It appears that the highest paid reality television star is now dating another professional athlete. Rumors are swirling that Kim Kardashian and Kris Humphries are now dating. Humphries is a pro basketball player for the New Jersey Nets, a departure from the usual NFL and soccer stars that Kardashian dates. Maybe Kim is going for a more obscure athlete to avoid too much media attention on her dating life. Or there's another possibility which involves trading up.
So how are things for the "Keeping Up With the Kardashians" reality TV star who earns about $6 million for her "work"? Recent rumors had hit the internet that Kardashian was pregnant by Kanye West. Kim quickly squashed those rumors, and it also appears she is no longer dating the 34-year-old model she had been seeing. According to a report at PEOPLE.com, Kardashian has stopped seeing former Halle Berry beau, Gabriel Aubrey. Kim and Gabriel had been sighted together at a LA Lakers game, and spent some other quiet nights together at home. A source says Aubrey and Kardashian still talk, but more in a friendly way.

So now Kim Kardashian has started dating Kris Humphries. According to a source, it seems Kim gets along really well with her latest romantic interest. The source said "They get along so well. They've been taking it slow but they have so much fun together." Humphries is pictured below on the court against the Memphis Grizzles during the 2009-10 season.
So who is Kris Humphries and what are the stats? He's a 6-foot-9 forward for the NJ Nets out of Minnesota. Humphries has been in the league for six years and averages 7.4ppg with over 8 rebounds a game this season. He's pretty much an unknown unless you're a hardcore basketball fan, but Kim is happy and that's what counts!

Of course Kim may be cozying up to him to get in good with the rich co-owner of the Nets, Mikhail Prokhorov. Mikhail currently ranks as the 39th richest man in the world with a net worth estimated at $18.4 billion. Smart move Kim, start low on the Nets totem poll to try to get to the top!
