Surprise! Kim Kardashian and Kris Humphries have announced their engagement after six months together


Reality TV star Kim Kardashian is ecstatic after getting engaged to boyfriend Kris Humphries.

The basketball player got down on bended knee in her bedroom last Wednesday after a whirlwind six month romance.

The happy couple confirmed the news in an exclusive magazine deal, giving away all the details of the proposal.


The 30-year-old tells America's People magazine: 'I didn't expect this at all. I was in such shock. I never thought it would happen at home, and I never thought now.'

The New Jersey Nets player, 26, asked for her hand in marriage with a custom-made 20.5 carat Lorraine Schwartz diamond sparkler.

Humphries picked out for the ring with the help of her manager mother Kris Jenner.

He enthused: 'I just knew I wanted it to be big.'

The athlete proposed by writing 'will you marry me' in rose petals on her bed in her $4.8million Beverly Hills home.

After Kim accepted, the couple celebrated with the Kardashian-Jenner clan during a family dinner.

Kim tells the magazine: 'Kris really didn't want a big celebration, but he had jokingly told my mom he'd be fine if there were mini-horses there.

'Later that night at the party, my mom brought out two mini-horses, covered in glitter, for us! It was hysterical!'

The couple started dating last December soon after Kardashian ended her brief dalliance with Canadian model Gabriel Abury - Halle Berry's ex.

It won't be the first marriage to Kim, she wed music producer Damon Thomas when she was just 20, but divorced in 2004 after four years together.

In 2007, she famously dated rapper Ray J - who featured alongside her in a notorious sex tape.

No idea: The socialite was spotted having lunch in Beverly Hills just hours before Humphries' proposal


Later that year, she started dating American football player Reggie Bush, with the pair dating on and off for two years before splitting for good in March 2010.

Last year, she briefly dated Dallas Cowboys player Miles Austin.

Fans of Keeping Up With The Kardashians have long seen the socialite speak of her wish to settle down and start a family.

When her younger sister Khloe was planning her marriage to Lamar Odom just a month after they started dating, Kim was seen complaining it should be her and ex-boyfriend Reggie Bush getting married.
