Lamar Odom had a successful NBA career from 1999 to 2014, winning two NBA championships with the Los Angeles Lakers and receiving numerous individual awards. After retiring from basketball, he became a father to three children—daughter Destiny and sons Lamar Jr. and Jayden, whom he raises with his former partner Lisa Morales, with whom he dated before marrying Khloé Kardashian.
Despite many professional and personal successes, Lamar’s life has also been filled with challenges. In 2006, his youngest son Jayden tragically passed away at just six months old, which was a tremendous loss for the family. Later, in 2015, his widely publicized near-fatal overdose became another turning point that negatively affected his relationships, including with Destiny and Lamar Jr., as he struggled to recover.
Destiny Odom was born on August 6, 1998, and is Lamar Odom’s only daughter. At the time of her birth, Lamar was a freshman at the University of Rhode Island, just a year before he was drafted by the Los Angeles Clippers.
Destiny was 11 years old when her father married Khloé Kardashian after just a month of dating—a moment she has openly discussed in interviews. «Everything changed when my dad married Khloé», - Destiny told People in 2017. «Everything became much more public. When your dad is an NBA player, that’s already enough, but when he marries a reality star, everything becomes so public that you have no personal life anymore».
Destiny’s relationship with her father deteriorated after his near-fatal overdose in 2015, which left him in a coma. However, they later began to rebuild their relationship. In Lamar’s 2021 documentary «Lamar Odom: Rebirth», - Destiny shared that their bond had significantly improved, explaining that she now turns to him for advice. «I literally call him for advice because I feel like I can open up to him», - she said. «I finally see what a real father is supposed to be».
Lamar Jr., born in 2002, is Lamar Odom’s second child with Lisa Morales. He mostly keeps a low profile, focusing on his studies and growing up, although he occasionally speaks candidly about his relationship with his father.
Lamar Jr. appeared alongside his father in the 2021 documentary, where he reflected on how he watched Lamar change after his near-fatal overdose. In the film, he noted that he sees his father «growing as a person, as a man, as a father», - adding that he notices how Lamar is «taking steps toward responsibility and healing».
However, their relationship has not been without difficulties. In November 2019, Lamar Jr. publicly expressed his disappointment upon learning through social media that his father had gotten engaged to Sabrina Parr. «There was no message or call to see how we, the people who have known this guy his whole life, would react», - he wrote on Instagram at the time, according to E! News. He later deleted the post and clarified his feelings, sharing a more measured supportive message. «After all, I’m a teenager becoming a young man», - he wrote. «I only feel love for my dad and want him to be okay».
After a brief period of public tension, a source told HollywoodLife that Lamar and his son spoke directly and had a heartfelt conversation, which was another step forward in their efforts to rebuild trust. Lamar’s engagement to Parr was later called off, and since then, Lamar Jr. has mostly kept his relationship with his father private.
Jayden, Lamar and Lisa’s youngest child, was born on December 15, 2005. Just six months later, on June 29, 2006, Jayden tragically passed away from sudden infant death syndrome while sleeping
