Khloé Kardashian and Lamar Odom experienced one of the most vibrant and public love stories of the late 2000s. They met in 2009, and just a month later, they got married, embarking on a tumultuous romance that ultimately ended amid personal struggles and heartbreak. Although their marriage formally lasted seven years, the couple separated in 2013—around the same time Khloé was supporting Lamar during his recovery from a near-fatal overdose in 2015. Their divorce was finalized in 2016.
In March 2022, Lamar publicly expressed his regrets about their marriage, commenting on the incident at the Oscars ceremony involving Will Smith and Chris Rock. In a social media post, he admitted that he failed to protect Khloé during their marriage, adding that if he had emotionally, mentally, and spiritually supported her, they «might still be married».
Later that year, Lamar reiterated these feelings during his participation in the show «Celebrity Big Brother», - where he openly expressed his lingering love and regret. «I just want to invite her to dinner and say I’m sorry», - he said, adding that he still misses Khloé and her family and feels that he let them down.
Next, we will take a closer look at their romantic history—from its tumultuous beginning to its very public end.
Khloé and Lamar instantly hit it off when they met at a party in August 2009. Three weeks later, he proposed to her, and they got married just nine days after that, with the ceremony featured in an episode titled «The Wedding» from Season 4 of «Keeping Up with the Kardashians».
After the wedding, the couple epitomized marital bliss, often displaying their love publicly during outings and interviews. Khloé was a constant presence at Lamar’s NBA games, cheering for her husband from the stands, although she disliked the idea of being known solely as a basketball player’s wife. «I'm not just a basketball player’s wife. I have my own career», - she said in a 2011 interview with ET.
A year after their wedding, the tireless couple signed a contract for their own reality show titled «Khloé & Lamar», - which aired for two seasons.
By 2013, Lamar’s struggles with addiction became increasingly apparent, along with his infidelities, which he later admitted to. After four years of marriage and Lamar’s arrest for driving under the influence, Khloé filed for divorce in December 2013.
Two years later, while the divorce papers were still not signed, Lamar was found unconscious in a Nevada brothel after a near-fatal overdose. Khloé and her family rushed to his bedside at a Las Vegas hospital, where he was in a coma. At that time, Khloé paused the divorce to help him recover. When he regained consciousness and it became clear that her feelings had not changed, she filed for divorce again, which was finalized on December 17, 2016.
After their separation, Lamar briefly got engaged to fitness trainer Sabrina Parr in 2019, but the relationship ended the following year. Since then, Lamar has occasionally shared posts and comments that hint at his lingering feelings for his ex-wife. At the end of 2025, he even posted old photos with Khloé and reflective captions that fans interpreted as nostalgic.
Meanwhile, Khloé has primarily focused on co-parenting her children—daughter True (born in 2018) and son Tatum (born in 2022)—with her ex-boyfriend Tristan Thompson. After years of an on-and-off relationship that ended in 2021, she stated that she is currently single and not dating anyone. In an interview in April 2025, she joked that she is not dating anyone at the moment, although she is theoretically open to a partner in the future
