Gossip: Kris Humphries, Kim Kardashian
Humphries wanted to propose to Kardashian in Minnesota, but his bride-to-be had other plans.
Kris Humphries’s proposal to Kim Kardashian was staged by Kardashian herself, said RadarOnline.com. In the latest in a series of revelations about the couple’s marriage and her reality show, a source says that Humphries has told family and friends that he wanted to propose to Kardashian in Minnesota, where he’s from, but his bride-to-be had other plans and actually choreographed the scene. “Kim told Kris how, where, and when to propose,” says a friend of Humphries. “Kris wanted it to be intimate and romantic, but all of his ideas were shot down by production officials and by Kim.” Though Kardashian appeared surprised on the show, “it was absolutely no surprise to her whatsoever,” said the source.
