Lamar Odom recently opened up on his drug addiction, as well as the breakdown of his marriage to Khloé Kardashian, in his documentary, TMZ’s Sex, Drugs & Kardashians.
Former NBA player Lamar Odom in the preview of his film LAMAR ODOM Sex, Drugs & Kardashians, remembered the sweet time he spent with the reality star Khloé Kardashian. Odom hopes to continue to be her friend but maintained that he’s too shy to ask her out for dinner.
Lamar’s documentary – Lamar Odom: Sex, Drugs & Kardashians
In the upcoming documentary TMZ Presents Lamar Odom: Sex, Drugs & Kardashians, Odom promises to be completely transparent about his connection with Kardashian and her family. Lamar Odom's rocky marriage to Khloé Kardashian, which was as notable as his phenomenal basketball career, will be thoroughly examined in the "revealing" special. It appears that the one-hour program would cover everything from his infidelity scandals to drug issues, how they ruined his marriage to the love of his life, and how they made him into a shadow of his former self.
He ends the clip he released on his Instagram profile by saying, "The stories that y'all don't know is, like, pretty wild." Ahead of his documentary release, here’s a look at his and Khloe’s whirlwind romance.
The Beginnings of Khloé Kardashian and Lamar Odom’s Love
The New York native, Odom instantly fell for the Keeping Up With the Kardashians alum in 2009 at a party hosted by Odom's teammate, Metta Sandiford-Artest. It was pretty much love at first sight for both Khloé Kardashian and Lamar Odom. After only one month of dating, the couple got married in a charming ceremony that was captured on Keeping Up With the Kardashians in September 2009.
Lamar had multiple appearances on Keeping Up with the Kardashians when he was married to Khloé. Lamar shared a good bonding with the Kardashian family and has spoken dearly of them even after his split. The twosome was in wedded bliss, getting matching tattoos, buying a home, and trying for babies — a journey that was documented on their hit E! reality series, Khloé & Lamar, that ran for two seasons, from April 2011 to May 2012.
The rocky Downfall of Khloé Kardashian and Lamar Odom
The fairy tale romance, however, began to unravel in 2013 after four years of marriage, and the duo decided to separate that December. Breakup rumors speculated by the media suggested that Lamar had cheated on Khloé. Nevertheless, the two refuted the reports.
Lamar's troubles with drug addiction were the major factor in the relationship's breakup. The addiction had taken over their marriage. Khloé requested a divorce on December 13, 2013, but it wasn't finalized until July 2015. Kardashian had put the divorce on hold following Odom's near-fatal drug overdose in October 2015. Authorities said that Odom used Viagra-like drugs and cocaine before having several strokes and being discovered unconscious in a Nevada licensed brothel. Only after Lamar Odom recovered by May 2016, did the Good American founder file for divorce once more — finalizing it seven months later in December 2016.
Despite the fact that his drug misuse prematurely ruined his NBA career, ended his marriage to Khloe Kardashian, and rendered him unconscious for three days in a hospital in Las Vegas, he is now transformed and it has been more than five years. Odom has been attempting to understand why he’s still breathing and how to make the most of his second chance ever since he awoke and started to rebuild his life.
What is the current state of Khloé and Lamar's relationship?
Several years after the pair’s divorce, Khloé and Lamar seem to be on good terms, chatting here and there in the following years, and openly showing support for one another.
Lamar Omar recently spoke on how he felt about watching the most recent episode of "Keeping up with the Kardashians" in an interview with E! News, maintaining that it has turned into a "guilty pleasure." He admitted it was difficult to witness Khloé go through a difficult period with the cheating scandal and breakup with ex Tristan Thompson. He continued, "It's always going to be difficult for me to watch someone I love so much upset like that."
The basketball player still looks back fondly and was heard stating, "I will always be grateful for her. When I came out of the coma, she was the one who took care of me. I want to stay her friend and wish her the best for the future.”
The ex-NBA player is too shy to ask his ex-wife out for dinner as a friend as he is scared of rejection and being denied.
Both Khloe and Lamar’s relationship, as well as their personal life, has been through many ups and downs and we can only hope that they are content and at peace. A lot about this relationship and his life after that has been revealed in the documentary. Are you excited to watch Lamar Odom’s upcoming documentary?
