Remember Kris Humphries?
It's been awhile since most people have heard his name.
Following his uber-expensive wedding to Kim Kardashian, all the couple had to do was drive
off into the sunset together.
But instead, Kardashian filed for divorce after just 72 days, catapulting the 6-foot,
9-inch hunk right back into irrelevancy.
So what has the pro baller been up to since being ousted from the paparazzi-magnet Kardashian
family?
Here are some of the reasons you don't hear from Kris Humphries anymore.
No cameras
Once Kardashian decided that she was ready to end their marriage, Humphries rightfully
backed away from the spotlight, but she wasn't going to let him go that easily.
Kardashian reportedly wanted to have one last Skype chat session with her ex to apologize
for the way she handled the divorce, and she wanted it all to happen in front of the Keeping
Up With The Kardashians cameras.
Humphries wasn't up for it, and allegedly derailed her plan.
"This is so lame, come on."
"It's not."
"This is lame…"
"Trust me, it's not.
SSH!"
An insider told Radar Online,
"Kris turned down Kim's offer because he didn't want to appear on any of the Kardashian reality
shows ever again.
Kim and Kris haven't spoken since the divorce was made final, and there are no plans to
do so."
Eating healthy with Kris
What many failed to realize during his short-lived reality TV career is that Humphries wasn't
just some dumb, immature jock.
He actually made several business deals before hooking up with his ex-wife, and he has continued
to increase his wealth by diving feet first into various investment opportunities following
their divorce.
In addition to being a franchisee of Five Guys burger joints across multiple states,
the athlete took a leap of faith in 2018 when he decided to venture into the healthy food
business.
After becoming the very first franchisee of CRISP & GREEN, Humphries told Business Wire,
"Walking into CRISP & GREEN for the first time I knew right away it was exactly what
Minnesota needed."
House-flipping
After his divorce, Humphries seemingly disappeared from the glitzy Hollywood scene, but he didn't
stay far away from Tinseltown for long.
Forbes magazine reported in July 2015 that the business-savvy basketball player had plopped
down $6.2 million on a super-glamorous home in Beverly Hills.
Those who believed Humphries was setting down roots in the famous zip code so he could creep
on his ex-wife were surprised when, just two years later, he turned around and sold the
home for $8.25 million!
Make it rain, Humphries!
Giving back
Every now and then, Humphries will pop back up in the press to disclose how he's been
spending his time away from the spotlight, like when he gave all the deets on how his
charity impacts the community.
Maybe he didn't make a huge splash on the courts as a professional player, but he used
his sports knowledge to give back to kids with his annual basketball camp at the Boys
and Girls Club in St. Cloud, Minnesota.
According to Minnesota radio station WJON, The Kris Humphries Foundation Basketball Clinic
taught kids not only how to dribble a basketball, but also how to be well-rounded individuals
on and off the court.
"One of the things I always talk about is just the ability to understand if you're doing
what it takes to become successful."
Sparking controversy
Don't feel too bad that Humphries went from being married to one of the most popular celebs
in the world to a life of obscurity.
If you ask him, he's happy that he's away from the Kardashian-Jenner clan.
Far, far away, to be exact.
Following Caitlyn Jenner's tell-all interview with ABC, when she revealed she would be living
life as a transgender woman, Humphries tweeted, "Man, I'm glad I got out when I did.
[with the hashtag "Gotta do you.]"
"Kris Idiot Humphries tweets 'Thank God I got outta that family in time' and just got
absolutely ripped."
Unsurprisingly, the Twitterverse let him have it, and he followed up with another tweet
to apologize, saying, "I have and always will support Bruce, hence "Gotta do you".
Now I recognize I was too vague and sincerely apologize for the way this came across."
Despite Humphries' backtracking, his comment clearly didn't sit well with Jenner.
"I got too many friends, too many things to do, I don't need haters in my life."
Time for payback?
When Kanye West appeared on Khloe Kardashian's now-canceled talk show, Kocktails with Khloe,
he admitted that he had reached out to Kardashian while she was married to Humphries in an attempt
to woo her.
"And so I started sending her pictures of like certain basketball players that used
to be cool, that now they wear their pants like all up to here, like 'this is your future!'"
According to Radar Online, Humphries was pretty ticked off by West's confession, and he was
considering clapping back in a major way.
An insider revealed,
"[Humphries is] exploring his legal options with the goal in mind of doing a full TV sit-down
and even a book that would hang Kim Kardashian and her family out to dry."
Sounds salacious.
He might be back in the spotlight sooner than we anticipated!
