It’s been a whirlwind of a year for Lamar Odom and Khloe Kardashian as their problems played out through the media. Amongst alleged drug addiction and rumored infidelity, Khloe finally filed for divorce. Lamar on the otherhand seems to still be holding on.
In an exclusive interview with Us Weekly after a Feb. 21 press conference for his new team, Baskonia (a.k.a. Laboral Kutxa), the basketball player said Kardashian would “always” be his wife, even if they divorce — which he’s hoping doesn’t happen.
“I love my wife. She’ll always be my wife, no matter what,” Odom, 34, told Us of Kardashian, 29, who filed for divorce in December after four years of marriage. “Who knows? We don’t know exactly if [the divorce is going through]. Only time will tell. I hope not. But even if we were divorced, she would always be my wife.”
“Those were some of the best years of my life,” he shared. “Being married and being married to a woman I decided to marry was, besides having children, the most important thing in my life.” (The star has two kids from a previous relationship.)
It’s great to see Lamar getting his life back together and playing basketball. Khloe showed reluctance in filing for divorce so maybe Lamar has hopes of getting her back.
