Seven years after Lamar Odom and Khloe Kardashian finalized their divorce, the former basketball player detailed their present-day relationship in an exclusive clip shared with E! News.
Lamar Odom doesn’t keep up with Khloe Kardashian these days.
Nearly eight years after the former NBA player and the Kardashians star finalized their divorce, he revealed what their relationship looks like now.
“I don’t speak to her much,” Lamar told Richard Taite in E! News’ exclusive clip from the Nov. 19 episode of the We’re Out of Time podcast. “She still cares about me. But I don’t speak to her.”
However, that doesn’t mean there’s no communication between the former couple, who broke up in 2013 but finalized their divorce in 2016 after Khloe supported him through a major health scare. As he put it, “I can text her and she’ll reply.”
Although Lamar and Khloe—who tied the knot in 2009, one month after they met at a party—don’t maintain much of a relationship, the 45-year-old admitted that he recently purchased a custom sex doll to look like the reality star.
“They’re going to make it look like her,” the Los Angeles Lakers alum said of the adult toy. “It’s sick, but I think we’re all a little off, a little weird.”
Despite splitting from the Good American founder—who now shares daughter True, 6, and Tatum, 2, with ex Tristan Thompson—Lamar previously opened up about their marriage.
“I’m only speaking for myself, but it’d be hard to really forget somebody after you married them after 30 days,” Lamar told E! News in March. “[It’s] probably impactful, you know, for the rest of your life—whether you stay with them or not.”

Their marriage also gave Lamar the opportunity to develop a deep bond with her little brother Rob Kardashian, whom he still considers a brother.
“I don’t have any siblings,” he told E!. “It was cool to me to have somebody come into my life and play that role. I learned from it.”
“Once a family, always a family,” he continued, attributing his “old school” mindset to his grandmother Mildred Mercer. “The past is the past.”
Lamar emphasized that while he hasn’t seen Rob in years, “We’re always going to be family.”

In 2014, the music industry insider approached the world’s most famous momager at fashion designer Riccardo Tisci‘s 40th birthday bash in Ibiza and “I just tried saying, ‘You’re beautiful. I’d love to get to know you,'” he shared on the family’s OG series, Keeping Up With the Kardashians, “and it went from there.”
Amy Sussman/Getty ImagesWith all due respect for all the small things, Kourtney Kardashian‘s husband has made some pretty grand gestures throughout their yearlong marriage. Take her 44th birthday that saw her and Travis Barker take a trip up the California coast to Santa Barbara. The Blink-182 drummer, 47, marked the occasion by filling their room at the famed Kennedy Cottage with rose petals and gifting her with a $161,819 piece by artist Yoshitomo Nara.
The Poosh founder has fully embraced her new life as the girl at the rock show. And in November 2023, she and Travis welcomed their first child together, son Rocky Thirteen Barker.

She later got fans hoping she was getting back in the dating game with retired NFL quarterback Tom Brady.
Alas, the mom to North West, Saint West, Chicago West and Psalm West—with ex-husband Kanye West—wasn’t on the hunt for a new teammate. “They have friends and business partners in common, but [are] not dating,” a source told E! News in May 2023. “Kim is very focused on her kids, her businesses, law school and preparing for American Horror Story.”
She briefly dated Odell Beckham Jr. until news broke of their split in April 2024.
As a source told E!, Kim is “open to finding love again if she meets the right person.”
InstagramIn a 2023 episode, Kris shoots her shot while chatting with Khloe Kardashian about Tristan Thompson, asking, “How’s everything going with Tristan?” Safe to say the Good American founder has the L.A. Lakers power forward benched for now. Though the exes have worked out a game plan for raising daughter True and son Tatum, Khloe shot down the idea that they’re back together in May 2023, calling the narrative “tiring.”
She’s more interested in starting a fresh story. After meeting Love Is Blind star Alexa Lemieux the following April, Khloe pitched a winning idea to Netflix, writing on Instagram, “I think some of us single K sisters should go on LIB. What do you think?”

The married duo were spotted enjoying a double date with the reality star, 27, and musician Bad Bunny, 29, in February 2023. The following December, it was reported that the two had called it quits.
