These days, when people think about Kim Kardashian's ex-husband, it is Kanye "Ye" West who comes to mind. After all, Ye and Kim Kardashian had kids together and there is a lot of interest in their net worth following their divorce.

However, as any true Kardashian fan will already know, Kim Kardashian was briefly married to Kris Humphries first. During their brief marriage, many Kardashian fans didn't think Humphries was right for Kim. As it turns out, they weren't the only ones, as Kim Kardashian's siblings have spoken out against Humphries too.

The Kardashian Siblings' True Feelings About Kim Kardashian's Ex-Husband Kris Humphries

Throughout the Kardashian-Jenner family's time in the spotlight, the media and fans have obsessed over every detail of their lives. Since there have been so many headlines about the family, it can be hard for any of them to stand out. Despite that, the coverage of Kim Kardashian and Kris Humphries' incredibly short marriage has somehow remained fascinating for fans.

On the other hand, it seems very clear that two of Kim Kardashian's siblings would love to forget everything about Kris Humphries. After all, two of Kim Kardashian's sisters have been critical of Humphries in the media.

In 2013, Kourtney Kardashian and Kim Kardashian appeared on the Late Show with David Letterman. During the resulting conversation, Kim Kardashian's marriage to Humphries came up with the talk show host asking if their relationship was a "fraud".

In response, Kourtney Kardashian came to her sister's defense in a way that was both hilarious and incredibly insulting to Humphries.

"I think if she was going to do it for publicity, she’d pick someone that people knew."

Caitlyn Jenner's once close relationship with her famous daughters has gone through some very hard times amidst feuds and anger.

No matter how savage and sharp-witted Kourtney Kardashian's remark was, it pales in comparison to what Khloé Kardashian has said. During separate interviews that were years apart, Khloé Kardashian said extremely blunt things about Humphries.

One example of that came when Khloé Kardashian appeared on Snoop Dogg's web series GGN in 2016 and revealed that she advised her sister not to marry Humphries.

“There’s a ton of times that, like, you know, I’ve told my sister the truth. Like when she wanted to marry Kris Humphries, I was like, ‘He’s a f–king loser. Why are you marrying this f–king dog?'”

Years earlier, in 2012, Khloé Kardashian appeared on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno. During the resulting interview, Khloé Kardashian explained to Leno why she never liked Humphries after they first met.

"When I met Kris the very first time, I had just landed in New York and it was late at night … and he was in Kourtney and Kim's suite. And I went in there to say, 'Hi' because Kim was like, ‘Oh, I wanna introduce you to my friend.' They'd just started dating. And you know, one of the first things that came out of his mouth — like within the first five minutes — was, 'So, how much you getting paid to fake your marriage? Like how long are you gonna keep this up for? "I was like, 'Dude, I don't know if you're trying to make me laugh . . .[He] just rubbed me the wrong way."

While Kourtney and Khloé Kardashian certainly haven't always been complimentary of Kris Humphries, they don't speak for their entire family. In Rob Kardashian's case, for instance, he didn't take any shots at Humphries when he first spoke about his sister's divorce. In 2011, Rob Kardashian instead focused on offering his public support to Kim Kardashian during her divorce.

Kim Kardashian is one of the most popular celebrities on Instagram even though fans aren't certain if she posts herself on social media.

"It’s never easy to go through the embarrassment of something like that...It was brutal."

Similar to Humphries, Kim Kardashian has continued to address her 72-day marriage over the years. In some cases, that has come in the form of the reality star defending her decision to go through with the marriage at all. In 2021, Kim Kardashian explained her decision to Andy Cohen during an appearance on Watch What Happens Live.

“I thought, ‘OK. We’re filming this for a TV show. If I leave, I’m going to be known as the runway bride forever. And it’s gonna be a huge joke. And I think, ‘I have cold feet.’ So I was like, ‘OK guys, it’s just cold feet, I’ve got this.’”

During that same interview with Cohen, Kim Kardashian reflected on how she handled her breakup with Humphries. While speaking to Cohen, Kim Kardashian fully admitted that she handled her divorce from Humphries terribly.

"But I was so nervous to break up with someone, I handled it totally the wrong way. I fully broke up with him in the worst way and I just didn’t know how to deal.”

In response to that admission, Cohen asked Kim Kardashian if she felt like she owed Humphries an apology. After Kim Kardashian stated she "absolutely" owed Humphries an apology, she claimed she tried calling him for months to offer one. Kim Kardashian also claimed that she ran into Humphries once, but he utterly refused to speak to her.
