Lamar Odom is set to grace our screens in the upcoming sixth season of The Kardashians, following a heartwarming reunion with his ex-wife, Khloe Kardashian. Fans of the famous clan are buzzing with excitement as the reality TV series prepares for its big return, set to hit Hulu and Disney+ on February 6. The 45-year-old former NBA star has opened up about rekindling contact with Khloe, 40, thanks to her bestie Malika Haqq. Chatting on The Kyle and Jackie O Show, Lamar spilled: “I bumped into her in Las Vegas, I think it was Super Bowl weekend. She came to me and said, ‘You know Lamar, I think it’s time for you and Khloe… You haven’t seen her in years. If you’re up for it, I think I could make it happen.'”

The whirlwind romance of Lamar and Khloe began in 2009 when they married after a month of dating, a journey captured in their exclusive self-titled reality show. Their initial split in 2013 led to a short-lived reconciliation, concluding with their official divorce in 2016, marking the end of their union. Lamar’s marriage catapulted him into the glitzy world of celebrity, with his relationship with Khloe constantly grabbing news headlines. He made numerous appearances on reality TV due to his ties with Khloe, including stints on Keeping Up With The Kardashians and Kourtney and Khloe Take Miami, reports the Mirror. Before his days linked with reality TV fame, Lamar impressed on the basketball court, notably playing forward for the Los Angeles Lakers. His illustrious NBA career bestowed on him a fortune, now estimated at $30 million (£24m) by Celebrity Net Worth.

Lamar has not only made his name on the basketball court, with a bronze Olympic medal in 2004, and a gold at the 2010 FIBA World Championship, but he’s also graced our screens in Dancing with the Stars and Celebrity Big Brother. Ex-couple Lamar and Khloe, who is mum to True, six, and Tatum, two, from her previous relationship with Tristan Thompson, will reunite in the new series of The Kardashians and their meet-up has been teased in the eagerly awaited trailer. Howver, Lamar, who is dad to three kids, has firmly closed the door on any potential romantic reunion with Khloe. In a candid interview, he expressed that though it would be a “blessing” to have Khloe in his life as a friend, he believes moving on is the “healthy” choice.
