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.

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.'

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


Kim Kardashian has spoken out in the wake of the bombshell news she is divorcing Kris Humphries, insisting 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.

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.'

Earlier this 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 $18m 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.

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

Meanwhile, Khloe Kardashian took to her Twitter account today 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 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 today (October 31), divorce papers logged with the Superior Court of California show.

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

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


'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'


Trouble in paradise: Kim pictured with Humphries on October 19 in New York. MailOnline reported around the time this picture was taken how the couple's marriage was in crisis


Coming to blows: The couple were pictured in their car having what appeared to be a heated row

Storming off: Kris is then seen exiting the motor and leaving before leaving in a separate car


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.'


Business usual: Kim tweeted today - not about her marriage breakdown, but about her excitement about the opening of her new boutique store in Las Vegas, Kardashian Khaos

Business as usual: Kim had various assistant showing up at her Calabasas home in Los Angeles today, with one seen carrying paperwork while another was carrying exercise equipment


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, Humphries 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 hinges on 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.


Former flames: Kim was married to music producer Damon Thomas, left, between 2000 and 2004, and also dated singer Ray J, centre, for two years and NFL star Reggie Bush for three years, right

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.

Adorable duo: Kim Kardashian and husband Kris Humphries walked to NYC's Hillstone Restaurant today


She's married to an athlete and dated two others, so it isn't any wonder that Kim Kardashian would choose to spend her day watching a football game.

The 30-year-old reality star spent half of her day watching the New York Giants play the Philadelphia Eagles with three of her female friends before joining husband Kris Humphries for a bite to eat in Manhattan today.

Although they haven't been spotted together over the last three days, the two reunited for a meal at New York City's Hillstone Restaurant.


The happy couple, who tied the knot in August, held hands and looked utterly happy to be together.

The 26-year-old NBA star couldn't help but gaze down affectionately at his diminutive wife.

He looked at her as if she were the most beautiful girl in the world; he clearly loved her ensemble thigh-high leather boots, aviator sunglasses, black leggings, a brightly patterned peasant top and huge hoop earrings.

City chic: The 30-year-old's ensemble is perfect for a day of sports and nosh in the city

The look of love: The NBA star gazed affectionately at his tiny wife


Humphries himself looked far more casual than his lady in a grey T-shirt, jeans and trainers.

Prior to meeting her husband, Kim spent some time with her ladies at a NYC sports bar; neither of her NFL star exes - Reggie Bush nor Miles Austin - were playing.

'Sunday funday at a sports bar w my churls @JoyceBonelli @CarlaDiBello @SheivaG,' the brunette beauty wrote on her Twitter page this afternoon.

She added later, 'Ok its girls against our men today! Why are we all rooting for opposite teams than our guys! #ChurlPower'

Although she spent her day eating and drinking with people she loved, Kim originally sought spiritual enlightenment.

'Has anyone been to a good Christian church in Manhattan?' she tweeted this morning. 'I want to go today but don't know where.'
