in the episode, Kim spent time with her nephew Mason during a visit to Conneticuit with sister Kourtney.

And the sisters also worked up a sweat at the gym in New York where Kim complained about the paparazzi in the Big Apple.

No bling: Kim Kardashian was seen at LAX airport earlier today without her wedding ring or her engagement ring after announcing she was filing for divorce from Kris Humphries


She only announced she was filing for divorce earlier yesterday but Kim Kardashian has already stepped out without her engagement and wedding rings.

The 31-year-old reality TV star was seen arriving at LAX airport heading for a trip to Australia.

Kim looked tired and was dressed down for the flight in a simple white T-shirt, black jeans and a leather jacket.

While Kris is reportedly 'devastated' by the not-so-shock announcement, after rumours have dogged their marriage for weeks, Kim's camp are said to be claiming her estranged husband was chasing fame.

According to TMZ, when divorce was mentioned Kris 'went into full Hollywood gear, talking about branding the Kris Humphries name with cologne, nightclub appearances'.

Kim was also said to have gone off Kris after he 'hired a Hollywood publicist' according to the gossip website.

Kris' motives were questioned by Khloe Kardashian before their wedding, which viewers say in the reality show about their wedding which saw the pair come to blows.

Meanwhile reports are emerging that their whole marriage, which is said to have netted the former couple $18million, is a hoax, according to Radaronline.com.

A source told the website: 'It was pretty much an arranged marriage right from the start.'

'Kim was looking for a husband and Kris was selected for her, amongst others. She wasn’t really into him but she hoped she would be able to develop some feelings, but it never happened. She was never particularly attracted to him, and by all accounts absolutely hated sleeping with him or even having to make out with him.'

Yesterday Kris was seen in his home state of Minnesota wearing his wedding ring as he headed to the gym.

Neither Kris nor Kim have tweeted about their marriage breakdown although the socialite did issue a statement earlier yesterday.

Kim insisted she had hoped the marriage would 'last forever'.

The 31-year-old reality star said it was 'not an easy decision' after filing for divorce from NBA star Kris, 26, after just 72 days of marriage on the grounds of 'irreconcilable differences'.

In a statement to E! - which screens her TV show - Kim said: 'After careful consideration, I have decided to end my marriage. 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. We remain friends and wish each other the best.'

Kris, meanwhile, says he is devastated by Kim's decision, with TMZ claiming he only learnt she was divorcing him this morning.

'I'm committed to this marriage and everything this covenant represents,' he said in a statement via his representative.

It's over: Kim Kardashian is reported to be filing for divorce from husband Kris Humphries after just 72 days of marriage

We're done: Court documents filed today show Kim has filed for divorce on the grounds of irreconcilable differences


'I love my wife and am devastated to learn she filed for divorce ... I'm willing to do whatever it takes to make it work.'

Yesterday morning Ryan Seacrest, the producer of her reality show, tweeted: 'Yes @KimKardashian is filing for divorce this morning. I touched base with her, getting a statement in just a few mins.'

Kim ensured they both signed a prenuptial agreement before they got hitched at a lavish ceremony on August 20 in Montecito, California.

It netted the couple a reported $18million from magazine deals, TV coverage and endorsements - that's $250,000 every day.

News of their divorce will no doubt add fuel to the fire that the wedding was merely a cynical manoeuvre to cash in at a time when Kim's star had reached its zenith.

Yesterday Kim took to Twitter, but rather than mentioning anything about her marital breakdown cynically plugged her new boutique Kardashian Khaos, which opens today at The Mirage hotel in Las Vegas.

Meanwhile, Khloe Kardashian also took to her Twitter account to defend her elder sister against negative comments.

'Reading some of these comments r so hurtful,' she wrote. 'I'm grateful 4our fans who understand & r being respectful. Hate is disgusting. Love is everything.'

She then added on a later tweet: 'Thank God for family. We are strong and we will only become closer! I love YOU.'


Tweet response: Kim's younger sister Khloe Kardashian took to Twitter to tweet against the fans who have written 'hurtful' comments about the split

Family united: Kourtney Kardashian tweeted her support for Kim saying that the family are 'sticking together' as always


Kourtney Kardashian also rushed to Twitter to voice her support for her younger sister.

'Our sister is going through a difficult time but we're a close family and are sticking together as always,' she wrote.

'We appreciate everyone's kindness and support. @kim kardashian, we love you.'
Insiders have revealed the entire wedding was a sham.

'It was pretty much an arranged marriage right from the start,' one source, close to the Keeping Up With The Kardashians production told RadarOnline.com.

'Kim was looking for a husband and Kris was selected for her, amongst others. She wasn’t really into him but she hoped she would be able to develop some feelings, but it never happened.'

The date of Kim and Kris's separation is listed as yesterday (October 31), divorce papers logged with the Superior Court of California show.

'It's true': Ryan Seacrest, the producer of her E! reality show, just tweeted: 'Yes @KimKardashian is filing for divorce this morning.
I touched base with her, getting a statement in just a few mins'


She has hired top divorce lawyer Laura Wasser, who has dealt with the likes of Britney Spears, Maria Shriver, Angelina Jolie and Ryan Reynolds.

According to Us Weekly, the couple's assets will be divided in accordance with their prenuptial agreement.

Kim's assets prior to the marriage are said to all be protected, and she will also keep everything she earned during their short union.

Television network E! - which screens the Kardashian reality show - released a statement about the divorce.

It read: 'All of us at E! are surprised and saddened by this news, and we send our support to Kim and Kris at this difficult time.

'The Kardashians have always been uniquely open with all aspects of their lives from joyous events to intimate moments to heartbreaking transitions.

'E! will continue to share the fascinating real lives and larger-than-life existence of this close-knit family.'

However, an insider told the New York post that producers are considering whether to stop showing re-runs of Kim's Fairytale Wedding, which was first broadcast in two parts from October 9.

Executives fear the illusion of the fairytale has now been shattered and, therefore, it could ultimately damage the Kardashian brand to keep showing it.

MailOnline reported earlier this month how Kim and Kris's marriage had hit the rocks.

A source close to the couple told us just two weeks ago: 'I don’t know when they’ll announce the split or why they got married in the first place but they are done.’

'They are divorcing. Kim has been staying in a New York hotel which Kris has failed to visit.'

The couple have been dogged by persistent reports that all is not well between them for several weeks now.

Insider: A source told MailOnline that the couple were headed for a split


Earlier this month Star magazine claimed Humphries has been spotted partying in both Miami and New York without Kim, getting flirty with multiple women and 'acting like a single man.'

U.S. magazine Life & Style alleges that on a recent trip to Toronto, Kris contacted his ex-girlfriend, Bianka Kamber.

The magazine also spoke to a Kourtney & Kim Take New York producer who said: 'Kim's mapping out 2012, including holidays, and Kris isn't a part of it. Any itineraries for the future don't include Kris very much.'

The couple's fiery relationship was captured on her reality show Keeping Up With Kardashians, where strong-minded Kris frequently complained about feeling 'emasculated' by Kim.

Another big factor behind the split apparently hinged on a difference in opinion about where to live once the wedding fuss died down.

According to TMZ, sources revealed Kris was set on moving to his home state of Minnesota.

Kim, meanwhile, wanted to stay in Los Angeles, she she is from and where she believes her career can be best served.

The website adds that the while the break up is not a 'nasty one' the couple came to the realisation that things would not work out long-term.

Over the weekend Kim attended a Halloween party in New York - but tellingly did not bring Kris along.

She instead made a red carpet appearance with her PR friend Jonathan Cheban at the Midori Green event.

Over recent weeks the reality star has often been spotted alone and without Humphries.

Following their wedding, the couple shared a brief honeymoon together in Italy.

But they quickly returned to New York to begin filming on her spin-off reality show Kourtney & Kim Take New York, where they lived in a plush NYC hotel suite along with Kourtney and her boyfriend Scott Disick.

Kim and Kris started dating last November soon after Kim ended her brief dalliance with Canadian model Gabriel Aubry - Halle Berry's ex - and announced their engagement in May.

This will mark the second failed marriage for Kim, she eloped to Las Vegas with music producer Damon Thomas - 10 years her senior - when she was just 19, but divorced in 2004 after four years together.

She has also had high-profile relationships with RnB singer Ray J, who she filmed a sex tape with, and NFL star Reggie Bush.
