Khloé Kardashian and Lamar Odom’s relationship has been a dramatic journey, full of highs and lows. From a whirlwind romance to a tumultuous marriage, their relationship has always been under public scrutiny. Recently, rumors have emerged speculating if the two are dating again, but the latest updates suggest that they are not.
Their romance started in 2008 after meeting at a party hosted by NBA player Ron Artest. The relationship progressed quickly, with the couple getting engaged within weeks of meeting. By September 2009, they tied the knot in an extravagant Beverly Hills ceremony. Their relationship, full of emotional highs and lows, was featured on the reality show Khloé & Lamar which aired for two seasons on E! Entertainment.
However, their marriage soon faced overwhelming challenges. In 2013, Khloé filed for divorce after months of turmoil related to Lamar’s substance abuse issues. In October 2015, Lamar was found unconscious at a Nevada brothel, and Khloé put their divorce on hold to support him during his recovery. Their divorce was finalized in December 2016.
Since their separation, the two have kept their distance. In an interview with E! News in November 2024, Lamar revealed that he doesn’t have much communication with Khloé. However, he acknowledged that she still cares for him. Lamar mentioned that while he can send her a text and receive a reply, they are not in an ongoing relationship.
Khloé has shared her emotions about Lamar in recent interviews. In a July 2023 episode of The Kardashians, Khloé expressed regret over their past relationship, admitting, “Every single day, I feel bad about Lamar [Odom].” She also expressed concern for Tristan Thompson, her on-again, off-again boyfriend, who she also feels bad about not being on a team at the moment. These comments suggest that while Khloé may still care for Lamar, she is not actively seeking a romantic connection with him.
In the same interview, Khloé opened up about her current relationship with Tristan Thompson, the father of her two children, True and Tatum. Their relationship has been fraught with cheating scandals and public controversies. In 2019, Tristan was accused of cheating with family friend Jordyn Woods, leading to their breakup. However, they reunited in 2020, only to face further cheating allegations and paternity tests that put their relationship under strain.
Despite all the challenges, Khloé has expressed her dedication to keeping her family intact for the sake of her children. She has stated that she is willing to give Tristan another chance, particularly for their daughter’s well-being. However, recent reports suggest that their relationship is facing difficulties once again.
At present, Khloé’s main focus is on raising her children and co-parenting with Tristan. She has openly stated her intention to take a break from dating, prioritizing her family and career. In recent interviews, she confirmed that she has no interest in dating anyone new at this time.
Lamar, meanwhile, has been concentrating on his personal growth and recovery. After voluntarily entering treatment in December 2016, Lamar has worked hard to stay sober. He has kept a relatively low profile but has occasionally shared his feelings on social media. In March 2021, Lamar posted a video of himself watching old episodes of Keeping Up with the Kardashians and Khloé & Lamar, expressing gratitude for the support he received from Khloé and her family during their relationship.
Although Lamar has shown regret for his past actions and has expressed a desire to reconnect with Khloé, the latest news points to the fact that they are not dating again. Their communication remains minimal, and Khloé’s priorities are currently focused on her children and her relationship with Tristan. A reconciliation between Khloé and Lamar seems unlikely given the circumstances and Khloé’s statements about her feelings.
While Khloé and Lamar’s past remains a significant chapter in their lives, the latest reports suggest that they are not rekindling their romance. Khloé is prioritizing her family, especially her children, and co-parenting with Tristan, while Lamar continues to work on his recovery. While the future remains uncertain, for now, Khloé and Lamar are not pursuing a romantic relationship.
