Lamar Odom and Khloé Kardashian have had their fair share of ups and downs — but where do they stand now after his near-fatal overdose and an awkward onscreen reunion?
Odom, 46, and Kardashian, 41, dated for one month before getting engaged in 2009. They got married later that year, and Kardashian filed for divorce four years later. Kardashian later postponed her court motion after Odom was left comatose following an overdose at a legal brothel in Nevada.
After Odom regained his health, Kardashian filed for divorce for a second time. They have since reunited to address their past on Hulu’s The Kardashians. In the February 2025 episode, Kardashian decided to reach out to Odom to return some of his prized possessions. Odom was ultimately 52 minutes late — and when he arrived, he had flowers, cake and champagne.
“I don’t know this person anymore. It is just a mindf***,” she shared. “He is visibly uncomfortable, he is nervous and sweating. I don’t know if he thinks I am going to go off on him. But he just seems scared.”

Odom, who was sweating throughout the conversation, ultimately asked Kardashian for a hug. He He also called Kardashian his wife, which didn’t sit well with her.
“For him to call me his wife, words are empty,” she explained. “When it was great, it was spectacular. When it was bad, it was horrific.”
Kardashian also recalled Odom’s overdose. “I was there through it all. We transferred you from Vegas to Cedars,” she continued. “I didn’t leave you for four months. I got a staph infection because I lived in a hospital.”
Odom, meanwhile, offered an apology to his ex-wife. “I put you through a lot,” he admitted. “I f***ed up with you. I love you for trying your hardest with me. That love will never go away, I know it won’t.”
The exes reflected on their past trauma again one year later in Netflix’s Untold: The Death & Life of Lamar Odom. They did their interviews separately after Kardashian noted they fell out of touch once she filed for divorce again.

“The drug buildup was getting worse and worse. There were many times Lamar would go for 12 hours or two days and escape rehab. He would go on a drug bender and no one could find him,” she said. “I was either looking for him in alleys or looking for him in motels. He would have tinfoil cutouts or spoons and he was freebasing things and leaving things everywhere. I remember needing to go to hotel rooms to clean up after him.”
She added: “I was such an enabler without knowing I was an enabler. But I just felt such a responsibility to cover this up, hold it together and protect him.”
After Odom was traded to the Dallas Mavericks, Kardashian said his drug use “was monstrous.”
“I’ve just never seen so many drugs in such a dark spot and it was just such a dark aura around us. They weren’t testing for certain painkillers and he knew which ones they weren’t,” Kardashian continued. “He was freebasing painkillers. … He was locked in the hotel bathroom for maybe four days just doing drugs. Has no concept of time. He was horrible because he was so f***ed up and high.”
