REALITY TVKhloé Kardashian Reunites With Lamar Odom in New 'Kardashians' Episode in Effort to 'Close' That ‘Chapter' of Her Life
Lamar Odom and Khloé Kardashian reunited for the first time in nine years.
Khloé Kardashian reunited with ex-husband Lamar Odom for the first time in nine years in an effort to “close [that] chapter” of her life “for good.”
Khloé Kardashian was married to Lamar Odom from 2009-2016.
On the February 6 episode of The Kardashians, Kardashian had her best friend Malika Haqq set up the visit between the exes. She opted not to tell her sisters or her mother, explaining her famous momager would have “been crying” had she known about the meeting.
"Lamar was, and is, definitely someone that I was like, the love of my life,” she explained in a confessional. "I got married when I was 24 and although him and I got married 30 days to the day after meeting one another, I loved him with all of my heart and soul."
Khloé Kardashian claimed she loved Lamar Odom with all of her 'heart and soul.'
Kardashian — who was married to Odom from 2009 to 2016 — noted she took her vows “very seriously,” but there were “bigger things that were not fixable” in her marriage. She also shared the last time Odom saw her was in 2016.
"I don’t know if I could even put into words what I felt for Lamar,” she added. "It felt like the most special, magical time of my life — the most purest love I’ve ever had. And although there was so much darkness in that marriage, there was the brightest of the bright times. And I love it and I cherish it.”
As for why she decided to meet up with him now, the Strong Looks Better Naked author explained it was time to “shed as much as I can,” adding she had Odom’s belongings to return to him.
"I want him to have his stuff … and that’s it,” she said. “I wish I could just do that and not have a conversation."

Lamar Odom overdosed in 2015, which put him in a temporary coma.
When Odom arrived at Haqq’s house, Kardashian noted he seemed “scared,” “nervous” and was sweating, but she didn’t have “a lot of emotion.”
"I have dealt with so much trauma in this relationship for years and this was such the love of my life that to learn how to unlove someone — to have to go through all that — it’s almost like a death,” she added.
In terms of what the final straw with Odom was, the famous reality star explained she had to “break contact” with Odom after his 2015 overdose put him in a coma, which she deemed as “repeating some of the same behaviors that I just couldn’t stand for.”
Khloé Kardashian wanted to meet up with Lamar Odom to give him back his belongings she still had.
“I was very upset,” she explained of that time in their lives. “I said to him, ‘I’m going to Vegas. You need to be out by Monday. That’s it, I’m done.’ And I haven’t seen Lamar since that day.”
Fans can tune in to follow all of the drama on Hulu, with new episodes of The Kardashians dropping every Thursday at 12 a.m.
