Lamar Odom still has eyes for Khloé Kardashian. In the tell-all documentary, “TMZ Presents: Lamar Odom: Sex, Drugs, & Kardashians,” the former athlete was asked if Kardashian was the love of his life, to which he gave a surprisingly candid answer: “I think so. With all those other women I was with, none of them made me feel secure enough.”
Odom also doubled down on his desire to reconnect with the Good American cofounder but revealed there was one thing holding him back. “I’m too shy,” he explained. “I’m a Scorpio, and I hate being told ‘no’ and being denied. I’m afraid.” If given a chance, Odom said he would appreciate the opportunity to rekindle his relationship with Kardashian, even if it meant just “being her friend.” When asked what he thought about the controversy surrounding her and her ex, Tristan Thompson, Odom admitted he wasn’t happy about how their situation played out. “When she gets hurt, of course, that hurts me,” he confessed. “I think what hurts me more is that it’s not my place to protect her.”

Kardashian, for her part, has nothing but good things to say to Odom. In the “Keeping Up With the Kardashians” reunion special in June 2021, she shared that she wishes him “nothing but the best and good health” (via Us Weekly). And even though she had to endure a lot, “I loved that chapter in my life. Regardless of how dark and crazy that might sound, it was still just a very significant part of my life and my story, and I wouldn’t change it.”
