Kris Humphries WILL sign the divorce papers

He was reported to be 'blindsided' at the news that his wife Kim Kardashian was filing for divorce, and even vowed to fight to save the marriage. But now Kris Humphries is admitting defeat, according to reports. 'He will be signing the papers,' says a source close to the 26-year-old basketball star told People.

as reports emerged he will sign Kim Kardashian's divorce papers

Just two weeks after his wife Kim Kardashian filed for divorce, Kris Humphries jumped a plane and headed back to NYC on Nov. 14. Once he was back in the Big Apple, Kris headed to Serafina — the restaurant he used to go to all of the time with Kim — to grab a bite to eat with some friends. While Kris was surrounded by buddies, he still seemed miserable without Kim by his side! Kris was really unhappy. “He seemed really sad,” describes a witness. “He was talking low and seemed very mellow. His friends seemed to be supporting him.”

The source told the website that Humphries is working on moving on from the split and added that recent reports which stated he was refusing to sign the divorce papers were untrue. Shortly after Kim filed for divorce on October 31, Humphries told TMZ he wanted to save his marriage.

'I'm committed to this marriage and everything this covenant represents,' he said. 'I love my wife and am devastated to learn she filed for divorce. 'I'm willing to do whatever it takes to make it work.' Meanwhile, his estranged wife Kim Kardashian has been keeping a low profile in Los Angeles.

Yesterday, she took to her blog to apologise to fans for her 'break' from updating and thank them for their support over the past two weeks. She wrote on Celebuzz: ''I took a break from blogging for a while, but I’ve missed you guys so much and I want to start sharing my updates with you all again. 'I’ve been reading all your comments on here and, as always, my loyal blog dolls have been nothing but supportive. You all know who you are, so thank you! I love you guys. Kim xo'
