Khloe Kardashian made headlines when her whirlwind romance led to marriage with Lamar Odom. Now her sister is doing the same thing.

After six months of dating her latest boyfriend, Kim Kardashian has very publicly announced her engagement to New Jersey Nets forward Kris Humphries.

Kim got the surprise of her life when she entered her bedroom on May 18. She quickly discovered that Humphries was down on one knee and surrounded by rose petals that spelled out ‘Will you marry me?’.

Kim, keeping the news a secret for an entire week, gave People magazine the exclusive scoop: “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 athlete gave his bride-to-be a 20.5-carat Lorraine Schwartz diamond … custom of course. He explained: “I just knew I wanted it to be big.”

The 16.5-carat emerald cut center stone is flanked by a pair of 2-carat trapezoids. Gushed Kim: “It’s the most beautiful thing I have ever seen. It’s perfect.”
