Lamar Odom recently opened up about his heartfelt reunion with ex-wife Khloé Kardashian, a moment teased in the trailer for season 6 of The Kardashians on Hulu. The unexpected meeting, orchestrated by their mutual friend Malika Haqq, marked the former couple’s first interaction in years.
During an appearance on The Kyle & Jackie O Show, Odom revealed that Malika reached out to him during Super Bowl weekend in Las Vegas in 2024. “[Malika] came to me, she said, ‘Lamar, I think it’s time for you and Khloé to [meet]. It’s been years. You haven’t seen her. If you’re up for it, I think I can make it happen,’” he shared.
Although Odom agreed to the meetup, he was caught off guard when he realized it was being filmed for The Kardashians. “I went there, and there were cameras there, and I was like, ‘Oh, all right.’ It’s cool, I understand it, you know,” he said, reflecting on the experience.
Despite the public nature of their reunion, Odom expressed gratitude for the opportunity to reconnect with Khloé. He described their friendly bond as a “blessing” but clarified that there are no plans to rekindle their romance. “So much time has passed, and people have changed. I think for the better,” he added.
Odom and Kardashian were married in 2009 after a whirlwind romance but separated in 2013. Their relationship, which was widely documented on Keeping Up with the Kardashians, included both joyful and challenging moments, including Odom’s highly publicized struggles with addiction and health issues.
Their recent reunion reflects the mutual respect and care they continue to hold for each other, even as their lives have taken different paths. For fans of the former couple, the upcoming season of The Kardashians promises an emotional glimpse into their journey of healing and friendship.
While Odom cherishes the reconnection, he emphasizes that both he and Khloé have grown significantly since their time together, leaving little room for speculation about a romantic reconciliation. Instead, their meeting highlights the power of forgiveness and the enduring impact of their shared history.
